Broley

Description

LOCATION: Hamlet, NCDOB: 06/07/2021Meet Broley, a handsome white Great Dane with a goofy streak and a gentle, thoughtful soul. At his core, he’s a big clown who loves nothing more than simply being near his person. Once he knows he can trust you, his sweet, easygoing personality shines through, and he’ll happily spend his days lounging, following you around the house, or curling up for long naps at your side.Broley has definite couch-potato tendencies and thinks a comfy spot and a calm home are just about perfect. He’s a champion napper, an enthusiastic snuggler, and he’ll gladly share the couch—especially if you got there first or have a treat to sweeten the deal. Out in the yard, he’s content with a bit of exploring and light play, but he doesn’t need high-energy adventures to be happy. A fenced yard where he can relax and move at his own pace suits him well.He’s still learning that new people can be safe and kind, so he may be wary at first and sometimes reacts when faced with unfamiliar adults. But with patient, gentle handling, he’s making steady progress. He’s smart, observant, and slowly discovering how to play, and he appreciates someone who will go at his pace and show him the world doesn’t have to be scary.Broley is fully housetrained and walks nicely on a leash. He does best having his own room instead of a crate, where he can stretch out and feel secure. He’s muzzle trained, too, which makes vet visits and new situations easier for him. He recently completed heartworm treatment, and his future adopter should follow up with their vet to confirm his status. He hasn’t yet been introduced to other dogs, cats, or children in his foster home, so a careful, structured introduction plan would be needed if those are part of his future family.He does have a mischievous side—Broley is a proud countersurfer and has a particular fondness for apples, mangos, and bread. With consistency and supervision, he’s learning the rules, but his new family should expect a bit of creativity and persistence from this smart guy.Broley’s ideal home is quiet, patient, and understanding. He’ll thrive with someone who appreciates the Dane “lean,” doesn’t mind a little dog hair, and is willing to give him the time he needs to build trust. A fenced yard would give him a safe space to relax, and a home with kind adults who come around regularly would help him continue his progress with meeting new people. With the right family, Broley will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion who brings equal parts silliness and sweetness to every day.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!
