Nyx

Description

  Meet Nyx, the majestic Great Dane who’s equal parts elegance and pure goofball energy. This gentle giant believes she’s a lap dog trapped in a hundred-pound body and will happily wedge herself into the smallest bed she can find just to be close to her people. Nyx is sweet, affectionate, and loves to cuddle almost as much as she loves to play. Whether it’s squeaky toys, peanut butter-filled Kongs, or a good game of fetch with her favorite humans, she’s always ready for fun. She’s also great with kids and other dogs, though she occasionally forgets her size when she’s excited — consider yourself warned if you’re sitting on the couch and she decides it’s snuggle time. She’s crate trained, house trained, and doing well on her leash walks, especially with her special harness. Nyx is a quick learner who wants to please and thrives on positive attention. This big, lovable girl would do great in just about any home where she’s treated like the cherished family member she longs to be. If you’ve ever dreamed of sharing your couch (and probably your pillow) with a big-hearted beauty, Nyx is ready to take up all the space in your home — and your heart. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.    ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
