Ivan (68701)

Ivan our resident stunning Great Dane has impressed us with his ability to socialize with dogs and is settling in well to shelter routines. However, a small shelter pen is no place for this giant breed. We are seeking an experienced and realistic home for a young Ivan to learn and thrive. He has found his way to GAWS due to an incident in the home possibly associated with sleep startle, however the underlining issue was most likely due to a lack of guidance and leadership - if you understand this last sentence without asking questions you may be the person we are seeking. It is imperative that Ivan has a home with strong, experienced handlers, room to move, no children, no cats or pocket pets, but definitely a well matched mature dog if possible. Ivan was slightly nervous and wary when he first arrived, true to the breed, but has opened up and shown lovely improvement with those who he meets. Ivan has an indemnity for a common and manageable issue with his elbows called hygromas. If you are serious and committed about meeting this stunning boy please apply in detail.
