Grace

Grace hasn't had a great start to life and really needs a patient, calm and understanding owner to help her get through some rough patches. She is great with other animals, and lives with an abundance of dogs, horses and chickens in foster care but she is a little shy when it comes to meeting new people. At only 13 months old, Grace has spent her entire life in a concrete kennel and was unfortunately bred at only 9 months old. So due to this, she needs some extra care.
Whilst in foster care, Grace has been exposed to an array of things including car rides, vet clinics, dogs, chickens, young kids, horses and strangers coming to the property. She is also being taught how to walk on a leash, her recall, basic obedience and also toilet training- which is all coming along slowly but nicely.
A home with another large dog would be preferred, as she does use other dogs to read people and their safety and she also loves nothing more than to play with another friendly dog. A home with kids over the age of 10 is preferred as young kids are a little too noisy and unpredictable for her to handle. Her new home will need to understand that she needs some extra care and time to adjust to her new surroundings and it may take her a little longer to settle down than most dogs. Once she trusts you, she loves nothing more than to cuddle and be smooched upon and have a little wrestle with and it doesn't take long when the right approaches are made. Grace will need at least 5ft fencing to make sure she is safe and secure in her new home and will need to have access to the inside of the house, especially when you aren't home as she loves to be made part of the family. Typical to the Great Dane breed, she does love a good comfortable bed or lounge to rest upon and even though she is a dane mix she is around the 35-40 kilo mark in size.
