Great Dane Dogs Available for Adoption

LOCATION: Medford, NY
DOB: 11/15/2019

Are you in the market for a dog who believes that no lap is too small for a Great Dane-sized cuddle? Meet Lilly, the dog who’s convinced that she’s the perfect fit for your lap—whether reality agrees or not. At 75 pounds, this sweet, snuggly girl may think she's a lap dog, but her heart is even bigger than her adorable frame. Lilly is a professional snuggler who will happily attempt to be your personal weighted blanket, keeping you cozy with her warm, loving presence.

Lilly’s energy knows no bounds, and she’s a true playtime enthusiast, especially when romping with her foster siblings. However, her play style is on the enthusiastic side, so smaller dogs might not be able to keep up with her zest for life. She also loves her walks and is always ready to be your certified walking buddy, happily accompanying you on any adventure, no matter how big or small.

Though Lilly may be a bit shy at first—especially with men—once she trusts you, she’s an absolute love bug. She’ll shower you with affection, and if you're lucky enough to win her trust, you’re in for a lifetime of devotion. She’s also a bit of a Houdini when it comes to her crate. While she is crate-trained, Lilly prefers a little more freedom and has been known to get creative with her “exits.” If you leave her alone, she’ll happily make her way to the couch for a nap, awaiting your return.

Lilly is friendly with cats but will happily chase them if they run, so she’s better suited for a home where feline friends are comfortable with her playful antics. Because of her exuberance, she’s best with larger dogs and older children who can match her playful energy and help keep her in check. Lilly’s ideal home would include a family who can provide her with plenty of love, affection, and a little extra room to stretch out on the couch (or your lap!).

Lilly has had a rough past, being bred unethically, but she’s overcome her challenges with resilience and grace. She’s had one unexplained seizure (which has never happened again), suffers from anxiety that’s managed with medication, and experienced a traumatic tail injury that led to it being docked. She also takes medication daily for incontinence. Despite these hurdles, Lilly is a bright, happy girl who deserves the best family to call her own.

Are you ready to welcome this goofy, lovable sidekick into your home? Lilly is waiting to shower you with all the love and snuggles she has to give—she’s ready to be your forever companion!
