PATCHES - Great Dane Dog for Adoption in Dalton, Georgia

Meet Patches, a 130-pound lap puppy who recently celebrated his 1st birthday!

Yes, you read that correctly. ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY pounds of pure love, chaos, comedy, and absolute baby behavior. Patches is a fully vetted, heartworm-negative Harlequin Great Dane currently living his best life while searching for the perfect family to call his own. He is also kept protected on Bravecto because giant toddlers deserve good healthcare too.

Now lets get one thing straight right out of the gate:
Patches has absolutely no idea hes gigantic.

In his mind, he is approximately 2 pounds, portable, and fully intended to fit directly in your lap at all times. Personal space? Never heard of it.

And despite being the size of a small refrigerator, Patches is one of the gentlest souls youll ever meet.

Because of his size and excitement level, we will always recommend slow introductions with new people and animals. Hes a big happy goofball with the strength of a freight train and the self-awareness of a marshmallow.

Because of his size, strength, and enthusiasm for life, Patches would do best with someone physically capable of handling a giant breed dog. He is incredibly gentle and loving, but at 130 pounds of solid muscle, an excited Patches can accidentally pull, bump, or bulldoze his way into situations simply because he doesnt realize how big he is. An active owner who understands giant breeds and can confidently manage his energy will help set him up for success.

Patches LOVES tug-of-war, but unless your name is Hercules, The Hulk, or the Jolly Green Giant, I do not recommend challenging him because this boy is undefeated and absolutely intends to keep it that way.

He will need an active family that understands giant breeds and is ready for a dog that truly enjoys life. He loves walks, playtime, adventures, and being involved in absolutely everything you are doing at all times.

At the end of the day, Patches is just this incredible combination of giant and gentle a goofy oversized baby with a heart every bit as huge as the rest of him.

If you are looking for a dog that will make you laugh daily, love you endlessly, accidentally sit on you regularly, and become the center of your entire universe... Patches might just be your perfect match.
