Albus is a handsome 2 year old male Great Dane mix who was brought to the HSOV on March 4, 2026 and, unfortunately, was not reclaimed by his owner.
Albus has a snow white coat, long legs, a long tail, and a beautiful black-and-white face with Great Dane features.
Albus may look familiar to many of our HSOV Facebook followers since he was in our shelter in the Fall of 2025 and was eventually reclaimed ...
These photos of Albus were taken on September 19th when HSOV Kennel Tech Emma Dahlgren spent time with him outdoors and helped him with his best poses. Albus loved the opportunity to stretch his long legs and run a few laps around Emma. Albus even surprised us with some yoga poses (naturally he excelled in the 'downward dog' position) (smile). Albus weighed 57 lbs that day and was fairly strong on a leash.
Albus knows basic commands (sit, shake, and easy). He is very treat motivated and has a sweet, outgoing personality. Albus is good with cats.
Since he was not reclaimed, we will have Albus neutered and find him a great home. Albus could be fostered-to-adopt while he is awaiting his neuter procedure with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application.
