Rummy - Great Dane and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption

Rummy is a one-year-old giant puppy who appears to be a Great Dane mix based on his enormous size. This big, handsome boy already has lots of wonderful home skills under his belt. He is housetrained, non-destructive when left alone, used to sleeping in a crate, and has previously lived with cats. He also gets along with other dogs, making him a well-rounded young dog with a lot to offer.

Rummy loves toys, enjoys showing off the commands he knows, and is always happy to prove what a smart boy he is.

Because Rummy is very large and very strong, he will do best with an adopter who is comfortable handling a big dog and continuing his training as he matures. He can also be a little unsure around new men at first, so hell appreciate a patient family who can give him time, reassurance, and positive experiences. We think he would be most comfortable in a home with older, dog-savvy children.

If you're looking for a playful, smart, oversized best friend with a great start and plenty of love to give, Rummy is waiting!
