Larry - Great Dane Dog for Adoption in Silver Spring, Maryland

My name is Larry, and I'm a 1-year-old tan Great Dane weighing around 75 pounds! Earlier this month, a kind hunter found my brother and me out in the woods when we were severely underweight and dehydrated. Since then, we've been on a steady feeding schedule and have already gained a healthy 10 to 15 pounds!

Even after a rough start, I am the sweetest, most gentle big guy. I walk nicely on a leash, take treats very softly from your hand, and love playing with other dogs! I can get pretty vocal when I play, and I also like to do some goofy mouth play, though I'm always gentle and never put any pressure down. Because I don't quite realize how big I am yet, I'm currently learning not to jump up when I get excited, and I'm also working on my housetraining (luckily, I'm super treat-motivated!). One funny thing to know about me is that when my brother and I were put in separate outdoor runs after getting neutered, I got bored and showed everyone I can climb a fence!

I'm neutered, microchipped, up to date on my shots. I'm so ready to trade my days in the woods for a soft bed and a loving family. Come meet me soon!
