Leona, 2 years Female Great Dane
Mix
|
|
Leona is a young Great Dane mix. This dog IS a real sweetie. We understand now why the county let her slip beyond her kill date. What a nice girl. She was originally fostered with another dog and cats. She's a spaz (have I heard that somewhere before?), but an extremely lovable spaz! She also calms down quite nicely once indoors. Yes, she jumps into the chair from behind (up and over the back without a second thought - sometimes with a bit of a running start coming out of the kitchen and into the living room - whoosh!), but curls up quite nicely and sleeps happily. She will also jump into the bed of a pickup truck, with the tailgate up! They said she was strong on a leash, but that they worked with her a lot. A quick pop of the leash settles her down.
The WV foster folks loved her personality, as did the folks at the clinic who decided not to euthanize, God bless them.
We understand that she is great with kids. She was picked up as a stray with several other dogs in September, 2006. She remains "slight", but will get plenty of nourishment in foster care. She's on the small side (maybe because she was lacking for food for so long) for a Great Dane, but has the features. If you're looking for a real companion dog, Leona could be for you! She's young (less than two years old), and full of energy.
