We apologize to the local fire department for that spate of 911 calls this morning from a handful of very resourceful chihuahuas. The giant alien they spotted at Muttville is a Great Dane named True North who happens to love dogs, even very small ones, and people, including firefighters. And they love him back due to his majestic handsomeness, childlike curiosity, and his habit of gently leaning in to invite the kind of neck petting that one generally reserves for horses. Of course, he loves long hikes and adventures! Look at him! He also is fine with stairs, and maybe, if you ask nicely, some modeling, including occasional runway work. Go ahead and swoon when you meet him. Happens all the time.

HERE’S SOME NOTES FROM HIS FOSTER:

Meet True North – A Gentle Giant Looking for His Forever Home.

True North is a lovable Great Dane who is hoping to find his perfect match! This sweet boy is the definition of a gentle giant. At home, he’s wonderfully calm and relaxed, spending most of his time napping peacefully. But when he’s awake, he can’t wait to receive all the pets and cuddles.

True North absolutely adores making new four-legged friends. He’s been very well-behaved at the dog park, though he does get a bit excited when he sees other pups and may pull on the leash. But he’s already making great progress on his leash manners! In the neighborhood, True North is quite the local celebrity. Everyone loves seeing his friendly face around town. He’s incredibly gentle with children and small dogs, though he may occasionally jump up when he’s really excited. This big guy still has a bit of a puppy spirit!

True North is an active boy who loves going on long walks, sometimes up to 2 hours a day. But he’s also just as happy to lounge around the house playing with his toys. He’s very reliable, waking up between 7-8am to go outside and having his main potty break in the evenings. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to join your family, True North might just be the one!

This gentle giant will bring so much joy and laughter to your home. Come meet True North today and see if he’s the perfect match for you!

STAFF PICK:

Puppy alert! I am so in love with this long-legged boy with the biggest heart. He’s snuggly, playful, and happy. True North is a true leaner, and he loves to be close and involved with whatever you’re doing. No one told him that is not a lap-sized dog or that he is a card-carrying member of a senior dog rescue. He’s a puppy through and thorough, with lots of love to give and adventures to embark on. I don’t know how he’s keeping his super-model figure, as he is a snack aficionado and will happily sit and shake to earn them. He’s my kind of guy, so deserving and so sweet. I hope he finds a fun-loving home where he will be spoiled and enjoyed.

True North’s ideal family: True North is a real sweetheart who has been through a lot of transition lately. He has exhibited some stress during his recent transitions into new homes and spaces, and specifically gets upset when left alone without his people. He needs a home that can work with him on alone time training and will give him time, patience and love while he learns the ropes in his new forever home.
