This dog needs a home. His person is requesting EMAILS ONLY.
[email protected]
His name is Ozzy. He is about 3 years old and needs a home with Dane experience.
He is loving and adores cuddling. He is goofy and likes to lay around in the backyard. He has endless patience for his sister dog who has twice the energy he has. He’s not food or toy aggressive, he’s never destroyed anything in our home, he’s housebroken, he jumps right in the tub for a bath, he doesn’t take food off the counter despite being able to easily reach, and he has that Great Dane lean and will stare lovingly into your soul while he does it. He wants to do right by his people.
The challenges that Ozzy faces:
Primarily, his reactivity on leash and his barking in the home. We believe both of these behaviors stem from a level of fear/anxiety about other dogs (the barking occurs when he sees or hears another dog outside the home). As I stated, he’s been really good with the other Dane. About 6 months ago, he did some day training classes that involved adventures with a trainer and multiple dogs and he had no issues. However, when he is on leash or when there is a barrier, he responds to other dogs by leaping in the air and occasionally growling.
Ozzy would benefit from learning about life with someone who is patient, firm and knowledgeable about Great Danes.
If you need more information, please EMAIL Emily at email listed at the beginning.

We have been sharing Scout almost 3 months now. She's had no interest. Because of that, her family is going to surrender her to a shelter when a spot opens up for her. We share this to ask that you all hit your shares for Scout again today. It would be amazing if we could help Scout avoid a shelter intake.
Scout is an 8-year-old girl who weighs 75 pounds. We are told she is a blend of German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, and Golden Retriever. Isn't her copper color gorgeous?! In addition to being a pretty girl, Scout is a very smart, sensitive girl who loves her people.
With time, proper introductions, and smart integration, Scout could live with another dog. She currently lives with a dog who is her best pal. It would be so nice if she could find a home with a calm, mature dog who can help her relax and adapt with her move. Scout needs a no-cat home, she sees cats as something to chase.
Scout is another dog who needs a new home because she dislikes young children. We find this to be a very common reason. Often, senior dogs and young children don't mesh well. The sudden, unpredictable movements and sounds of young children can startle and stress an older dog. Scout's family states she is fine around older children. We would recommend 12 and over only. Our belief is that it is best to move a dog when they are in a situation where they are unhappy and stressed. In spite of her family working with a trainer extensively, Scout is not adapting to their crawling baby as she becomes more mobile. The hope is to find Scout a home where she can feel comfortable and enjoy her life amongst her adult family.
During the day, Scout is fine to stay home alone in her home. She enjoys the company of her dog buddy while the humans are away. Scout can manage quite a few hours between potty breaks. . When her family is home, she spends time in her fenced yard. Scout does bark when dogs walk by or when someone comes to the front door. She is a good alert dog.
Time for a daily walk is enjoyable for Scout. Her family reports she is good on leash but one should be able to manage her size and strength. Scout is a big, strong girl! She can manage stairs without issue at this point in her life. To help keep her healthy, her adopter should be willing and able to provide her with regular veterinary care and good-quality dog food.
Scout is described as having "a quirky personality". Out of happiness, she will tap and shake her head when you are home. She loves a good belly rub and will roll over to earn them. Scout will thrive in a home where she has time to enjoy the companionship of her people (who are her favorite!), perhaps another dog buddy, and time to retreat to her own bed and relax when she wants to. Scout is ready for her new home!
Scout is located in Seattle, WA. For contact information please email: [email protected]
This is not an Old Dog Haven dog. Old Dog Haven has not assessed this dog for medical issues and will not be responsible for medical care after adoption. We urge prospective adopters to do their own evaluation

COURTESY POST:
This is Lune. She is 4 years old. Luna is good with kids of all ages, other dogs but does not have experience with cats.
Luna is timid around crowds so she will need some help to come out of her shell.
I don't have any vet information so you will need to get that info from the person listed.
Luna currently lives in the Klamath Falls area.
