Split is a breathtaking Blue Merle and White Great Dane, around 1 year old and weighing in at 100 pounds. He came from a Louisiana breeder alongside his buddy, Bean, and is currently in a Texas rescue awaiting his ride to Minnesota. This big boy is in need of a foster or forever home—someone who understands giant breeds and is ready to help him become the best version of himself!
Like Bean, Split has had no formal training and will need an adopter willing to work on his manners. He’s still learning the ropes when it comes to leash walking and basic obedience, and he has a habit of helping himself to food left within reach. He also has absolutely no concept of personal space—if you sit down, expect him in your lap, leaning against you, or sprawled at your feet like he weighs nothing. And if you take him for a walk? His head will be right in your face, making sure you know he’s there every step of the way! Despite his lack of training, Split is a social, fun-loving dog who enjoys playing with other pups and staying active. He’ll thrive in a home with structure, patience, and plenty of love.
Split is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered—ready to start his new life! If you have Great Dane experience and are willing to invest time in training, Split will be a loyal and loving (and very clingy!) companion. Are you the special person who can give this goofy, affectionate giant the forever home he deserves?
