Prissy is an absolutely breathtaking brindle Great Dane whose gentle soul is every bit as beautiful as her stunning coat. At 3 years old, she is the true embodiment of the gentle giant—soft-hearted, affectionate, and wonderfully calm in every way.
This sweet girl is excellent with other dogs, CAT friendly, getting along easily and respectfully with canine and feline friends of all shapes and sizes. She is also adorable with children, moving around them with that magical Great Dane awareness and patience, offering snuggles, leaning in for love, and becoming an instant gentle companion.
Prissy’s owner cares deeply for her, but due to limited resources and Prissy’s ongoing care needs, they made the incredibly loving and responsible choice to surrender her. This girl comes from love, and it shows in her tender demeanor and her longing to be close to those who care for her.
Prissy does have a few manageable health needs: she has allergies and is currently on thyroid medication, both of which help keep her comfortable and thriving. She simply needs a foster who can continue her care, give her a stable routine, and provide the affection she craves.
But to help Prissy take her next steps toward a forever home, we urgently need a foster home who can welcome this remarkable girl.
Prissy’s Ideal Foster Home Would Offer: Room to stretch out — she’s a big, lovely girl who enjoys soft beds and comfy spaces. Friendly resident dogs who would enjoy a gentle, respectful companion. Kids who would adore having a calm, giant snuggle-buddy follow them around. Consistency with her thyroid meds and willingness to support her allergy management. Kindness, patience, and a loving routine — which is all Prissy has ever wanted.
Prissy is the kind of dog who quietly leans her head into your chest for comfort, who pads gently through the house like a giant, loving shadow, and who brings a peaceful, grounding presence everywhere she goes.
She is not demanding. She is not high-energy. She is simply a gentle soul longing for a safe, caring place to land.
If you have room in your home and heart to host a giant who gives back tenfold in love, Prissy is waiting for you.
Please consider stepping up to foster this extraordinary girl so she can finally get the care and comfort she deserves.
