Edgar is a 5 month old Great Dane pup. His owners worked too many hours and he was left alone too much for a baby. He is working on housebreaking and growing fast. He is on the thin side so we will be worming him and fattening him up before adoption.
Puppies will be adopted out on a 'foster to adopt' basis. This means that if/when your application is approved, you sign a contract stating you are fostering the puppy until the time it is neutered/spayed at your expense. Once this is done, and you have shown us proof of spay/neuter, we will send you a contract that makes the puppy legally yours. If you haven't had your puppy altered by the age of 6 months, we will take possession of the puppy once again.
