About Agnes
  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Current Age: 9 Years 7 Months (best estimate)

 

Brief description:  Agnes is a 3 year old female Great Dane that was rescued from a puppy mill. She is a very sweet girl with lots of love to give. She is house and crate trained and sleeps through the night with no issue. She is not  destructive  in the home or outside. She will be spayed and vetted shortly. Once that is  completed  she will be ready to find her forever family!  

Likes:  Dog beds, attention, walks and car rides.

Dislikes:  Agnes doesn't seem to fond of traffic noise. She barks when she hears the semi trucks brakes on the highway.

Personality:  Agnes is a laid back girl. She is playful when toys are  involved  and will romp around to play with them but she's pretty  content  lounging around enjoying her days napping and getting  attention .  

Temperament: Agnes lets us handle her with no issues. She hasn't learned about treats in her previous life so meds can be challenging while we figure out her favorite healthy snacks. She has no issues with taking bathes or getting her ears cleaned.  

Energy level: Agnes would be happy being a couch potato with leisurely walks during the day.

Favorite activities: Agnes likes to play fetch but has not mastered bringing it back yet. She likes to lounge around on dog beds and loves car rides. 

Good with cats, dogs, and kids over 6?:  Good with dogs, cats and kids over the age of 6.

Not good with: N/A

Housetrained:  Yes

Crate trained:  Yes

Challenges: None seen. 

Any Medical issues?  Agnes is overweight. She needs to be put on a strict diet to drop some pounds. Continuing at her current weight is not good for her body. She will face challenges later in life if she doesn't lose some of the excess weight.

What would be the best kind of home? Agnes would be happy about anywhere. She really enjoys people and is your typical happy go lucky Great Dane. She needs a home in a more rural area as she tends to be a barker outside. 

Fostered in Marysville, OH.
