About Sparrow (Dogue allemand) in Bullard

Sparrow is waiting for you at SRGDRR Inc aka Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab in Bullard, TX 75757. LOCATION: Terrell, TXDOB: 10/22/2021Sparrow is a Great Dane–hound mix who takes the idea of togetherness very seriously. She is a full-on Velcro dog who wants to be involved in whatever you’re doing, even if that’s absolutely nothing. She loves people, never meets a stranger, and calmly allows grooming and veterinary exams without a fuss. Being close to her humans is clearly where she feels safest and happiest.Her energy level is refreshingly flexible. A fenced backyard is plenty for her daily needs, and while she’s happy to go on a walk, one outing usually checks the box for the day.

She’s still learning how to enjoy toys and games—after spending so much time being a full-time mom, she’s now figuring out how to just be a dog.She is fully house trained and does well in the car. Crate training is a work in progress; she’s comfortable in a pen but hasn’t spent time in a kennel yet. Leash manners are improving, and she generally walks well. Sparrow is muzzle trained and currently working on dog reactivity with structured socialization. She has been selective with other dogs and should be an only dog in the home, or placed with someone experienced and committed to continuing her training. She should not live with cats.Sparrow is frightened by storms and loud noises, including rain, and may jump or bark when scared. She has met dog-savvy 10-year-old children and did great, and she could do well with younger kids in a home that understands big dogs. One sma
