About Everest (Dogue allemand) in Bullard

Everest is waiting for you at SRGDRR Inc aka Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab in Bullard, TX 75757. LOCATION: Des Moines, WADOB: 09/19/2019Everest is a Great Dane–Pointer mix with a gentle soul and a lot of love to give. He’s a true attention seeker in the best way and will happily lean in or forget his size when asking for pets. He’s fully house trained and kennel trained, and his crate is his safe space—he sleeps there peacefully every night. Outside, he loves having room to move and will happily gallop around a fenced yard, nose to the ground and ears alert, putting his pointer instincts to good use while keeping an eye on the local squirrels.His energy level is moderate and well balanced.

He currently lives with a bull terrier mix, and their relationship is incredibly sweet. He does best with confident, calm, well-socialized dogs who can act as mentor types and help guide him. While he may thrive in a single-dog home, he could live with another compatible dog under the right circumstances. Small dogs, cats, and other small animals are not a good fit for him, as they trigger his prey drive.He’s done well with kids, particularly older children who are calmer and more predictable. Because he likes to paw for attention and doesn’t always realize how big he is, a home without babies or toddlers would be safest. With adults and strangers, Everest is generally unfazed—he’s neutral on walks and in the house, though he may bark at unfamiliar people passing by when he’s outside. He’s equally comfortable with men and women, with a slight preference for
