About Wilson (Great Dane) in Bullard, TX 75757

Wilson is waiting for you at SRGDRR Inc aka Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab in Bullard, TX 75757. LOCATION: Minden, LouisianaDOB: 06/15/2020Wilson is a very sweet, sensitive boy who is still learning that the world can be a safe place. He can be extremely skittish at first and tends to be especially fearful of unfamiliar men, though he warms up to women much more quickly. Despite his fears, Wilson has made incredible progress in foster care and continues to gain confidence every day.At home, Wilson is a gentle, goofy companion who loves affection and attention from the people he trusts. One of his favorite things to do is bury his head in your lap for love and cuddles. He also has an adorable habit of collecting and hoarding toys around the house. While he has playful moments, he is generally a calm, chill dog who is happy relaxing at home with his family.Wilson is also an incredibly sensitive soul. If he is touched unexpectedly, he may let out a dramatic scream because he startles easily. It happens much less now than it used to, but it can still happen occasionally. His foster lovingly calls him “WooWoo Willy,” and it’s just one of the many quirks that make him so endearing.Wilson does well with other dogs and has lived peacefully with several large dogs. He is also wonderful with cats. However, bunnies are not recommended. He has lived with children ages 4, 5, and 9 and does love them, though young children can make him nervous at times. Older, calmer kids who understand how to respect his space would likely be the best fit.Wilson is house trained, crate trained, rides well in the car, and walks nicely on leash. He knows basic commands like “sit” and “crate.” Because his instinct is always to flee when frightened, he has no reliable recall and will require a securely fenced yard at all times.He can be vocal when people or vehicles approach the home, so he would not be a good fit for apartment living. He is also very fearful during nail trims and curre
