Obi

Obi, short for Oberon, is about 6-7 months old, solid black, except for a tiny speck of white on his chest, purebred Great Dane. He's crate trained and partially/mostly housetrained. I've had him at a public adoption event and he was good with people, children, and other dogs. We met a dog-savvy cat and he just sat down and ignored it. If a cat runs, results may vary.

Because he's a big dog, it's easy to forget that he's still a puppy and still has a lot of learn, but he's food-motivated and very trainable. When he encounters something that confuses him or something unfamiliar, his go-to move seems to be to sit and await further instruction. That's what he did with the cat and that's what he does when he doesn't understand what you want. I don't want to oversell him as a fully trained dog, but for a 6-7 month old puppy, he's come a long way.

He likes big balls and chew toys. He has made no attempt to climb or jump the fence and when he is out, he wants to be with a person or the other dogs. Obi will be neutered and fully vetted prior to adoption. He is available through Green Dogs Unleashed.
