Moo

Meet Moo, a 15-week-old Great Dane/Lab mix (best guess!) with adorable cow-like spots, extra-long legs, and an even bigger heart. At 29 pounds already, this handsome pup is expected to grow into an extra-large adult, and he is looking for a patient family to help him blossom into the amazing dog he is meant to be.Moo is a gentle, affectionate boy who forms strong bonds with the people he loves. Once he gets to know you, he becomes a total cuddle bug who wants nothing more than to be close by. He is wonderfully goofy, a little awkward as he grows into those long legs, and guaranteed to make you smile with his silly antics. He is determined to get onto the bed for snuggles, loves rolling in the grass, and sleeps in the cutest positions imaginable.This smart puppy is already learning quickly. He knows "sit" and "down," is very food motivated, and is making great progress with potty training. He is also learning that his crate is a safe place and continues to improve with a consistent routine.Moo loves playing with other dogs and enjoys squeaky toys, puppy chews, and chasing a flirt pole. While another dog is not required, he would likely enjoy having a confident canine companion to help show him that new experiences are fun. He has also been respectful and curious with the resident cat in his foster home and could likely live successfully with cats after slow introductions.Moo is still building confidence with new people and unfamiliar situations, so he is looking for a family that will continue helping him discover that the world is a safe and exciting place. Positive training, socialization, and patience will go a long way with this eager young pup. He is vocal and loves being close to his people, so he would be happiest with someone home often or with a canine companion to keep him company, especially during his first year as he gains confidence. Because he can be vocal, Moo is not a good fit for homes with shared walls. Because he is expected to become a very large dog and is still in his playful puppy stage, he is looking for a home with children who are at least 13 years old.With his sweet nature, loyal heart, and eagerness to learn, Moo has everything it takes to become an incredible lifelong companion. If you're ready to help this lovable boy continue growing in confidence while sharing plenty of cuddles along the way, Moo is ready to meet you.If you are interested in Moo, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
