Meet Bodie, a magnificent Great Dane with a heart as big as his size! 🐾 This gentle giant's journey hasn't been easy; he found himself wandering the streets of West Virginia, desperately searching for food and a safe place to rest his weary head. 😢 Luckily, fate intervened when he was rescued from a shelter facing overcrowding, just days before a grim fate loomed. Now in loving foster care in NJ, Bodie is ready to find his forever home! Bodie's story takes you on a whirlwind road trip! He’s traveled from New Jersey, accompanied by his foster family and two smaller furry siblings, and he took it all in stride. 🚗 While Bodie might prefer curling up on the couch next to his humans, he adaptively handles everything from leash walks in townhouses to expansive fenced backyards with utmost grace. Just imagine this charming fellow, with his head resting adorably on your shoulder, enjoying the ride like a true buddy. 🥰 At around four years old, Bodie’s playful spirit is blossoming. Initially stiff and sore, he now embodies the playful nature of a puppy! 🎉 Affectionate to the core, this lovable giant sees himself as a lap dog—yes, he believes he fits! If you’re a fan of cuddles, Bodie is your perfect match; he’ll lean into you, soaking up all that love. But be forewarned, if you enjoy your personal space, Bodie might just have to convince you that sharing the couch is the way to go! Having a Great Dane means adjusting your expectations—like a counter-surfing chef! With Bodie's towering frame, he believes if he can see the food, it’s fair game! 🍽️ But fret not; we're on top of things, wiping those counters for our gentle giant who is still learning the ropes of trusting that food will always be plentiful. Speaking of food, he takes his meals seriously—he enjoys three cups of food three times a day and shows no signs of food aggression. Treat time? No problem! He’s a gentle soul who shares beautifully with his furry housemates. After some pre-adoption check-ups, Bodie's hips have been cleared by the vet, and he is a well-rounded boy, ready to bring joy and companionship to a loving family. Keep in mind, he does have a tendency to drool a bit post-drink, so be ready with those paper towels! 🧼 Now on to the serious part: adopting Bodie means embracing his giant love! 💖 This gentle giant may not be suited for homes with tiny dogs—like his Havanese buddy, who feels a bit squished from time to time. So prospective adopters, please think about all members of your household, both two-legged and four! If you are ready to welcome a loyal companion who brings an abundance of love, laughter, and maybe a few head shakes into your life, Bodie is waiting for you!
