About Danny

Danny lost his home when his previous owner gave him up, and since then, the shelter environment has not suited him. He spent time in a prison training program, where handlers discovered he doesn't get along well with dominant large male dogs but does fine with female dogs and smaller males. Around people, Danny shows his good nature and charm. A recent visit from a professional trainer highlighted Danny as the best dog at the shelter, praising his potential. He's a high-energy Pointer who needs plenty of exercise—give him that, and he'll settle in as a loyal companion. Danny is ready to find a caring home that can give him the activity and affection he craves. While he loves people, he needs to be the only dog or live with easygoing females or small males. Danny is not suited for homes with cats. All of his vet work is up to date, and he's neutered. Transport can be arranged to get him to the right adopter. Start your journey together! Apply now.
