🌟 Meet Laverne, the enchanting pibald Great Dane whose heart and spirit are blossoming like a beautiful garden! 🌷 When she first arrived in rescue, this lovely lady was a bit shut down, unsure of the big, wide world around her. But oh, has she turned a corner! Watching her transformation from timid to trusting, and even a little goofy, has been a heartwarming journey for everyone involved. ❤️ Laverne is a serene soul who delights in the simple pleasures of life. She thrives on peaceful routines, whether it’s a calming walk, a relaxing car ride (her absolute fave!), or just chill time in the backyard. What really fills her heart with joy is being close to her human. She’s like a gentle shadow, following her foster from room to room, sweetly pawing for affection, and melting into snuggles like she’s been waiting a lifetime for that special moment. When dinner time rolls around or her favorite human comes home, watch out for her delightful little happy dance! 💃 Now, while Laverne is filled with love, she's also shown some signs of jealousy, especially when it comes to her beloved toys, food, and, yes, her favorite human. So, a calm, patient home will help her shine even brighter. She has cohabited peacefully with other large dogs, particularly respectful males who give her the space she needs. A home with a well-suited, gentle giant or even as an only dog would be a perfect fit! As for her opinions on cats? Well, that's still a mystery! 🐾 Laverne can occasionally walk like a lady on a leash, but she might need a little encouragement in new surroundings. She’s fully housetrained, crate trained, and isn’t destructive—a treat for any home! A slower pace is essential for her, especially when meeting new people. She’s a tad selective about men, but women? No problem at all. Calm, older teens or adults would be her ideal companions. A gentle touch and a soothing environment go a long way in making her feel safe and loved. 🤗 Now, let’s chat about Laverne's health journeys. This lovely lady has bravely overcome past medical hurdles, including surgery for bilateral cherry eye, which has cleared up beautifully. She does have a bit of arthritis in her hind ankle from an old injury, but daily joint supplements keep her hopping along just fine. Lastly, she has a mildly enlarged esophagus (not megaesophagus), which sometimes results in a few burps or rare vomiting. Nothing a little omeprazole can’t handle! 🐶❤️ Laverne has made remarkable progress, and with the right nurturing, she will continue to flourish. A devoted, patient adopter or couple who can dedicate quality time to her will find a deeply loyal companion in Laverne. With love, structure, and plenty of cuddles, this magnificent Great Dane will reward you with an ocean of affection and stunning Great Dane cuddles. 💖 If you want to bring this incredible girl into your life, remember to *apply through the Buddy App*! ✨ Laverne is waiting for the right family to embrace her beautiful spirit!
