Meet Nemo, a magnificent Great Dane with a heart as big as his stature! 🐾 This gentle giant, born on February 11, 2019, is around 7 years young and currently finding himself content in a cozy foster home in Pflugerville, TX. If you’re nearby and think you can give Nemo the love he deserves, keep reading! Nemo is the epitome of a couch potato—he lives for lazy afternoons filled with long naps and occasional strolls around the backyard. 💤 While he enjoys a leisurely walk, his real joy comes from cuddling up next to his human. Imagine a big ol’ bear gently resting his head on your bed, just asking for permission to hop up and join you! If invited, he’ll snuggle right next to you—or, if he's feeling cheeky, give you that Great Dane embrace right on top! This lovable lad is currently fostering with two Australian Cattle Dogs and shows he’s a great companion for other dogs. 🐕 He delights in playful but gentle interactions and knows how to keep it fun yet mellow! Nemo is also house trained, walks nicely on a leash, rides splendidly in the car, and knows how to ‘sit’ like a pro. While he is crate trained, he needs a little gentle encouragement to enter, so don’t forget those treats! (Just maybe not too many!) But let’s talk about Nemo’s personality! He does have some quirks, bless his heart. He’s a bit skittish and isn’t fond of strangers—he’s got some ‘stranger danger’ vibes going on. When feeling threatened, he has shown defensive aggression, so he needs an experienced adopter who understands dog behavior and can handle him with the care he deserves. Once this gentle giant trusts you (and it won’t take long with patience and positive vibes!), he’ll be your loyal and affectionate sidekick inching his way into your heart. ❤️ While he’s yet to meet children up close, he’d thrive best in a home with older, respectful kids (12+) who can honor his space. Little ones and frequent visitors might not be the best fit; after all, a little space helps him feel secure! And when it comes to cats, there’s a chance he could chill with a dog-savvy one after some careful introductions. 😺 On the medical side, Nemo is currently getting treated for heartworms and is healing from a significant hip injury that required surgery—though you wouldn’t know it to see him wagging his tail! 🐶 He’s such a trooper! Just a little forewarning: as a Great Dane, he’s more than a little slobbery, so a love for dribbles is a must. After all, love can be messy! 😂 Nemo’s ideal home is calm, structured, and filled with love. He thrives on routine and has minimal exposure to lots of new faces. A nice yard would be perfect for him, but a cozy apartment can work—let's make it something comfy and safe! For the right person, Nemo promises to be a loyal friend who loves long walks, leisurely naps, and is ever-so-happy just to be close to you. So, if you resonate with Nemo’s story and think you can be his forever companion, don’t wait! *Apply through the Buddy App* today to start a beautiful journey of companionship with this thoughtful soul!
