Optimus is a loving 8-year-old male Great Dane whose favorite hobbies involve sprawling on a comfy couch and catching movies or sports with his humans. At 170 pounds, he’s a gentle giant who’s a bit on the heavier side, but he’s making steady progress with his new diet routine. Optimus would thrive with a family that enjoys short strolls rather than long hikes—arthritis has slowed him down some, and he’ll need to remain on arthritis medication and see the vet twice a year as he gets older. He’s a terrific introduction to the breed: mellow, easy-going, and always eager for affection. He gets along well with dogs, cats, and children, which makes him a flexible fit for many types of homes. Optimus is ready to become a beloved fixture in someone’s living room.
