About Mae

Mae is a striking 5.5-month-old Great Dane mix in Cincinnati, OH, brimming with classic puppy spirit. She weighs about 50 lbs already, so you’re getting all the fun and goofiness of a big-boned puppy who doesn’t quite realize her size. Mae’s world revolves around playtime—anything that squeaks or rolls is fair game, and she’ll happily comb the yard for sticks to add to her collection. With plenty of energy to spare, Mae will thrive in an active home with family members who can match her enthusiasm for outdoor adventures and long walks. Potty training is still a work in progress, but she’s coming along and does well when let out on a leash. Mae is crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night, which makes the transition into a new home easier. She gets along with her dog foster sisters and her human brother but is still mastering her spatial awareness; for this reason, she’s likely a better fit for homes with older children, adults, or dogs her own size. If you’re looking for an energetic companion ready to play fetch, run around, and bring some big dog cheer to your life, Mae fits the bill. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
