Meet Neo, a striking nine-month-old Merle Great Dane who is just starting to discover how wonderful the world can be. At 71 pounds, he’s still growing into those long legs and his even bigger heart. Neo had a bit of an uncertain start to life, which has left him feeling a little shy and skittish when meeting new people. However, underneath that initial hesitation is a sweet, goofy boy who desperately wants to connect. Once he feels safe, his true personality shines through, proving that the best things in life are worth the wait. Neo is a gentle soul who thrives in the company of other dogs; he is currently learning the ropes from his foster siblings and would love a confident canine brother or sister to show him the way. He is wonderful with children and is already a pro at house rules, boasting both crate and house training. Because he is still learning to navigate his fears, he’ll blossom best with a patient family who understands that building trust is a journey, not a race. This handsome boy is looking for a calm environment where he can decompress and finally feel secure. If you have a soft spot for the "underdog" and the patience to watch a timid puppy transform into a brave companion, Neo might be your perfect match.
