Meet Cherry! She is a stunning blue gray Great Dane. Cherry is 100 lbs of pure sweetness. The love this girl has to give is unmatched. She wants nothing more than to be your best friend and companion. Cherry is about a year and a half old. Loves everyone she meets, adults, kids and dogs. She is such a silly, goofy, playful girl that just loves all that life has to give her. Due to her size and exuberant personality, she would do best in a home with older children. Cherry came to us after being found wandering the streets. She wasn’t microchipped and no one came to claim her. There was a team of people pushing to find a rescue to take her in and after spending a month being boarded, her time was up due to city funding. That’s where we came in! Through the power of social media and networking, we were made aware of Cherry needing help so that she wouldn’t be put to sleep. No doubt the fact that she had cherry eye (thus her name) in both eyes, and being a big dog, it was a deterrent to a lot of rescues. Since bringing her into our rescue, she’s had surgery to correct the cherry eye and has been spayed. More than likely she will always have that droopy eye look but it’s really just cosmetic at this point. Now she just needs a home of her own! Cherry is young, energetic and will benefit from some basic training. Her new family will need to be understanding and willing to work with her to become the best version of herself. You will be rewarded tenfold as she is incredibly sweet. Cherry travels well in an SUV, is housebroken and crate trained. Local adoptions only. We do not adopt out of the state of Illinois. Cherry is being fostered in a private home. Appointments to meet her will be set up for approved adopters only. Her adoption fee is $500 which includes all age appropriate vaccines. She is spayed, microchipped and Heartworm negative. She has also been kept on both flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
