About Effie

Effie is a striking, 9-month-old Great Dane with a beautiful white and gray coat. Rescued from abandonment, she has made significant progress and is ready to find a loving home. This sweet and playful girl thrives on companionship and enjoys being close to her people. As a special needs pup, Effie is deaf and is learning sign language, requiring an owner dedicated to her training and patience due to past trauma. She can be a bit skittish during sudden movements but responds well to calm and reassuring guidance. Effie is doing well with her potty training, showing signs when she needs to go outside, though occasional accidents still happen. She needs a secure, fenced-in yard to play in, as she has a lot of energy and loves to run. Effie does well on a leash and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making her a great companion for a fellow canine. However, she should not share her home with cats or small animals due to her prey drive. Spayed and up to date on vaccinations, Effie is healthy and eager to find a family that will provide her the love and security she deserves. This fantastic girl is waiting for the right person to help her flourish. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
