Danny′s Story

Hey hey Danny boy here! Hope you are having a fantastic day! A little bit about me; I was abandoned by my previous owner in the middle of nowhere, scared and without any clue as to how to survive. I was walking for days trying to find my way home and ended up in a highway as you hoomans call it. All those cars flying by me got me terrified and I ended up hiding in the bushes. I was hungry, scared and lost. Up until the day, a lady in orange came up to me and offered me some tasty treats. I couldn’t resist but at the same time I felt relieved as soon as she put the collar around my head and asked me if I wanted to go with her to the centre, she said. I felt a warmth in my heart which I haven’t felt for a long time. I knew I could trust her! And I was right! I am now at 2ndchancedogs centre, everyone loves me and calls me Danny boy! Volunteers come to play with me (I get cheeky with the treats sometimes, ask them!!). I am ready to go to a home with a family!

Character & Temperament

I love to play with toys, especially balls and things I can tug. I love it when my carers give me attention and especially I just love to lie on my back and get belly rubs all day. I am a heavy dog for my height and sometimes I don’t realize that.. My trainer is a nice guy that keeps giving me yummy treats when I do things he likes. I have learnt to sit and go down... It’s a lot of fun at the center but I really would love a home... I am good with all humans even though some feel intimidated by my heavy look. I am actually all mushy inside...

I don’t mind sharing my food and love to have company as I love humans. After all, a human is a dog’s best friend...

Ideal Home for Danny

I would love a home that would take care of me and spend some time to train with me. As I said I am a heavy boy so a home with older children over 14 years old its better for me. A nice yard would be nice but not picky if I could get regular walks. An experienced home that have had big doggies like me would be a preference. Probably a home with no other dogs or at least no other small dogs.

Most importantly is a home that would love me because I have lots of love to give back. I warn you I am very loyal boy!

Trainers Evaluation

Danny is a big bundle of fun, a heavy dog with a big heart, he is uncertain with other dogs however shows no reactivity to other dogs.

He knows basic cues but needs some work on a lead which is easy to teach. He loves human companionship and has shown no fear of strangers or other dogs.

In general he is a confident dog, needs to learn to play with other similar sized dogs. Must go to a home that is willing to put some time into training with Danny, preferably a home with large children over 15 years of age.

He has never shown any aggressive behaviour towards any human or other dogs.
