    Urgent: Great Dane Needs A Home By Noon Today!!

    Hey everyone this is Heidi. One of my friends welcomed a wonderful fawn male dane into her family a few months ago. He came from a shelter and has a bit of a food agression problem (hoarding food, growling a bit). Well she has kids and doesn't want to take the chance of him biting one of her kids if this problem gets out of hand. She is taking him to the pound at noon today. She called and asked me if I could find him a home. His name is Whopper and he is approx 2 years old. He is a fawn male dane. Can anyone help me out? I would take him myself, but I already have four and can handle another with my aggressive female.
    Here is a picture of him

    She adopted him a few months ago and all of a sudden he needs a home in a few hours. Of course... why not.

    Has she contacted rescues yet?
    Here's a rescue in Ohio

    It's 2:30. Is it too late? I probably would have a rescue to take him...

    I would have helped if the woman would have had him neutered.

    I agree - and food aggression is one of those behaviors that can be worked on very effectively given a little time IMHO. I wouldn't want anyone to put their children at risk, obviously, but had she contacted a rescue group before now, perhaps he could have been helped. Poor boy doesn't have much of a chance to get out of a shelter alive now.

    So sad.

    Wow... how sad. =,( Can she not keep him seperated from her kids, until she finds a rescue? He looks like a brindle Dane to me.

    How do you know he isn't neutered, Mugsy? It seems like... if he came from a shelter... that would be expected.
