​Frederick Lamar

8 year old

Great Dane

Male

Meet Frederick Lamar, the legend himself!

​

At around 8 years old and a whopping 197 pounds, this Great Dane is not just a dog, he is an experience! Frederick came to us from the SPCA after being abandoned, but he has not let that chapter define him. He has been living the good life in foster care, healing from a skin infection, slimming down a few pounds, and proving what a resilient, wonderful dog he truly is.

Frederick is the definition of a gentle giant, although he will happily remind you that he still takes up an entire sofa. Like many seniors his size, he has some mild arthritis and a few age-related lumps, but his bloodwork and X-rays look good and he is otherwise healthy for a Dane his age. Families considering him should expect that he may need ongoing support and management from his new owners to keep him comfortable as he grows older.

​

What does Frederick need?

* A home with Dane or giant breed experience

* If there are other dogs, they should be medium-sized, laid-back, and tolerant of his sometimes pushy personality

* No small dogs or cats (he has made it clear that feline friendships are not on his to-do list)

* A family with kids over 8 who are dog-savvy and understand that living with a dog this size is a little like living with a horse that thinks he is a lap dog

What does Frederick love?

* Car rides

* Soft sofas

* Hanging out with his people

* Chewing on a toy while you tell him how handsome he is

Frederick Lamar is a once-in-a-lifetime dog, and he deserves a once-in-a-lifetime home. If you have the couch space, the heart, and the experience to give this giant sweetheart the retirement he deserves, he is ready to be your loyal shadow and oversized best friend!

​

He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on his vaccinations, heart worm negative, and has been started on monthly preventatives.
