Hatch

Hatch is a kind, loving Great Dane mix with a soft soul and a big heart. Estimated to be around eight years old, he's come such a long way from where he started. When Hatch first arrived, he was in rough shape—malnourished and heartworm positive—but thanks to time, care, and a lot of love, he's now thriving with a shiny coat, a healthy appetite, and a sweet, grateful demeanor that shows every single day.

Hatch is calm, quiet, and wonderfully mild-mannered. He doesn't jump on people, barely ever barks (his foster has only heard it once in two and a half years!), and loves nothing more than cozying up with his person for a relaxing evening of TV on the couch. He lives for that time together and will gently nudge you for attention when he's ready to settle in for the night. He has a moderate energy level and enjoys little bursts of playful zoomies around the house when he's proud of himself—which is adorable to watch. Hatch does fine around other dogs and lived happily with a bonded partner until earlier this year. He's been around children and did well with visiting grandkids ages 7 and 12. He also gets along just fine with visiting dogs.

Ideal Home

Hatch is an easygoing dog overall, but like many seniors, Hatch is scared of thunderstorms and will seek comfort during loud weather. On stormy nights, he'll climb into bed for comfort and stay close until it passes. He does get excited when he sees a leash, though his foster parents are older and can't manage his strength on walks. A home with someone who can safely walk him or a fenced yard to explore would be ideal.

Ongoing Health

Hatch was heartworm positive upon arrival but has since been treated.

Training & Support

Hatch is mostly housetrained—he's had a few accidents in the past, but nothing recently. He hasn't been crated in his foster home and doesn't seem to need it.
