Hear hear, let me tell you about Mr. Wellington III:
Meet Rufus Charles Wellington III, a seven month old great Dane mix! You will fall in love with his goofy, playful side and one ear up facial expressions! He's easily motivated by treats to be the best boy! He was found in south San Antonio wandering the streets and got into the car with strangers over a pop tart!
His lack of stranger danger allowed him to be instant best friends with his 4 year old foster non-furry boy and other foster furry friends! Not cat tested.
He's great in a kennel and potty trained! We are working on sit!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
