This 104-Pound Great Dane Leans in for Love—Alice Is Ready to Be Your Gentle Giant

Alice is a sweet, affectionate 8-year-old Great Dane mix with the heart of a puppy and the soul of a best friend. She adjusted quickly to her foster home and has proven to be house-trained, crate-trained, and incredibly loyal. True to her breed, she’s a leaner—happiest when she’s snuggling against you or half-lounging in your lap (yes, all 104 pounds of her!). She prefers not to be crated for long hours and can be vocal when left alone, so she’s looking for a home without shared walls.

Why She’s the Ultimate Couch Cuddler

• 🐶 Loves to snooze the day away next to her people
• 💕 Affectionate and loyal—especially adores women
• 🦴 Enjoys short walks and soft squeaky toys
• 🐾 Gets along with other dogs (though can react on leash to smaller ones)
• 🏡 Settled easily into foster home and loves her routine
• 🚽 House-trained and happy to go into her crate when asked

What She’s Looking For

• ✔️ A home with no shared walls (no apartments or townhomes)
• ✔️ Adopters who are around often and won’t crate her for long
• ✔️ A cat-free home
• ✔️ A calm, loving environment where she can enjoy her golden years
• ✔️ Someone ready to share their couch—and heart—with a true gentle giant

Alice might be 8, but don’t let that fool you—she still has so much love to give. Her soft eyes, slow tail wags, and constant cuddles are a reminder that some of the best companions come with a few gray hairs.
