With their average life expectancy between 8-10 yrs, our beloved Great Danes do not live as long as other breeds of dogs. More often than not, the ones that come to our rescue are considered Senior Dogs.
Seniors often get overlooked at adoptions because they are presumed to already have a significant amount of health or behavioral issues. While there can be instances of this, the truth is, senior dogs have plenty to offer families.
For instance, they may already be potty trained or know basic commands. They may also already have been socialized and have their temperament established.
