Hatch

LOCATION: Heath, TexasDOB: 11/26/2014 (Estimate)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.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. 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.He’s 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.Hatch doesn’t ask for much—just a home filled with love, soft places to rest, and someone who enjoys a good cuddle session on the couch. He gives so much back in return. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will be endlessly grateful for your love and care, Hatch is ready to fill that spot in your heart—and on your sofa.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!
