Story: Eric Dane was surrendered to us by his owner

Eric Dane is a gentle, affectionate boy who loves leaning against his people for pets and attention. He is potty trained and kennel trained, although he would much rather sleep near his family than squeeze into a kennel. He gets along well with both small and large dogs and absolutely loves children, often choosing to spend his time with them over adults. He has not been tested with cats.

Despite his large size, Eric is a nervous, somewhat awkward boy who is still building his confidence. When frightened, he can become unaware of his surroundings, so a home without small children is recommended. He is sensitive to yelling and needs a calm, patient family to help him feel secure. He also experiences some barrier reactivity, such as barking at strangers through a fence. Getting into tall vehicles can be intimidating for him, so he will need patience and encouragement with car rides. Eric is working on gaining weight and enjoys treats throughout the day.

Eric is a sweet, loving companion who will thrive with a family that understands his sensitive nature and gives him the time and reassurance he needs to feel comfortable. He is a big house pony who simply wants to be close to his people.
