Raid Great Dane & German Shepherd Dog Mix Bethesda, MD

Hi there! I'm Raid! I'm a 2-year-old handsome fella, and I'm a Great Dane and German Shepherd mix. Yep, I'm big like, extra-large big at a solid 109 pounds! But don't let my size fool you. I'm a big ol' softie at heart, with a lot of love to give. I've got a gorgeous gray/black merle coat that turns heads wherever I go. I'm kind of a showstopper, if you ask me!

I ended up here because my previous owner had to make some tough decisions due to life changes, and unfortunately, that meant I needed a new home. I'm originally from South Carolina, where I spent my first couple of years getting the hang of life. I'm all caught up on my health stuff I'm heartworm negative, I'm already neutered, and I've had my recent rabies
vaccination.

I'm still a young pup, so I've got plenty of energy to enjoy walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions.I might be big, but I've got a sweet and gentle demeanor that makes me the perfect companion for a family who can handle my size (and my big heart). I'm also a big goofball, and I absolutely love playing with other dogsmale or female. I'm the life of the playgroup, and I'll happily join in on any game. I don't quite realize just how big I am, though. I think I'm 20 pounds! So when I'm playing with other dogs or toys, I can get a little goofy and clumsy (but that's just part of my charm!).

Some of the volunteers who walk me tell me I'm their favorite because I'm just so goofy. I'm a sweet boy who loves people, including kids, and I get along great with everyone I meet. I'm definitely a people dog and just want to be with you, whether it's playing, walking, or just hanging out. Now when it comes to cats....things don't always go so well. I think they're just like the other dogs, so I try to play with them, but they don't seem to like it much (oops!). No aggressive tendencies, thoughI just want to play!

I'm looking for a home where I can stretch my long legs, get lots of attention, and become a part of a new family who'll love me as much as I'll love them. So, if you're looking for a loving, goofy, and good-natured buddy who's always ready to stand by your side, then I'm your guy. I promise I'll fill your life with joy, and you'll get lots of sloppy, big-dog hugs.

Come meet me I'm waiting for my forever home!
