Rosabella Great Dane Mix Nashville, TN

Meet Rosabella! Despite the racoon eyes, she was not up all night partying, and she did not get sucker-punched. But her unique markings are sure to make her stand out in a crowd!

This tall, lanky lady is looking to be your one and only! While she loves people, she's not too keen on other dogs and does not like sharing, so she'd prefer to be the only dog in your home. She is a playful, affectionate girl, and would like you to dote on her and her only. She has a bit of energy and would love a more active home -- some hiking, long walks, and a fenced yard for games of fetch sound ideal. No cats or small creatures, as they are too fun to chase.

Rosabella is estimated to be between 1 - 2 years old, so she needs to work on her manners and her leash walking skills. She is a suspected Great Dane mix, so a breed experienced home is preferred.

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
