vader

Vader is currently on a brief medical hold pending upcoming dental surgery. We are continuing to accept applications for him and he will be ready for his new home in a few short weeks!

Vader is a six-year-old gentleman with a calm spirit and movie-star good looks. He came into rescue after being surrendered when his previous owner was away from home too often to give him the time and care he deserved. Despite the changes in his life, Vader’s heart remains wide open. This soulful boy can’t wait to find his forever home.

Vader is friendly, playful, and eager to meet new canine friends. He’s learned to respect limits set by his foster dog siblings and knows when enough play is enough. Like most Danes, Vader has no concept of his size. He embraces the world and meets new people with all the spatial awareness of a moose trying to sneak in to share your recliner. 😉

Vader is affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he’s with his people. He does experience some anxiety when left alone, which is understandable after spending long, lonely days waiting for his original family to return. This boy loves so completely that even short separations from his humans can be difficult. While he can be left to free roam while his humans are gone, Vader’s perfect life includes people that are home most of the time in an environment where he is free to be as near as his heart desires. If he can see or hear you, he wants nothing more than to be close enough to show you all the love in his heart, even if that means simply laying at (or even on!) your feet. Vader is a smart cookie - he knows how to open sliders and turn doorknobs to get them opened. He’s even accidentally locked a door or two trying to open it up. He rides beautifully in the car and knows his basic commands. He’s a strong boy that is still polishing up his leash manners. He has never been crated and isn’t particularly interested in starting now — he much prefers lounging near his humans.

Vader is truly a gem — the perfect blend of maturity and lovable goofiness. He is ready to give his whole heart to a family who can give him the time, stability, and love he’s been waiting for.
