Alto is a 5 year old male, hound/Great Dane mix. We have Alto weighing in at 100 pounds!
Alto is looking for a home because life happened … his dad died.
Despite his size, Alto is pretty active so we think a fenced in yard and someone who likes to walk would be perfect for this boy. Alto LOVES to exercise – so if you like to hike, Alto would love to be your partner!
Alto is fine with other dogs and would be better with older kids (due to his size). He has been exposed to children as young as 5 years old and did well. If he is uncomfortable, he will get up and walk away. Alto also knows the command “place”; so if you are having guests and he gets overly excited, you can direct him to his bed known as his ”place”.
He is extremely affectionate and has a tendency to lean into you for petting. He has a booming bark (probably the hound in him) and will let you know if someone is in the yard or a car pulls up. Alto has wonderful house manners.
