Adopt Mayo a Merle Great Dane / Mixed Breed (Medium) / Mixed (short coat) dog in

Location:

Durango, CO

Description:

Mayo stands tall among other dogs here at the shelter. All heads turn when he strolls confidently into the kennel. He spends his time sniffing and exploring the play yard. He prefers the company of his humans more than other dogs, though he tolerates puppies like the cool uncle! Mayo would appreciate a calmer home with lots of walks or room to roam. He's an independent boy who is looking for a human to love him as much as he will love them! The entire staff loves Mayo and he's our go-to guy for adventures b/c he's so chill and easy-going.From his foster buddy: We had another successful adventure with Mayo on Saturday. He was going to modelat the fun and interesting Durango Art Center drawing class for a couple of hours. Mayo wanted some fresh air first and we went up and down Main. Lots to see, and many dogs roaming around, not a dull moment for Mayo. Confident and obedient, he stayed by my side, curious but always well-mannered and super cool. Once at the Art class, we took our position. Mayo was the perfect model. He was patient and worked with the audience for a couple of hours. There was another pup at the same session. Mayo engaged with Liam (a pretty active 5-month-old) but let him do his thing. It was actually very funny to see such opposite behaviors, with Liam, goofing off next to regal Mayo. Mayo got lots of praise for his perfect conduct and enjoyed the attention and compliments. He even raised some good money for the Humane Society. Another great day with Mayo. Ready as usual for some attention, he got it. This pup is so amazingly low key. He demonstrated once again his good nature throughout the whole day. No anxiety, no fear, no weird behavior! Mayo was as relaxed as could be...and quiet. And that was despite the noise we experienced at home while 2 young guys were going back and forth in the house working on a project for a couple of hours. First off, Mayo greeted the 2 workers, happy to be petted and complimented. When the drilling and the banging started, he kept his calm. He was never phased by the noise, he never budged. He just checked on the work now and then. Remarkable trust in humans!Mayo loves food. I did have to watch what I left on the kitchen counter at all times. He did not beg at the table while we ate though. He otherwise gave me his paw, sitted, when he accepted a treat gently. And he thanks Humane for the lovely peanut butter kong!I was however perplexed when Mayo did not follow me up to the 2nd floor or down to the basement. I take it the enclosed staircase felt creepy. He was well-mannered in the house. He waited, sitting for his food. He used his dog bed and blanket for his quiet time and relaxation. He enjoyed his two walks and did his business then. He took a couple of naps, one on my lap. He was very affectionate. and engaging. Back and forth to the shelter, Chill Mayo enjoyed the car ride, laying down.
