Gentle giant wants to trade his king-size heart, for a king-size bed.
Hi. I’m Dupie.
You might’ve seen me before — I was the big softie cuddling a rescued puppy named Max. Yep, that was me. The oversized teddy bear with paws too big and a heart even bigger.
I’m a 4-year-old Great Dane x Lab cross. Basically: a majestic cuddle machine with a sliiiiiiight bed-stealing problem (we’ll talk about that later).
I used to have a home… a real one. With people who loved me. A king-size bed (don’t judge), and snuggles every night. But then… life hit my family hard. They lost their jobs. And I lost everything. My humans, my bed, my safe place.
I came to Huistoe. They were kind. But I was broken. Scared. I didn’t want to eat. I just wanted to disappear into my own shadow.
I met Marius.
This guy? Heart of gold. He stayed at Huistoe and saw me — not just the big, sad dog in the corner. He opened his heart… and ofcourse his bed. (My specialty.) Slowly, I came back to life. Tail wag. Big eyes. BIGGER cuddles. I remembered who I once was.
I was up for adoption, however I didn't push it, because Marius was my hero in the mean time. But Marius recently had to leave for a job opportunity. And I’m back to being without a person. Without a bed and cuddle buddy... again...
I try to stay hopeful. I’m trying real hard.
So here I am… asking:
Can I steal your heart? (And maybe your duvet?)
💛 I’m gentle. Like, really gentle.
💛 I love kids — I’ll babysit your toddlers and lick their yoghurt spoons clean.
💛 I’m good with other dogs – big and small.
💛 Cats? Perfectly fine by me. I respect their sass.
I don’t want much. Just someone to love. A home. A couch. (Okay… maybe a whole bed. But we can negotiate.)
Please give me a forever.
Because this big soft heart of mine? It’s all yours, if you’ll have it.
Lots of love,
A king-size dog, with a king-size heart, wishing on a king-size bed,
Dupie
