Ronan

04/09/2026 Ronan is waiting for his forever family, he is so ready to go home. Ronan is very polite with other dogs he meets but in his home, he is pushy about getting all the attention, but responds well when told to back off and wait his turn. He’s got typical young male dog energy but isn’t too hyper. He’s very athletic and can clear a 36″ gate inside the home and will counter surf he’s left unattended. Once he bonds to his family, he will not go over a fence to leave his yard but he should never be left unattended outside. He’s not great in the crate – he will go in and be ok fbut eventually starts whining and pawing at his bed (but is not destructive/chew, just paws at the corners of the crate). He wants to be with his person and does better if the crate is located where that is the case. Once he settles in and learns his place in the home, he will only need the crate when no one is home. He LOVES his person and doesn’t want to be away from them. He’s a follow you from room to room Velcro boy.

Ronan has never shown any resource guarding of food or toys. He doesn’t love nail trimmings but hasn’t tried to nip or bite when getting them sone. He hates baths and even wiping him down he will run away. But his fur is so short, he doesn’t really need much grooming. His leash walking is better on the gentle leader as he still pulls to explore things on a regular collar. He’s good at staying close and very good with sit, down, wait, come and will wait before eating and at the door until released. He loves to go out and be about with others and has done well at events with lots of people and other dogs. He is slow at first to warm up to strangers but once you let him come to you, he will lean in for pets and be your best friend. Ronan is a beautiful boy with a lot of love to give, he needs a leader and with that will be a wonderful companion. Please consider Ronan, he is waiting for you!

11/2025 Ronan is a very tall, slender handsome black male Dane with natural ears who came to MAGDRL from a home with too many Danes. Ronan was not socialized but has made great improvements in his foster homes since coming in to MAGDRL. Ronan was adopted but was returned. He is not for a home with very small children. In addition, Ronan bonds and attaches quickly and fiercely, and exemplifies the term “velcro Dane”. He needs a little bit of time to warm up to some men but give him time and he will happily come to you for pets and snuggles. Ronan walks well on a leash, is good in the car, is crate and housetrained. He does great at dog parks and social events. Ronan will be pushy for your attention, he needs structure and boundaries and an adopter who knows how to be the pack leader. If you fit the bill, Ronan is the guy for you and will be a fantastic companion. He is currently in a home with two male large dogs and they play and get along well.
