Available for Adoption: 11/14/26- Applications need to be approved before a meet and greet will be set up for any Fetching Hearts Rescue dogs.Meet Randy: From Surviving to Thriving When Randy was found in Mississippi, he was skin and bones and in heartbreaking condition. The volunteer who found him honestly wasn’t sure he was going to make it.But Randy had people in his corner who refused to give up on him. With lots of care, good food, patience, and love, Randy began his journey back to health. When Fetching Hearts Rescue learned about this sweet boy, we knew we wanted to be part of his story.And just look at him now! Randy is looking fantastic! He is still working on gaining some weight, but he has already come such a long way. Now it’s time for the next chapter of his journey: finding the forever family who will show him just how wonderful life can be.Randy does have a shy side, and honestly, who can blame him? He hasn’t had the easiest start in life. He needs a family, couple, or special person who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let Randy come out of his shell at his own pace.Once he begins to feel safe, you’ll start seeing the sweet boy hiding underneath. Randy enjoys going for car rides with his people.He would love a fenced-in yard where he can safely play, explore, and enjoy just being a dog.He would benefit from continuing his training with his new family, helping him build confidence while strengthening that special bond.Most importantly, he needs patience, consistency, kindness, and LOTS of love.Randy has spent enough of his life simply trying to survive. Now we want him to LIVE.We want him to know what it feels like to have a warm bed, a full belly, fun adventures, someone who believes in him, and a family who will never give up on him.This beautiful boy has already shown us what a fighter he is. With the right person by his side, we know Randy has so much potential to blossom into an incredible companion.Randy survived his past. Now let’s find him the family who will give him the future he deserves.Could that be you?

Hey there, I'm Lucy! 🐾 I'm a striking grey Great Dane who's just 1 year old and already spayed and housetrained — basically a dream start for a growing girl like me. I'm adventurous, friendly, and smart, and I genuinely love other dogs and kids, which means I'll be a fantastic addition to an active family. At my size, I'm still figuring out just how big I'm going to be, but what I know for sure is that I'm ready to be your loyal companion on whatever adventures come next. 💙 Come meet me and let's start our story together!

Story
MACARONI IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!    Macaroni is a Great Dane that wants to lounge on the couch with his person. He is 7 years old and weighs 140 pounds.  He is house broken. He is always up for a walk around the neighborhood and is moving 0-60 when the leash comes out. He is good with chill cats and enjoys sleeping on his bed or couch after a long day. Macaroni has been around very young foster puppies and done well, but it would be best for him to be the only dog in his new home as he doesn’t do well with other adult dogs that would possibly not be submissive to him. Macaroni needs a family with precious large breed  or Great Dane experience. He can be picky with new people and needs someone who can handle his size and preferences. Macaroni is ready to be part of your family and start making the memories you can only experience with him. He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Macaroni up north to his new family. You can apply to adopt him today!     If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Macaroni here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

Story
APPLY FOR ARLO I’m Arlo, your friendly neighborhood Great Dane, and at a sprightly 1.5 years old, I’m ready to leap into the next big adventure—finding my forever home!   So, here’s a little backstory: my last family had to let me go because I got a wee bit snack-happy with something I shouldn’t have munched on, and they couldn’t swing the vet bill. But fear not! A bunch of superhero humans swooped in to save the day and gave me all the TLC I needed. Now, I’m back to feeling like a million bucks!   They say I’m the quintessential Great Dane—loveably goofy, adorably clumsy, and oh-so-playful! And let’s set the record straight: I may be a towering giant (allegedly), but trust me, I fancy myself a lap dog! Seriously, there’s a comfy spot on your lap just waiting for me!   I adore fellow doggos and the kiddos who are steady on their feet (because I sometimes forget I’m a big ol’ guy and don’t want to accidentally turn playtime into a bowling match!). As for kitties? Well, I’ve yet to meet one, but I’m pretty sure we’d hit it off like peanut butter and jelly when introduced properly!   I’m on the lookout for a fabulous family who knows the ropes of handling big pups like me and who can keep my brain and bouncy body entertained!    ADOPTION FEE: $800 ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:  Microchip, Vaccines APPLICATION: Click here to apply IF YOU HAVE OWNED A PET IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, PLEASE CALL YOUR VET AHEAD OF TIME TO ALLOW RESCUES TO SPEAK TO THEM APPLY FOR ARLO ##2626530##

Story
Dane was running out of time through no fault of his own. He found himself in a small rural shelter where space had run out, putting him on the euthanasia list simply because there wasn't room. Thankfully, Dane got a second chance. At around a year old, this stunning blue merle Great Dane mix is as easygoing as they come. He enjoys going for walks, hanging out with his dog friends, and taking plenty of naps in between. Dane gets along great with dogs of all sizes and with cats, making him an easy fit for many homes. He is a calm, laid-back guy who is simply happy to be included. Good fit: someone looking for a relaxed companion who enjoys walks, naps, and spending time with both people and other animals. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Fully vetted (neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested) Adoption fee: $450 (includes transport + vetting) Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ Think you might be a good fit?
