Story
Welcome Plainer to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 4-year-old Great Dane. She came in with a male Great Dane and she does great with him. She has a little grey on her muzzle and she smiles and wrinkles her nose. She then puts her head in your hands. It was startling the first time we saw her wrinkle her nose. We thought it was a negative indicator but the more we worked with her the more we knew it was her way to smile. She is adorable. She is moderately active and would be fine with a lower energy family. She will be fine as an only pet and she would be fine with children. She is an adult so you won’t have all the puppy antics to put up with. She is good in her crate and good on a leash. She is currently going to be cleared for the heartworms and then spayed and readied for her forever home. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 180. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.12/5/25 Adoption fee waived! Needs a home or new foster! In Arkansas, but can transport to New England area. Tango is a big, young Great Dane mix. He is a wonderful dog with a gentle demeanor. He is amazing with kids, as well as other dogs. He was adopted from us as a young puppy, and his family absolutely adored him. His family, which included a little boy around 4-5 years old, did a fantastic job raising him. They trained him and gave him everything he needed to be the best boy. Sadly, the little boy and the dad of the family developed a severe allergy to dogs. It was so bad that dad ended up in the hospital. So they had to surrender Tango back to us. Since then he has been in a foster home. He's OK, but hes confused and sad and is experiencing some anxiety, understandably. He just wants to be with people, but in his current foster situation he has to be crated a lot of the time. This is hard on him because he did not have to be crated in his former home. He isn't destructive and is honestly just such a good dog. But due to other dogs in the foster home, this is the best we can do. Tango really needs a home of his own where he can devote himself to truly loving his people again, and can be part of the family. He is 2 years old and weighs about 95 lbs. But he has been taught from early on to be gentle. His favorite person in the world was his 'little brother' and he was so good with him. His heart is broken right now because he doesn't understand why he's not with his family any more. Please help us heal his heart. He needs a new foster home where he can be allowed more freedom in the home, or he needs an adopter who will love him and help him heal from this heart break. We will waive his adoption fee for the right home. Please share. Located in Arkansas. He can be adopted locally, but transport is available to the New England area as well. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NY, or CT on Saturdays. To apply to adopt Tango, please click the link. https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

Story
This is Snickers, the gentle easy going 5-year-old Great Dane and Poodle mix that is ready to steal your heart and maybe a few squeaky balls along the way! Weighing in at 123 pounds, making him a giant-sized dog. (yes, he is a big guy, and he is all love). Snickers was a beloved family pet whose owners realized they could not give him the attention he deserves due to job changes and increasing family demands.Snickers is a calm, submissive and low-keyed buddy who has mastered the art of being a relaxed companion. Snickers enjoys being with other dogs, but due to his size, a household with older children may be best. Snickers has not had the opportunity to meet any cats, so it is unknown how he will be with them.Snickers is house and crate trained. It is important to remember that although Snickers is house trained, accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment. Snickers already knows his come, sit, down, stay and shake paws. He is basically a four-star pup with a few tricks up his sleeve. He loves being brushed (his version of a spa day) and water (who does not like a good splash?). Snickers leash training is in process, and he would benefit from continuing this important training.If you are looking for a big loveable goofball, who is more about cuddles than chaos, Snickers may be your new best friend. Come and meet him and see if he is the right fit for your family!* Please keep in mind when considering adoption, dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust significantly better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Snickers is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.December 7, 2025, 6:07 am

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🐾 Pleased to meet you - I’m Panda! 🐾 Part marshmallow, part zoomie machine, and 100% good boy. I came in on the skinnier side (hey, rescue life isn’t exactly a buffet), but I’m filling out nicely thanks to regular meals, snacks and love... lots and lots of love!! At 2yrs and 70lbs I’m already the total package: housebroken, crate trained, and doggy-door certified. I love people of all sizes, though my big, playful energy is better matched with bigger kids and medium-to-large doggie siblings. Small pups might find my enthusiasm a little…extra. But don’t worry—I’m a gentleman and happily back off if another dog says “nah, bro.” (Even Chad’s grumpy old pit bull approves.) My hobbies? Oh, just the usual—water splashing, toy stealing (ahem…sharing), and epic backyard zoomies. I walk like a dream on leash and would love to be your partner for strolls, hikes, or jogs. Underneath all the silliness, I’m a soft-hearted guy who just wants a family to call my own. Someone to laugh at my antics, throw my toys, and remind me every day that I’m finally home. 🖤🤍 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and get ready to add a little Panda-monium to your life. I promise it comes with lots and lots of cherished moments and unlimited cuddles!!!

Great Dane Labrador Retriever

Female, 2 yrs 10 mos

Story
Meet Misty! She's a smart lady who is smart as a whip! She's crate trained, mastered many commands (sit, down, off, mat, enough, go to your room, here, all done- more than most kids :). She loves to run, play fetch and be wherever you are! She's a year and a half old, and was lucky enough to have professional training donated to help her find her forever home. Whoever adopts her will receive at least one free hand off session from her trainer to help her transition go perfectly! Her ideal family would be somewhat active (she needs to run around a yard at least a few times per day). She gets along well with other dogs, but calmer dogs are best. Misty loves to play, but she can get very excited if the other dog is too energetic! She would do well with older children. Younger children and cats would require a lot of supervision. Her trainer thinks she would be a great agility dog, but she is smart enough to do anything you want to train her to do! She will require some active parenting to teach her the rules of your house, because she is so smart, she may try to make her own activities if nothing fun is provided! She's potty trained now (we had some overnight accidents until she started going in her crate at night). She's a great dog with a good head on her shoulders, and she wants to know if you are the one for her! $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

Story
Timber is a stunning brindle mastiff/ Great Dane mix who absolutely adores people! He has a goofy personality to him that lights up the room. His foster says he likes everyone he meets and can’t get enough back scratches. He loves to run and play and would enjoy having a fenced in yard or a family that is active. Timber is great with children, he doesn’t know he’s a big boy so older children may be best for him. He thinks he’s a lap dog and will cuddle with as long as you want. Timber does prefer to be the only dog because he loves his people so much. Timber would be an amazing addition to your family and being nothing but love and laughter and sloppy kisses. Timber Is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com
