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
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
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
Meet Breaker Your Adventure Buddy in the Making! Breaker is a handsome Great Dane/lab mix who is ready to find an active, committed family to call his own. At 2 years old & 85 pounds, he's a wonderful blend of big-dog presence and goofy puppy charm. Breaker thrives on activity and he still has that classic puppy energy, so he's looking for a family that understands the importance of positive correction, consistency, and continued training to help him grow into the best version of himself. With the right guidance, Breaker is eager to learn and please. One of Breakers favorite things in the world is going on adventures. He absolutely loves riding in the car and would be thrilled to tag along for hikes, outings, road trips, or any fun day spent exploring with his people. Water is another big favorite—splashing, wading, and cooling off are right up his alley. When playtime rolls around, Breaker is all in. He loves toys of all kinds and enjoys playing with dogs his own size. Most of all, Breaker wants to be with his people. He would happily spend the entire day with his family, whether that means being on the go or just hanging out together. If you're an active household looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion to share life's adventures, Breaker may be the perfect match for you. Breaker is looking for a home without small dogs or cats. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm, flea, & tick preventative. He is being fostered in Seguin, TX.
