Story
Meet Honey Boy, he is a double merle Catahoula/Great Dane mix without a mean bone in his body. He is a sweet, playful, affectionate 80 pound baby. He loves being outside, playing and exploring but is happiest when he cuddling, or curled at your feet. Honey Boy loves his toys, treats, car rides and naps in his crate. My husband read HB's bio and pointed out that I forgot to say that he is very playful. He likes playing with dogs and with people, chasing balls and toys, then he settles down to cuddle and lounge in the yard or on the porch near people. He also loves his evening walks. Honey Boy is leash, crate and house trained. He is the perfect family dog. Honey Boy can’t wait to meet you! Honey Boy is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

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.

Story
Butterfly has a pretty good plan for a Saturday. Join a game of chase, take a breather and see what you’re up to on the other side of the yard. If you’re handing out scratches, she’ll swing by for those, too. Watch Butterfly’s adoption video on YouTube to see her easygoing personality and playful side! https://youtu.be/rwvjHAGAtWE Butterfly is a confident, friendly girl who makes herself comfortable around new people. She likes to wander over for a few pets and then go back to exploring. On walks, she’s happy to keep pace beside you and checks in often, making her lovely company for a stroll around the neighborhood. When it’s time to settle down, she walks right into her kennel and rests quietly. Around other dogs, Butterfly is good at picking up on their cues. She’ll join a game of chase or a little wrestling with a playful friend, take breaks along the way and give her buddies space when they’re ready to pause. She shares toys and attention nicely, and she’s happy to sit and wait her turn when treats come out. Butterfly would love a home with room to stretch out and people who enjoy daily walks, a little playtime and quiet evenings together. A yard would give her a place to wander and sniff, though an apartment could also suit her if the community welcomes a dog her size and her people make time for regular outings. If you’re looking for a dog who’ll join you for a walk, enjoy a romp with friends and then settle in while you go about your day, Butterfly would love to come along. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6aba7f923b355c06730a08f6 Questions?

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##
