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
This happy little guy seems to wake up every morning convinced it's going to be the best day ever. By the time you've spent five minutes with him, you'll probably feel the same way. Between his floppy ears that bounce with every happy trot, his goofy puppy antics, and his excitement over absolutely everything, Flame has a way of making even ordinary days feel a little brighter. He lives in a loving foster home with kids and other dogs and he really is a wonderful puppy ready to join your family! Watch Flame's video and see why everyone falls in love with him: https://youtu.be/O9ROagYIIZ8?si=xDvPFgo980uC7xbx At approximately 6 months old and currently 30 pounds, Flame is our best guess at a Pittie Dane mix, but with animal rescue, it's always a mystery! His foster family is guessing part Dane because of his long legs, big feet, and goofy demeanor. Whatever breeds came together to create this handsome boy, they gave him the sweetest personality, the cutest floppy ears, and the perfect balance of playful puppy energy and laid-back cuddles. Flame is everything you'd hope for in a puppy. He's friendly, social, curious, and always excited to make a new friend. He approaches life with so much enthusiasm that it's hard not to smile watching him explore the world around him. Whether he's trotting around with one of his favorite toys, investigating something new, or simply soaking up all the attention he can get, Flame is happiest when he's included in the fun. Speaking of toys... this boy loves them! He enjoys chasing after toys, proudly carrying them around, and playing a good game of tug-of-war. He's still working on the whole "bring it back" part of fetch, but he certainly has the chasing part mastered. Once playtime is over, though, Flame is more than happy to settle down for some affection. He's a sweet, loving puppy who enjoys being close to his people and has a wonderful off-switch after he's gotten his puppy energy out. Flame is currently fostered in a home with two precious little girls and other dogs, and he's fitting right in. In fact, one of his favorite places to be is snuggled up in the girls' arms, soaking up all the love and attention they have to give. His gentle, affectionate nature makes him a joy to have around, and he loves being part of whatever his family is doing. He's already crate trained and generally does very well in his kennel. Potty training has also been off to a great start, and he's been learning where the appropriate potty places are. Like any young puppy, he'll likely need a little reminder once he arrives in a brand-new environment, but with consistency, patience, and routine, we expect him to continue making great progress. Flame is also a smart little guy who already knows how to sit and takes treats so gently from your hand. He's eager to learn, loves his treats, and has all the makings of a puppy who will enjoy continuing his training with his forever family. Like all puppies, Flame will need continued socialization, training, and guidance as he grows into adulthood. The time and love you invest in him now will help shape him into the incredible companion he's already well on his way to becoming. If you're looking for a puppy who's equal parts playful sidekick, cuddle buddy, and tiny ray of sunshine, Flame is ready to fill your home with laughter, floppy ears, puppy kisses, and enough happiness to brighten every single day. We are willing to test Flame Tulip with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69dd4b3941eb1ebf130a13de Questions?

Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!  We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  It doesn’t stop there!

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.
