Story
Meet Kane – A Happy, Wiggly Boy with a Heart Full of JoyKane is a goofy, sweet, and endlessly happy pup who tackles life with tail wags and pure enthusiasm. He may walk a little differently, but don’t tell him that—he’s too busy running, playing, and soaking up affection to notice! His wobbly stride just adds to his charm and never slows him down.Kane is social, full of life, and always ready for his next adventure or cuddle. He seems to be house-trained, and with a bit of routine and TLC, he’s been doing great with more frequent walks. Shelter life isn’t ideal for Kane, and we know he’ll thrive in a home that can give him the space and attention he deserves.If you`re looking for a one-of-a-kind companion who will brighten your days with his goofy grin and joyful spirit, Kane might be your perfect match. Will you give this special boy a chance?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.Dolly has large Great Dane genes grafted onto a somewhat smaller body. Not that anyone would ever call her small, but you would say she's a manageable size, which is perfect. If you love the Dane look, but aren't sure you could handle a full size model, we have Dolly waiting for you. She is currently only 60 lbs., but that is a bit deceiving, as she is very underweight. We would like to see at least 15 lbs. more on her ribs and we are working on it. She is now getting top quality groceries, something she has never had before. Still a young dog, at only about 2 years old, she is in the process of learning about how to deal with the world around her and she is learning fast. Her foster has some comments to help you understand this 'dog-in-progress. 'She’s nervous around new people and things. She does warm up after a bit. Her initial reaction to people that she doesn’t know is to low growl. She is trying to tell everyone to give her a moment to process the new information. I don’t recommend a house with cats or small animals. She’ tries to chase down all the birds,  and squirrels when we’re outside. I’m fairly confident her life prior to rescue wasn’t a good one. It's heartbreaking seeing a good dog trying to cope with a world she was never shown. UPDATE:I have had her for a month now, and she is learning! I took her to the vet today, and while she was nervous, she did not growl. So there has been improvement on that aspect. She wasn’t super outgoing and wanting everyone’s attention, so definitely stand by the slower to warm up to strangers. I highly suspect she’s been abused. She is highly intelligent and learns new things really fast.  She really has the potential to be an excellent dog, and wants to be loved and please her person. MORE UPDATE: Since being here at my house over a month now I have some new insights into her. She is not dog friendly with all dogs.  She's OK with my male dog, but not so happy with my female.  I've been working on getting her to ignore people on walks and she's doing better. She doesn't like it if strangers get to close when we are out.  In the yard. she's definitely going to need at least a 6 foot fence to keep her safely secured.  I will say, she is house trained and does let you know when she needs to go out. She also does very well in her kennel. She is very smart, and can learn things pretty quickly. She has all her shots and is ready and waiting for the person or family who like bigger dogs, but aren't ready for an actual Goliath. Dolly is a good girl! She is hoping you will want to help her be a good dog and come for her soon.   If you are interested in Dolly, please fill out an application at: https://reachoutrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=4588    Or contact: rorrcanine@gmail.com   *** Click here to sponsor this dog! ***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 5:13 pm

Story
Meet Dane, a 1 year old male Lab/Great Dane mix who weighs around 65 lbs. Dane is a total delight! Super sweet and he may still have a bit more growing to do so he will be a big boy. He has a heart full of joy and enjoys life to the fullest. Known for his fun, goofy antics, life with Dane is fun and never boring. His playful and friendly nature makes him a perfect companion for adventurous people or families. Energetic and full of life, Dane is always ready for a friendly romp with other dogs of all sizes. He has a great disposition that endears him to everyone that he meets. He will need a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and play but will want to be inside with his people when he is not having fun outside. Dane is house trained and ready to join your family! Dane is neutered, fully vetted, heartworm negative and microchipped. Our pups come with one month of free pet insurance when you adopt.
