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.July 24, 2026, 4:04 pm

Duchess is a good pet. She lost her brother Duke last year to health issues. She has exhibited none of those issues. She is approximately 6 years old. She is up to date on shots and I have her medical records. I wish to rehome her due to a family life event.

Story
Journey's story didn't start out easy. Found as a stray in the South, she ended up in a high-kill shelter. She was heartbreakingly thin, covered in open wounds, and had clearly been through more than any dog should. Believed to be around 3 years old—or perhaps even younger—Journey desperately needed someone to give her a chance. That chance came when Molly's Place stepped in. They brought her to Pennsylvania and began the journey that inspired her name. With patience, expert care, and lots of love, Journey has made an incredible transformation. Today, Journey is the stunning 108# Great Dane she was always meant to be! The days of being skin and bones are behind her. After a month of healing, her wounds have completely recovered, she's filled out beautifully, and her joyful spirit shines brighter every day. Journey is a happy, HAPPY, energetic, and affectionate girl who is ready to find the loving family she's been waiting for. She gets along well with adults and presently listing as no other dogs, and cat but may change on this. No children at this time due to her enthusiastic Great Dane body and tail has a mind of its own! Her house-training status is currently unknown. Since found as a stray, a 4 ft fenced yard is required.  Journey has overcome so much and is more than ready for the next chapter of her life. Could that chapter be with you? Applications are now being accepted, so don't wait too long. Journey is ready to leap into your heart—and maybe even your lap—and finally find the forever home she deserves.

Story
Meet Duchess, a little pup who will one day be a dog of great stature!  And by stature, we mean that Duchess is going to be extremely tall! To our surprise, a breed test done on Duchess’s brother Duke indicated that the litter could be 100 percent Great Dane.  Duchess and her siblings were dumped as tiny puppies near a busy road, so we don’t know anything about the parents and have no way of knowing if the breed results are 100 percent accurate. But the pups have been growing at a rapid pace and will definitely be very large dogs. As of July 1, Duchess is approximately eight weeks old and already weighs 16 pounds.  Duchess does seem to have the wonderful qualities and temperament of a Great Dane. She is loyal, affectionate, friendly and calm — a gentle giant in the making. She follows her foster mom everywhere and already climbs on the couch to sit in her lap. Duchess has a promising future as a couch potato and lap dog.  Duchess is looking for a forever family who understands the complexities of owning a very large dog. She also still has a lot of basic skills to learn, so she will need a home that can finish up the work of potty training and crate training. But Duchess is sure to be a loving and loyal companion for the right family. If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at https://www.cognitoforms.com/DixieGirl1/PetAdoptionApplicationForm2 PLEASE MAKE NOTE- OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN ALABAMA (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED), OUR DOGS TRANSPORT TO THEIR NEW FAMILIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED.

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.7/26 Meet Miles! He is an 11 week old gorgeous Great Dane puppy. Miles came into rescue as an owner surrender because their young children were scared of him. He loved them and only wanted to play and love on them but they are very young and inexperienced, and he was just a little too much for them. Miles is a wonderful puppy! Incredibly loving and well behaved (but a little hard headed, true to his breed.) Hes working on some basic puppy training and doing well. Miles is a benefactor pup, meaning that his adoption fee will be a bit more than our typical puppies. This will help us support the other dogs in our rescue who take a bit longer to find homes. Please message privately for details. Fb gets angry if we post fees. This big boy is going to be huge and sweet and goofy! Please share!Miles is 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 MD, PA, NJ, or CT on Saturdays. To apply, please fill out the adoption app: 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.
