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.NOTE- JESSE IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR ANOTHER RESCUE ORGANIZATION. PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. Jesse is very friendly. She is good with other dogs and very intelligent.

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

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.Meet Natasha! Tasha is a purebred great Dane. She is 10 months old and already a very tall girl. Tasha was purchased from a breeder and then spent most of her life outside on a tie out. The original owner knew this wasn’t the best life for such a sweet girl so she reached out for our help. Tasha came to the rescue very thin, but she is gaining weight and getting taller each day. She is a very sweet dog who plays well with other dogs and is respectful of cats (Although still very curious. One day she will figure out what they are). She is potty trained. No accidents in the house or her crate. Tasha is crated overnight and whenever her foster leaves the house. She is smart enough to hold out for treats, but will very willingly go lay down in her crate if she knows that she will be getting a treat. She has the most adorable habit of bringing her blanket and her favorite stuffed animal out from her crate to the living room every day. Tasha is a smart dog. She understands what no means, but cannot believe that anyone would have the audacity to tell her no. She throws her head back in surprise and looks shocked whenever she is told no. Tasha also knows “sit.” Shes started to sit for meals, treats, pets, to go outside, and when she wants to come back inside. She’s figured out that she needs to sit to get the good stuff, so she sits nicely when she thinks it’ll get her what she wants. Tasha walks well on a leash, and loves going for walks. Be prepared to make new friends, because everyone that sees her out walking wants to stop and say hi. She can be a little timid at times, but is learning that nothing is really that scary. Tasha is also learning how big she is, so sitting on people’s laps is not ok but cuddling is pretty great. She has that spot on her belly that if you scratch just right, her leg will kick every time. Big girl is a great dog who deserves a wonderful life. She will be the perfect addition to your family.Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.
