Story
The story of Sol. He is about one year old. He has been very loved, trained and has grown up with his bother Manny. Our daughter rescued these boys from an unwanted situation. Unfortunately our daughter has become ill and unable to give them the quality of life they deserve. We are currently fostering them however we have 3 doodles and retired and unable to give them the attention they deserve. His has a lovely personality. Calm, cool and collected! Doppy , funny, snuggly, obedient and quite lazy. We would love the boys to be placed together but we understand that may not be the case. I’m sure Sol would be a wonderful addition for a right family.

Story
The story of Manny. He is one year old and raised with his brother Sol. He was rescued by my daughter from an unwanted home. She has become very ill and unable to care for Manny and his brother. We are currently fostering them til they are placed with a proper pet parent. Manny is trained, sweet, personable, obedient, compassionate, affectionate, and definitely a team player. we would prefer the boys be adopted together, but we know the likelihood of that may not be possible. Manny would make a great addition to the right family.

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,  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 too 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.September 11, 2026, 9:44 am

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 no kids due to her enthusiastic Great Dane body and tail has a mind of its own!  She is wanting all your love and attention, so she does have to be the only animal in the home as well. Her house-training status is currently unknown. Since found as a stray, a 6 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. Kennel License #7198 To submit an adoption application, visit mollysplacerescue.org.
