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.October 31, 2026, 12:12 am

Story
**$265 in pledges to any rescue that may pull!** **New notes and videos 10/4!** Kelce ACCT-A-260968 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to behavioral concerns. Kelce must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER by MONDAY, OCTOBER 5TH at 10AM. Should Kelce's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Kelce is a 4-year-old Great Dane/Cane Corso mix who came to ACCT Philly as an owner surrender on September 16th. Her previous family described her as loyal and playful, but also very protective and fearful of people she doesn't know. They reported that she can bark, growl, and nip when meeting new people, though she typically settles once she has time to get comfortable. Since arriving at ACCT, Kelce has often been overwhelmed in the shelter environment and benefits from a slow, soft approach. Once outside her kennel, she is generally low energy and easy to walk, and she has shown that she can be sweet and curious with people when given time and space. She knows "sit," takes treats gently, and has been tolerant and avoidant during dog introductions. Due to her behavioral concerns, Kelce is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner who can give her the time, structure, and behavioral support needed to build trust in a home environment.

When I went around she remained at the door with soft eyes, furrowed brow, ears to the side and tail down slowly wagging. Took a treat gently through the bars. Per volunteer 9/20: Was sitting in kennel. Divider was down so pretty tight space for large dog. Came to kennel door when I opened it.

Came over to me for treats and the tail untucked. Walked around aloof. Knows "sit". Is a curious dog, sweetie, likes a slow and soft approach. Was a little overwhelmed at photoshoot with all the attention and pulled towards the door but took treats and redirected. Easily returned to kennel. Per staff 9/19: Laying on the bed. I approached and opened the gate. She tensed her body, furrowed brow. I tossed in a treat, she stood up and ate it. I put another on the ground in the leash and she stretched forward and was easily leashed while eating the treat. Tightly tucked tail while walking. Went to playgroup. When removing from the yard she was bucking at the leash, resisting being moved. She was allowed to retreat and we tried again and was successful at seamless removal from the yard. Easily went back into kennel. Per staff, playgroup 9/19: Steer test 4/5 with water, did not do can. Tucked tail. Owner searching. Tolerant and moving away. Per staff 9/18: Kennel Presentation: Laying on the bed when I approached. Wide eyes, ears to the side and furrowed brow. Leash Skills: Could not offer treats as she had a surgery slip for today. Low growling, I attempted to lasso a few tries and she did air snap towards it. I gave her some time and spoke softly. Able to gently leash up. Pulled hard on the leash and outside pulled even harder towards the parking lot. Sociability: Brought into the yard and she was just looking out to the road. Some sniffing and went to the bathroom. I was able to do a few pets, skin crawling and moving away. Dog Interaction: Met Limber. Avoidant, tolerant of being sniffed and moving away. Return to Kennel: Went right into kennel and removed leash with clip. Color Level: Exp Blue Per staff 9/17: Curled up laying on the bed. Tense eyes, furrowed brow, ears to the side. Tossed a few treats in and she sniffed for them however only ate the ones closest to her. I opened the door and she did a low growl with closed mouth. Kelce then moved to the back side of her kennel, I closed the guillotine door and went around to the back. I was able to leash with a treat lure and going slow. Pulls hard on the leash, zig zagging. Brought into my office to be checked in. Tail tucked, wide eyes, furrowed brow and skin crawling. Able to vaccinate using the blocking board. Only eating intermittently. Flinched when I clipped the leash on the way back to her kennel. She went right in and I slipped the leash over her head. Per staff 9/17: Tightly tucked tail, furrowed brow. Flinchy and skin crawling, moves away from touch. Used blocking board to vaccinate, tolerant, one short low growl, otherwise tolerant. Only eating intermittently. Per staff 9/16: We tried to check her in but she was too stressed out. She was exit searching and panting really hard. Other then that she did take cream cheese n meatball n chicken. She didn't try to but she just backed up and sit down when I tried to give her her vaccine. Per owner surrender notes 9/16: Reason for surrender: She is very protective but once she gets to know you she could be a really good dog she just needs people to put in the time unfortunately our family is growing and don't have the time anymore. Lives with young adults 18-25, kids 4-9 years old, older adults 60+. Fully housetrained and crate trained. Super high energy and an extremely strong puller. Favorite treats are deer antlers and any kind of bone. Sleeps in a dog bed/blanket on the floor. Knows name, sit, no, go potty. Enjoys rope toys, squeaky toys, bones or other durable chew toys, stuffed toys, and Kongs. Favorite activities include playing fetch, playing tug-of-war, running/jogging, napping, and hanging out with owners. Behavioral issues include too much energy/gets overstimulated, gets into the trash can, pulls too hard on leash, mouthing or play biting, fearful of new people, reactive/aggressive towards other dogs, cats, strangers, and children. Has tried to bite but didn't make contact. She is very protective but after a few minutes and she gets to know the person she normally calms down. Reaction towards wildlife depends on the situation. Her perfect home would be a house with a big yard for running around and people that can spend time with her. The best thing about her is she is very loyal and playful. Per owner 9/6: Yes she barks and growls at people when first meeting them it takes a little while for her to warm up to new people.

Behavioral concerns: very aggressive towards people she doesn't know. Per owner 9/1: No she has never bit anyone just growls alot.

Story
Journey's UPDATE 9/12/26:  Journey is a BIG Happy, Lovable and Goofy Great Dane. She is affectionate, playful and as it turns out GREAT with other dogs! (was not when arrived at MP)  She is younger than initially felt to be, now best guess is 1 1/2 - 2 years Extra Large gal. She has gained all her needed weight and her skin sores have healed. She has made a FULL recovery.  This special gal is happy and energetic loving life. How about it, ready for a new best friend? Journey wants to continue her Journey with you!  See her full story since arrival to MP below.  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.

MACARONI IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO PA ONCE ADOPTED!    Macaroni is a Great Dane that wants to lounge on the couch with his person. He is 7 years old and weighs 140 pounds.  He is house broken. He is always up for a walk around the neighborhood and is moving 0-60 when the leash comes out. He is good with chill cats and enjoys sleeping on his bed or couch after a long day. Macaroni has been around very young foster puppies and done well, but it would be best for him to be the only dog in his new home as he doesn’t do well with other adult dogs that would possibly not be submissive to him. Macaroni needs a family with precious large breed  or Great Dane experience. He can be picky with new people and needs someone who can handle his size and preferences. Macaroni is ready to be part of your family and start making the memories you can only experience with him. He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to PA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Macaroni up north to his new family. You can apply to adopt him today!     If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Macaroni here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Headline: Meet Slim Jim — Your Goofy, People‑Loving Velcro Sidekick! Personality: Slim Jim is a goofy, people‑loving velcro dog who wants nothing more than to be close to his person. He follows you everywhere, curls himself into the tiniest ball imaginable, and can twist into hilarious pretzel‑like positions that keep you laughing daily. He’s full of affection, full of personality, and full of love. He’s an energetic walker who can easily do five miles and still have a round of zoomies left in him, but once he’s had his fun, he becomes a true nap king — happiest snuggled up beside you or tucked into one of his signature curled‑up poses. Slim Jim does have separation anxiety and, at this stage, cannot be left alone. He thrives with someone who is home often and can give him the reassurance and structure he needs. He’s not able to tolerate a crate when left alone, but with patience and consistency, he has great potential to improve. For now, he needs a home where he won’t be left solo and can enjoy the comfort of being near his person. Slim Jim is a loyal shadow, a silly companion, and a deeply affectionate dog who brings warmth, laughter, and devotion to every day. He’s looking for someone who wants a true sidekick — a dog who will adore them endlessly. Favorite Activities: Slim Jim’s favorite things in life are wonderfully simple: long walks, cozy naps, and chewing on a good bone. He loves getting out for his daily strolls and can happily go for miles, taking in all the sights and smells. Once he’s had his exercise (and a round of zoomies), he’s all about settling in for a nap — preferably curled up in one of his signature tiny‑ball positions. When he’s awake and relaxing, a sturdy chew bone is his go‑to pastime. As long as he’s close to his person, Slim Jim is content, happy, and fully in his element. Medical Issues: Slim Jim arrived in rescue extremely underweight, but with proper care and nutrition he has made a strong recovery. He is healthy, gaining steadily, and just needs to continue putting on a bit more weight. He has no ongoing medical issues and is thriving in foster care. What would be the best kind of home: Slim Jim is looking for a patient, adult home that can offer structure, consistency, and plenty of companionship. Because he is a big, enthusiastic 75‑lb lap‑dog who still jumps when excited, he would do best in a home without young children; respectful kids 12+ may be appropriate. He is dog‑reactive and prefers to have his person all to himself, so he is best as an only dog, though a calm, respectful dog may be possible with careful introductions. Cats are unknown. Slim Jim cannot be left alone at this time and needs someone who is home consistently. A two‑adult household would be ideal so he can share his affection and not become overly dependent on just one person. He loves all people and bonds quickly. Before rescue, Slim Jim lived on the streets and had to survive on his own. In the last few months, he has been learning how to be a household dog — and despite his tough past, he shows no ill will toward humans. He is still worried that his next meal may not be guaranteed, so structure, predictable routines, and trust‑building are key to helping him feel secure. He enjoys long walks and currently gets all his exercise on leash, but he would love a fenced yard to explore. A secure 6' fence is recommended, as he is agile and athletic. Although estimated to be around four years old, Slim Jim still has some puppy energy and enthusiasm. He is food‑motivated, eager to please, and will thrive with continued basic training to help him improve his manners (jumping, counter surfing, and leash reactivity). Additional Comments: Slim Jim’s life has changed completely in just three months. After surviving on the streets and having to fend for himself, he is now learning how to be a loved, indoor family dog — and he is blossoming. Despite his tough past, he shows no ill will toward people and greets everyone with affection and trust. He is still learning that meals are consistent and safe, so structure and routine help him feel secure. Slim Jim has so much potential and is already proving what a sweet, loving, devoted companion he can be. With the right home, he will continue to grow into the incredible dog he’s meant to be.Click here to watch a video of Slim Jim.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
