ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13446Hi! My name is Harley. I’m guessed to be a 1 year old Great Dane. My weight at the moment is 90 pounds, but I need to add some weight. My foster mommy says I'm an absolute sweetheart. I have loved everyone that I've met - kids, dogs (Click here to see me playing), big people, little people, I love them all! Here's what my foster fam knows about me:- I am house trained.- I am crate trained.- I mostly walk well on a leash, but I do pull when I get excited and see other dogs. I am working on this, so I hope you'll be patient with me!- I wasn't fed well in the past, so sometimes I get protective of my food if other dogs are around. I prefer to eat in my crate so I don't have to worry about them taking my food.- I sleep quietly in my crate at night or on my favorite dog bed. - I love the little kids in my foster home, but I don't know how big I am and sometimes knock them over by accident when I'm trying to play. If my forever home has kiddos, they should be older, unless they are used to being around big doggies like me.I will follow you everywhere you go to see what you're doing. I am a polite girl and do not try to steal things off the counter - even though I totally could! I will lay on my dog bed, but I much prefer the couch or your lap! I am a goofy girl who still has some puppy energy. I enjoy playing, but I also like to curl up with you for some lovins! I am hoping my forever family has Great Dane experience so they understand my quirks and can work with me to be the best girl!If you think I'm the gal for you, apply today! My foster momma says I'm the perfect lady and won't be available long!

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 would be delighted to lope along at your side when you go for walks or play in the back yard. We have found her to play well with other dogs, so even if she towers over them, she has nice dog manners. 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 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.March 26, 2024, 6:59 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Fill out an Adoption Application RAJAH IS LOCATED IN KNOXVILLE, MD. Rajah, The Good, The Bad and The Loving Great Dane! Since coming to MTM, Rajah has been adopted twice, and returned within a month each time. Why? She’s a big, strong, and playful girl, who came into rescue because her owner died, and her owner’s next of kin kept her outside for 2 years before surrendering her to rescue in January 2021. In those 2 years, she had minimal training and human interaction, and she became infected with heartworm. MTM provided heartworm treatment and she is now negative. Rajah’s previous adopters expected too much, too soon. The first adopters allowed their cat in immediate proximity within the first hour, and Rajah chased. Days later, it wasn’t any better. The second adopter had no other pets, and no children at home. Rajah was adjusting well to the routine and the long walks and all the attention. But, when an adult child and dog visited, Rajah got protective, so she was returned. Her perfect home would have a confident and patient owner, no children, no other animals, and a yard that is fenced in with a physical fence.  Rajah could potentially have a K9 brother or sister as long as his/her demeanor was calm and not overly exuberant or aggressive and they were introduced properly, with decompression techniques used. Rajah needs time and consistency to learn her people are trustworthy. She doesn’t have good social skills with dogs. She chases cats and other small animals. She has been with the same fosterer since April 2021. Her fosterer has other dogs, and goats. Rajah is kept separated from the other animals, and her fosterer feels Rajah doesn’t get enough time with her. Her fosterer describes Rajah as a loving, bouncy seven-year-old Great Dane, a "picture-perfect dog that is just beyond beautiful. Her soul and spirit are truly a rare blessing." She deserves a home where she can enjoy her own space and her own people. Rajah knows basic obedience, just needs to be reminded. She pulls at times but also knows how to walk at a heel position. She loves her zoomies but then will get excited and will jump up to face greet. Putting her in a sit and giving a calm chest rub will calm her back down. She rides great in the car. She has no issues with people approaching, but she will bark at other dogs. Going to the vet hasn’t been an issue. Grooming; she is fine with nails trims, brushing, etc. She is fine by herself, so she can be left alone while someone works. Likes: Rajah loves having her face petted and leaning in for a Dane hug. She is so attentive and eager to please. She does well in a crate, but she will sing to you if she needs a potty break, a hug or attention. Dislikes: Strangers, dogs barking at her, unpredictable people or activity Personality: Rajah is playful and loving. Her facial expression is so soft. She just wants to get and give love. Energy level: Rajah is able to be calm in a crate, but when loose she is high energy. She loves her zoomies so would do best in a fenced yard. She runs the fence barking at the goats, and the other dogs. Favorite activities: Zoomies and hugs. Good with: Calm, confident and predictable adult humans, and positive training. She likes to please. Not good with: Energetic or loud dogs or cats. She is insecure, so is not trustworthy with children. Housetrained: Yes. Crate trained: Yes. Challenges: Rajah will need to have her obedience training refreshed. She is calmest in a home with a confident owner or she will take control. She does not have good dog-to-dog social skills and she chases cats, so would do best in a home with no other pets. She has done well with calm K9's, so that is a possibility and can be explored in discussion with her current foster. Any Medical issues? Rajah is now heartworm negative! Rajah would thrive in an experienced Great Dane home that understands the importance of ongoing training to build Rajah's confidence. Being an only dog would give her the attention and the time she wants and needs to become a happy-go-lucky Dane. A fenced yard would give her the thrill of the zoomies that she so loves. Rajah may be seven years old, but she isn’t ready to slow down, a typical Dane, she will enjoy going for a walk just as much as a nap. Meeting this girl will bring a joy to your life that only a Great Dane can bring.   Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Fill out an Adoption Application OLIVER (“OLLIE”) IS LOCATED IN KNOXVILLE, MD Meet Ollie, a 2 year-old Dane/Mastiff mix who was rescued from an Indiana shelter by MTM. Likes: Ollie loves his hoomans, bone chew toys, and dog pillow. He loves to go for walks to visit with the dog walking parade, and snuggling with his human on the sofa. He tries to be your lap dog! Dislikes: Ollie currently dislikes anyone near his food or chew bones. Personality: (Goofy, laid back, playful, etc) Ollie is WHOLE lot of snuggles! He’s playful (poster pup of ‘in your face’) and just wants to be schnuggled. He warns strangers near his home or his person, bumping himself in between foster mom and doors (or people), but once properly introduced he is very friendly to humans both big and small. Temperament: He’s a big puppy with a Velcro personality.  Ollie is an alpha personality and wants to be the alpha of his four legged pack mates (& humans, if allowed).   Ollie knows “no”, “off”, “stop”, “release” and “crate”, is stubborn but with patience, and listens to his foster mom. Energy level:  Ollie loves to be outside for walks less than a mile (he gets really excited when he sees his harness and leash come out and runs to the car and then the door). Favorite activities: By far, Ollie’s favorite pastime is car rides. And rawhide/bones. Good with small and large dogs, and kids (over 6)?: When properly introduced to new dogs, he does well (best if submissive). Ollie gets along with his alpha schnoodle brother and the energetic, submissive Dane foster sister, Rayna.  Ollie has not been tested with cats, but he doesn’t show interest in chasing small critters in the yard or on walks. Ollie has been exposed to both younger and older kids, barks until introduced, then runs to fence for pats on head.   Not good with: Oliver guards his bones & food, counter surfs, and is learning that toilets are only for humans (uses as backup water bowl if two legged males leave lid up).  He’s working on his bathroom and kitchen manners (but when your head is above countertop level… puppy temptation is hard to curb- lol). Housetrained: Yes! Crate trained: Yes! Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)? Ollie enjoys walking around and protecting his foster home’s fenced yard.   Walks well on a leash? Ollie is doing very well on leash (needs gentle lead).  He alerts and sometimes pulls if a male dog and him start a staring contest, but he can be distracted before continuing walk. Challenges: Ollie is a puppy with adult dog sized strength - with his strength building post surgery.  His leash manners are improving every day along with healthy boundaries for his alpha personality in a human world as well. Any Medical Issues? Ollie is recovering from TPLO knee surgery on his left rear leg, gradually strengthening it and is well on the way to a full recovery. He is scheduled to be released from doctor’s care early February!  His rear right knee does show scar tissue from a previous sprain - monitoring and minimizing stairs is recommended. What would be the best kind of home? Ollie will benefit most from a family who embraces his Velcro personality, enforces basic training, provides socialization with others (to keep him socially adept), and has other submissive-type dogs, if any.    Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Fill out an Adoption Application LOCATED IN WALNUTPORT, PA Handsome Rocky is a very sweet Mastiff/Great Dane mix. He is friendly but does take a minute to warm up. He has good energy and is a healthy and happy puppy. Rocky loves his foster brothers and sisters, big and small, and plays nicely with them all.  He needs a home with a big fenced in yard and a furry friend to run and play with.   Likes: Rocky loves to play with toys, especially the squeaky or crackly type.  He is learning his commands and would do well with a training regimen. Dislikes: Rocky does well alone but needs his toys otherwise he may find things to play with that he shouldn’t if left alone and not crated. Rocky crates well and has learned to go to his crate for his meals. Personality: Friendly but a bit shy still and energetic, like most puppies. Temperament: Great with other dogs and with people, including kids. Energy level: Good energy - puppy energy. Favorite activities : Playing, learning new things, being loved. Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6):  Great with people and other dogs; Cats unknown Housetrained: He's working on it! He needs a doggie door or a regular schedule. Crate trained: Yes Requires a fenced yard (physical fence)?  Must have a solid fenced in yard. This is non-negotiable.  Walks well on a leash:   Rocky is still learning leash manners but with time will progress will. Challenges:   Getting him to feel confident with new people, especially men.  Any Medical issues? None known. What would be the best kind of home? Rocky would benefit from a work from home family with other dogs (and kids are okay too). Another large breed confident dog for Rocky to play with would be ideal so he could learn the ropes and gain confidence himself. He's looking for a family that likes activity and will give him time to adjust and settle in. Rocky has a lot of love to give and is ready to find his people!   Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs.
