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.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Fill out an Adoption Application LOCATED IN FLORENCE, NJ   Otto is a very regal and handsome 2 year old Mantle Great Dane who is ready to learn about what a wonderful the place the world can be.  When Otto first arrived at his foster's, he was untrained and uncomfortable being indoors - likely because it was new to him.  Since then, he has definitely made progress.  Otto is a big scaredy cat when it comes to a lot of things, but is getting braver with time as he gets used to his new environment.  Baby steps. :)  Although Otto is not necessarily treat motivated, he LOVES dinner time!  And he's recently been learning how to play with other dogs and toys.  It's like a whole new world... ;) Likes:  Otto loves long walks.  The longer, the better.  And dinner.  He LOVES dinner! Dislikes: Sudden noises/movements and loud sounds. Personality: Shy/timid.  This may change over time as he becomes more comfortable with his surroundings. Temperament: Mellow, calm, and nervous. Energy Level: Moderate Favorite Activities: Long walks and face rubs/rubdowns.   Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over age 6)? Cats - unsure. Dogs - yes. Kids - over age 13. Not good with: Small spaces and lots of people at one time.  Otto can get overwhelmed in these two situations.  Again, with time and training this may improve. House trained: Yes! Crate trained? No Requires a fenced yard (physical and/or invisible fence)?  Yes.   Walks well on a leash? Yes, Otto is pretty good on a leash and is getting better every day.  He does enjoy his walks! Challenges: Warming up to strangers.  Currently he is still learning to acclimate to the world around him, which is MUCH different than where he came from.  Once he learns to trust humans and open up we may see a whole different side of this handsome guy. Medical Issues: None What would be the best kind of home for Otto?  Otto would do best with a patient family who is willing to work with him and build a trusting relationship with him.  He needs people to show him how great the world is and all that it has to offer - toys, treats, car rides, walks, parks, games, cuddles, ice cubes, pets, more cuddles, and all the joys of life that he has missed out on. We guarantee you he is worth the time!   Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Fill out an Adoption Application Odin is definitely that Tall, Dark and Handsome fella that is ready for his second chance at life. He is an XXL Great Dane who currently weighs in around 145lbs, has wonderfully natural ears, great personality, and a tail that beats the heck out of you.   Likes: Odin LOVES food, he loves his eyes rubbed and absolutely loves his ears rubbed and the moans he makes when you do it will certainly prove it. (If you have ever seen the show Parks and Rec the bunion scene with Ron Swanson and Andy, the moans he makes is very similar!) He loves to be outside running, taking walks, car rides, TREATS, and just being loved on.   Dislikes: Odin really does not have any dislikes. He is curious about everything. I can’t say that he loves chickens, but he has not won his battles with any of them yet. He has been around cats and most of the time he doesn’t pay attention to them, but if they run he wants to chase them.   Personality: Odin is very even keel and happy. He is fine spending the day on the couch by himself -he has free roam of his area. However, he does have a full-sized sectional couch to himself with a large screen TV and we deliver his food and water...so now, after writing this, I see why he is so even keel and happy when I come to his area of the house! Hmmm...I see now that we have been trained!!   Temperament: Odin is a happy dog.  He is eager to please. He knows sit and paw and to wait when he is told to when his food is given to him. He does not really bark much, doesn’t tear up anything, he gets really excited when it's time to go outside or  go on walks. He will hop right up in the car for a car ride.   Energy level: Odin is full of energy when it's time to first go outside or take a walk.  But give him about 15-20 minutes to get the zoomies out and he is more calm. Odin gets excited for treats and when it's time to eat. He loves food and honestly he could stand to gain about 10 more lbs. He is pretty lean now, but is doing a good job gaining weight from when he came to MTM.   Favorite activities: Odin's favorite activities would be eating, getting treats to eat, seeing you when you come home from work, taking walks, getting to run freely with no leash, and taking car rides. Odin really just goes with the flow of what you want to do.   Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?: He has been around cats, chickens, goats, sheep, cows, etc, and is very curious of them and wants to play with them. With cats, he has been around them and if they run he will chase them, but if they are sitting around he hasn’t seem to really care that much about them. He understands the word NO, and picks up on things quickly so with some work, he will probably have a cat bestie in no time. He has been getting exposure to other dogs and could really care less about any of them. He really wants to play. He is a little kid in a big dogs body! He has not been around any children, but there have been no signs of aggression with him.   Not good with: Odin does not love chickens, but he has not won any battles with them. He chases them, and has chased the cat when it has run from him, but has not been aggressive at all.   Housetrained: Odin is working on his potty training and has been successful about 90% of the time. He wears his belly band through the day while being lazy on the couch and if he drinks a lot of water before we leave for work he has had a full belly band when we have gotten home. Since he arrived (a little over a month ago) he had one accident. The belly band is kept on him while he is in the house and he doesn’t mind it at all. He even comes and stands for you to put it on him.   Crate trained: Odin is a very tall Dane, and once it was noticed that he was not destructive, he has had free roam of his area in the house. Which is a huge unfinished basement area.   Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)? Odin should have a fenced yard just to give him parameters of his area. He is currently being fostered on a farm so he has free run outside after all farm animals have been put up for the night. He is curious of the animals at the farm but has never jumped a fence, tore up a fence or tried to get out of a fence. He has a field that he gets to run and play in and he loves that!   Walks well on a leash? Odin, walks well on a leash, he pulls some, but if he is told to stop pulling he will stop. He has a neck collar, and a harness and he does not mind either being put on him for walks. On walks he does like to come back to you to hear what a good boy he is and just to get loved on then he is back into business with walking again.   Challenges: Odin hasn’t really presented too many challenges. He came in very under weight and had some basic vetting and has done fantastic on every trip to the vet. He does great with his potty training 90% of the time. He is a leaner so 140+ lbs is a lot to lean up against you, but it's because he wants to be loved on.   Any Medical issues? No known medical issues at all. He does get probiotics in his food daily.   What would be the best kind of home? One that can give him lots of love. He is so ready for it, and deserves it! He could really fit in any home, as long as he can get walks and lots of pets. Odin is a sweetie!!     Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs.

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.

He’s still quite puppy-like and curious about everything, but is very smart and catches on quickly.  Barrett doesn’t quite understand how big he is; he will try to plop his big 115 lb butt right on your lap. He’s very food motivated and will do just about anything you ask to get a treat. He’s a little thin right now, but he’s working on gaining more weight with that appetite of his! Likes:  Loves, loves, loves attention from his humans. He likes to sit by your feet all day, whether you’re working at your desk or watching TV, he’ll be right there with you. He also loves his toys and will frequently drop them on your lap, complete with some juicy slobber.  Barrett also enjoys playing with his foster brothers and sisters, running in the yard and horsing around, and going for walks. Dislikes: No dislikes, he is just a happy go-lucky guy. Personality: Very lovey and clingy to his people, he wants to be your best friend and is eager to please. Temperament: Chill dude who loves everyone he meets, he’s very much a snuggle bunny. Energy level: Mostly low-energy. He will get spurts of energy when he wants to play, and other times he is happy with napping next to his humans. Favorite activities : Walks, playing with toys, napping, getting treats. Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?:  Yes, Barrett appears to be friendly with dogs of all sizes. He has been good with his foster siblings, which are a male Cane Corso, a female Cane Corso, and a smaller mixed breed female (even though she doesn’t like him very much because she’s queen bee).  He hasn’t been around any small children, only teenagers, but is friendly to everyone he meets. He is kind of clumsy, so would not recommend kids under 10, as he might accidentally step on their feet or knock them over due to his size. House trained: Yes, he’ll go to the door when he has to go out. Crate trained: Yes, he sleeps in the crate at night without any fuss. Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)? Yes, a fenced yard would be best due to his size. Walks well on a leash?  Yes, very good on a leash, doesn’t pull, and seems indifferent to chaos around him. Challenges: Will counter surf if not watched closely. But once redirected, he does a good job restraining himself.  Any Medical issues? No What would be the best kind of home ? Barrett craves human attention, so he would do best with a family who is home most of the time. He enjoys the company of other dogs, but would also do well in a home without another dog, just as long as he gets to be the center of attention. He does well in the car and is good on a leash, so would be a good travel partner as long as the activity is low-key and not a 5-mile hike.
