Story
Bodie is a pleasant mannered young male Great Dane. He has been raised in a house with another small dog (Boston Terrier). We have had no issues between the two dogs, or with other people or children. He has seen other dogs between the fences and hasn’t shown any aggression. He hasn’t been fully leash trained; he has a fenced in yard. So, he hasn’t been socialized with many other dogs. As a matter of fact, we never really socialize our dogs with other dogs. All our dogs have been raised to be house/people dogs. We have an adult autist child that has shown aggression toward Bodie and in every situation the dog has chosen to retreat and bark. Be prepared for the largest lap dog ever, as well as a couch potato. Counter surfing, well since his head is well above the counter, he considers food fair game. It’s a work in progress. He deserves a better home than we provide for him currently. Due to our situation, we are going to have to downsize on all levels.

Story
This sweet dog is an owner surrender. The current family could not afford to keep him and found it difficult to feed him. We naturally offered to help but they were also having to move which new home would not allow dogs. Especially a big one! Opie is an easy dog, very sweet . He is a mix of lab and Dane. He is happy in nature and will be a great dog for any family. Because of his size Opie has been in rescue for about 5 months. Opie is a hearty eater and has been become a little protective over his food. This can be normal for dogs in rescue. Once in a home and the dirt settles, Opie will see the food will not run out and will calm down. He just needs to feel secure. Currently Opie lives in a kennel and absolutely loves it! But Danes are short haired dogs so living outside is not possible especially in the north. Opie goes in when cold or storming. Please remember dogs are area specific trained and Opie is no different. He learns fast, so upon arrival he will need to be shown where he is expected to go! RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the Pennsylvania/ New England/ Virginia area and delivered in Pennsylvania, Virginia and RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please email: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com You can also visit our website Rpacirescue.org to fill out an adoption application

Story
Denali - ID # 45227 3 month old male Great Dane/Great Pyrenees Mix, weighs 45 lbs. Denali is very shy at first, but, with some patience, he warms up quickly. He is going to be a BIG boy!!! We recommend having experience with giant breed dogs and encourage puppy training classes to help socialize Denali.
