Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. All dogs are located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We p ost in east coast states and Canada as we have many families adopt and are happy to make the worthwhile trip up to the rescue. We do not always have time to post all the pictures on each dogs individual page, but we do post a lot of photo's on the rescue Facebook page. DeeDee is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, monthly preventatives, heartworm and tick disease tested negative and is microchipped with 24PetWatch. She has an estimated date of birth of September 2023 and on 22 September weighed 50 pounds. We have no way of knowing the breed, it is up to individuals to look at the pictures and videos to make up their own mind. Beautiful DeeDee has been at the rescue since 24 September 2024 and although she has had some families interested in her, they really didn't have the lifestyle or understanding for what she needs. DeeDee was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas with her sister Dolly who is also still here at the rescue, but is living in the house as I felt it best to separate them to get them used to not being together. At the shelter both girls were terrified of being in a strange, loud, busy unknown environment and when they first arrived at the rescue they was equally as scared, which is totally understandable. After a few weeks their confidence grew as they felt safe and made friends with the other dogs to where now at the rescue they play well with the other dogs, they are relaxed and happy. DeeDee did have a meet and greet about a month ago and taking her out of her environment with the other dogs and to the top of the drive where she had not been and was alone, she again became very scared. I do want to say she has NEVER been aggressive in any way shape or form, she is just scared in new environments and situations. This is not a negative and should be understood, she has most likely never been on her own, not had a great start to life ending up in a high kill shelter at a year old with her sister, but by watching the videos on her page on the rescue website and looking through the photo's you can clearly see that when she is comfortable and feels safe she is a happy confident girl - she just needs a family who understands this and will go slow with her and let her adjust at her pace. At the rescue as mentioned she is a confident girl, she will run up to the gate and bark at cars coming down the drive, she can be vocal when people come to volunteer, however she is in a kennel environment and so all the dogs bark when people come in - she can be a little mouthy with people, which should be expected from the breed and is easy to work on, she doesn't do it all the time. She is extremely affectionate and craves for love and attention and would be a great family dog, as long as she is given that time to understand she is in a safe place with a loving family. I have not had around small children but personally would have no concerns as long as the children respect her space and do not do anything to make her feel unsafe or threatened, which is standard for all dogs. I do not know how she would be around cats, I am sure she would be curious and it is important for families to ensure that cats have a safe place they can get to and of course slow, controlled introductions. Then of course this sweet girl needs a family that understands the breed in that she needs a structured active life, with lots of mental stimulation and challenges as the physical exercise. She would be great with another dog in the family and has never had any issues with the dogs she lives with here at the rescue, which includes being around 3 month old puppies. Overall she is an incredibly sweet, gentle affectionate girl who needs a loving, understanding active family that will give her time to adjust and trust so that this beautiful, active personality can come back out. The shelter noted the following on 2 September about both girls who were taken to the play group individually: Not feeling quite confident on the leash yet, was carried to the yard. She wasn't feeling confident enough to join in with the others at this time. She was standoffish and could feel overwhelmed at times.   Kennel visit - 5 September Stayed on bed and was licking my hands but when I went to pet her she kept flinching and moving her head. Got off the bed and continued to lick hands but still flinched when tried to pet her. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks.  She does need an active family who will ensure she gets all the exercise, both mentally and physically that she needs to live a happy fulfilling life. DeeDee is available for an adoption fee of $300 Interested families are required to complete our application process and once approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue in SEBEC, Maine to meet and take home their new best friend. Our process takes 1-2 days as long as we are able to talk to references, so be prepared to be approved (hopefully) to adopt within a few days of submitting the adoption application.

Story
Rip a 4 yr old, Malinois/Belgian Shepherd mix. He is a big boy at 90lbs. Rip is very intelligent and eager to please. He is very food motivated. He knows many basic commands, including sit, touch, down, paw and is working on roll over. He is also crate trained. Rip enjoys going on long walks with staff and volunteers. Rip's walking ability has received glowing reviews, as our walkers have told us he is one of the most enjoyable dogs to walk. Rip enjoys human interaction, and will ask for attention and affection at any given opportunity. Like any good dog he loves a butt scratch, a belly rub and a head pat. As for other dogs, Rip is selective. He enjoys the company of a dominant female, who can doll out and receive some rough and rowdy play. As much as he loves kids of all ages, due to his size and general doofiness a home with children is not recommended. Rip is also not suitable for a home with cats. For more information on Rip Wheeler, call AWS at 860-354-1350 email animalwelfare.socty@snet.net or visit our website aws-shelter.org for a pre adopt application. Adoption fees for Dogs (8yrs and up) is $150 Adult Dogs is $400 and Puppies under a year is $500

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.12/14/24 STILL AVAILABLE 10/21 Zora, Maud, Klaus, Lars,  Edda, and Petra were born to a stray dog who has been staying in the same area for several years. This is her 4th litter. People in the neighborhood feed her, but no one can seem to catch her to have her spayed. We didn't find out about this situation until last week, when we were contacted by an 86 year old lady who is the one taking care of these pups. The mama dog brought these pups up to her house when they were only a few weeks old, and Ms. Fontaine has been trying to find a rescue to help with them since then. Unfortunately, all rescues in our area are overwhelmed and no one was able to help her. I went over to meet and vaccinate the pups last week. They are 5 months old. They are very scared and timid. Ms. Fontaine is able to pet all of them and even allows them in her house. They love her, and she loves them, but we are all afraid with her age, these pups are creating a fall risk for her. They do not jump on her, but wec are worried about her tripping over them. We would love to move them to other rescues if anyone knows a rescue who could take 1 or 2. They are also available for adoption, but adopters will need to be aware that they will definitely be a project. They will take a long time to gain confidence and build trust. They are NOT aggressive at all. I was able to give them all shots with not even a growl from any of them. They just hide and tremble. I do believe they have potential to be good pets, but it is going to require a lot of patience and work.  If anyone is interested in giving one of these pups a  let us know. We are working on getting them all fixed so they wont continue adding to the population. We will also continue efforts to trap the mama dog so we can stop the steady flow of pups.  We are all so overwhelmed. And it is next to impossible to find homes for dogs like these. Spayed/neutered UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and started on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.  Please consider giving one of these babies a good home. They will be so loyal and loving. Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations.

There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.
