Story
Meet Barry, Do you enjoy your dogs to be safely described as `meatheads?` Do you appreciate a dog that knows his own mind? Barry sniffs and walks where he wants to walk. While helping him to learn leash manners, you may feel as though your leash is attached to a brick wall. You will just have to be the brick wall right back! It will be very empowering. Cats? Not allowed in Barry`s house! Other dogs eating? Definitely not allowed in the same room as Barry. Children under 12 will turn into pancakes with his heft; therefore we ask that Barry goes home with older children; Barry knows the feats of strength he has to offer. Strangers or visitors coming into the home will be exposed to a strict vetting process that will definitely be paired with barking until you have convinced him that these are new people to show off his toys to. Barry insists his joints be treated with love and respect through a continued weight loss regimen and the medication Carprofen for life. If you are interested in making Barry a permanent member of your family, please stop by with all human and canine family members.

Meet Victoria;A girl who knows what she wants. At a year and a half, she`s your typical hound: VERY vocal, very nose to the ground, and very social with people. She enjoys meeting new people and going for long walks to get out that pent up energy! She`s looking for a home with NO DOGS! She has not done well with them. As for kitties, it`s unknown if she has ever lived with them before (She came in as a stray), but she may be willing to live with cats; KVHS offers dog-to-cat papers to help train and adjust a dog to a cat!Victorias ideal home is something who will continue to work on training the basics, leash manners, and overall, how to be the best little hound she can!Interested in meeting Victoria?

Chicken Nugget

Rottweiler

Male, 1 yr 11 mos
Augusta, ME
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
If we could describe Chicken Nugget`s character it would be very similar to Courage the cowardly dog. When Chicken Nugget first came to KVHS as a stray, he had to overcome his fear of opening up and trusting a few staff members. At first meet he is very bashful and will use his voice when he is uncomfortable. But just like Courage, he overcame that fear and made a few friends here that he absolutely loves and protects. He walks well on leash. He knows `sit` and `paw.` He is a treat-motivated, hugging cuddle-bug who will forever be a loyal friend. ** Please understand Chicken Nugget may need to have several visits until he is comfortable enough to go home with you ** He will be happiest and most successful in a home free of cats and people under the age of 18. He has not yet met a dog friend here, but is willing to meet other K9`s. If you are interested in meeting Chicken Nugget be prepared with treats, all household family members and patience in meeting this sweet, shy boy.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Meet Margot, Marvelous Margot will be perfect for a home without close neighbors and who enjoys lots of doggy love! Margot looks like an adorable little cow and loves to follow her nose. We believe she will be willing to have cat and dog friends in her new home. We are recommending that she go to a home with children over the age of 6 due to her discomfort with certain types of touch and extended eye contact. If you are interested in meeting the Magnificent Margot, please stop by with all canine and human family members.

Story
Do you also like them chunky, like Moto Moto from Madagascar? Well, Rusty is your boy! Although, we`d love to get him on a weight regiment to get him looking more like Alex the lion. He already has the confidence and charisma, he just needs a good gym partner! This boy is looking for a home with kids 15 years old and up. Previously lived with cats and did very well. As for dogs, Rusty is looking for a home without other canines. He`d rather soak up all the love and butt scratches for himself. Rusty has a personality mix of playful, energetic and sometimes stubborn, yet he possesses a genuine heart of gold. If you are interested in this boy, please come to KVHS during opening hours with all family members.
