Story
Meet Baron, your future loyal companion! As an older dog, Baron brings the calm assurance of a friend who knows exactly who he is-dependable, loving, and always there when you need him.This is Baron`s second stay at BHS, and he`s more than ready to settle down in his forever home. He`s looking for a place where he can be the one and only. He is a bit of a lone wolf as other animals aren`t his thing, but he has plenty of love to give!Baron is a seasoned explorer and would thrive with an experienced dog owner who he can bond with. While he enjoys the occasional playful burst of energy (usually when it comes to stuffy toys or a quick walk), he knows when it`s time to relax. He`s also great with kids, but just watch out for those smaller toy balls-he`s been known to mistake them for a snack (one had to be surgically removed!).Now in his golden years, Baron is ready to retire in a cozy home that appreciates his mellow side. He does take a couple of daily supplements to help with his joints, keeping the vets away and him feeling good!Baron is currently in our outback kennels so he has extra space to stretch his legs. Because of this, he can`t be seen from the adoption floor. With any questions or if you are interested in meeting Baron please talk with the staff at the front desk to set up a meet-n-greet! If you`re ready to open your heart and home to this gentle giant, don`t hesitate to reach out. Baron is waiting for his forever family!

Story
Meet Mandy! This sweet and spunky girl is back at the Bangor Humane Society and ready for her next adventure. Originally found as a stray, she was adopted after our 2022 Paws on Parade event, but sadly, she`s returned because the match just wasn’t quite right. Now, Mandy is on the lookout for her perfect fit!Mandy is a high-energy, loving gal who would thrive with an experienced dog owner. She’s not a fan of dog parks or doggie friends, so she`s best as the only animal in the home. Mandy has some stranger danger and can get protective of her people, so her dream place would be a low visitor and low foot traffic home where she can be her loyal self with older teens or adults who truly understand her. All humans in the home must meet with Mandy before an adoption can take place.Mandy is more than what meets the eye! She’s got a sharp mind and a heart full of love. Not only does she handle a leash like a pro and enjoy car rides, but she knows some basic commands. Most importantly, Mandy thrives on being close to her people, giving out kisses and cuddles-once she decides you’ve earned it! If you think you might be the right match for Mandy, reach out to us at BHS by phone, email or stopping by! She`s waiting to meet her forever companion!

Story
Atlas is a great dog! He is one that loves to go for hikes and get outside, but also is a complete couch potato when he's inside. He even has a pair of pajamas that he likes to wear. Atlas was raised around dogs and cats, he has no issue when they cuddle next to him in the sun. Atlas has been living with our son for the last several years, but he has recently had to move back home due to seizures he started having. I am responsible for taking care of my newborn granddaughter throughout the week and I can't keep him. Atlas can sometimes be reactive to sounds, we've had to take away any toys that make weird noises. Because of this, my daughter is not comfortable having him here around the baby. I agree that this is the best option. Older kids Atlas absolutely loves, just maybe too much of a jumper and rough for very young kids. We want Atlas to be in a home where he can be appreciated for the great dog that he is. If interested, please contact me.

Hey there, meet Floki!This large boy comes with a huge personality and always has something to say! Floki has been at BHS for over a year, and our dedicated staff has been working with him to find him a forever home!Floki never turns down a good snack and absolutely loves racing around in our outdoor pen. With his boundless energy, he`s looking for someone who can keep up with his playful spirit!While Floki has a bit of a ladies` man, his ideal person will need to be dedicated and experienced with K-9s, ready to work for his trust and loyalty. He can be a bit nervous around strangers, so be prepared for some extra visits to help him unwind and feel comfortable. Floki prefers an adult-only home and would love to be the sole pup in your life. He`ll need plenty of time and patience to adjust to his new environment before diving into too many new experiences.Floki is currently in our outback kennels so he doesn’t get too stressed with the regular hustle and bustle of the shelter! Because of this, he can`t be seen from the adoption floor. With any questions or if you are interested in meeting Floki please talk with the staff at the front desk to set up a meet-n-greet! If you have the space in your home and heart for this giant goofball, don`t hesitate to inquire further. Floki is ready to fill your life with love and laughter-are you ready for him?

Story
We have been looking for a good fit for Ranger, a half plott/treeing walker hound. He would do well with a retired ourdoorsman/woman who is looking for a companion, or a family with older kids who love the outdoors, ideally on a large property away from a main road. Ranger has good recall for a hound, he is trained with a tone/vibration/ static charge collar, and has been raised around kids and cats and chickens. He has never hunted but is a great mouser in the garden.
