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!
