Story
Koda is 4 years old and has been with his current owners since he was 8 months old. He has completed a full on and off leash obedience course, is neutured, up to date with all shots, and heartworm/flea/tick preventions. Koda is a sweet, intelligent, loyal, guard dog. He loves to cuddle, go for walks, spend time outside, and chase chipmunks. He needs a calm, spacious environment, preferably without cats. Koda is a “guard dog” and in certain situations can be reactive to strangers. He has bitten in the past, although not broken skin. With professional training, this has stopped, but something to be aware of. Looking for a good, calm home with lots of space and love. He is the perfect companion dog and will love you unconditionally! We want to rehome Koda due to traveling a lot with our kids’ sports, and being unable to bring him with us. We feel like he deserves more. Fee waived to a good home.

Story
Hugh was rescued from a kill shelter in CA. He is a big, happy goofball of over 100 lbs. He is very puppyish and loves to play. Hugh has been around kids and other dogs, and does fine. He seems to ignore the cats so we believe he will be OK with them. Hugh is mostly housebroken and is crate trained, and is learning to walk nicely on a leash. This guy would like an active home, but does know how to chill - he has done some training in a home environment so is well on his way to knowing his house manners. Hugh will make a great companion - he is a really fun boy!

Finn is a beautiful big boy of just over 2 yrs. He is housebroken and incredibly loyal. He has several weeks of professional training and knows his commands, including "place" and walks well on a leash. He's playful and athletic. Finn would like a stronger handler with breed experience. He can be protective of his people and home without proper guidance from his people. Finn has lived with another dog. He can be a bit dominant.

Story
EXCELLENT DOG ALERT! The lovely Heidy has arrived in Maine, and is looking for her perfect home! We rescued Heidy from the Moreno Valley Shelter in CA a couple of months ago. She went to the shelter because her elderly owners passed away. Heidy is only 3 yrs old and she is a big girl of 80 lbs. Unfortunately, her owners never gave Heidy a lick of any training, manners etc. Luckily a trainer out in CA had a spot for her while we waited for transport, so Heidy has learned her manners, and is now good on leash, and knows her commands! She was also well socialized, taken out in public etc. She has learned a LOT, and knows down, sit, stay, and shake. She is also crate trained! She is a smart girl! The trainer says Heidi has an excellent disposition, and is good with both male and female dogs. She is big and can be rambunctious, so she will be looking for an active home that will walk and hike with her! If you are an active and loving home and would like to open your home and heart to one of our dogs, please fill out our online application to get the approval process started. We will not schedule meet and greets without an approved app on file. Here’s the link: www.miraclegsdmaine.org PLEASE NOTE that we will call your vet to ensure all current and prior dogs have been kept up to date on rabies and distemper at a minimum as well as annual heartworm test and a minimum of 6 mos heartworm preventative purchased per year.

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.
