Story
Hank is a pure bread Cane' hes gentle yet a family protector, he loves children and is very playful and full of energy. He enjoys being outside and is a great listener. Hes a snuggle king and loves attention. Hank just turned 3 years old and still acts like a puppy. This is extremely difficult to do as he is my baby, but new housing requires to much and Hank deserves more and to have attention and to be able to run and be a goodball.

Story
Newest update: November 2022 ​ ​ Becky is 8 yrs old but don’t tell her she’s looking for a retirement home because then she will tire out playing ball. her playing ball if you let her. We don’t think she has slowed down much at all, she is no couch potato! She is a beautiful 61-lb lab mix with a shiny coat and a desire for routine (and a ball!) Becky doesn’t love being crated but once she settles in we think she wouldn’t need one if she can be in a doggy proof area when you are not home. Becky is not kitty-friendly and she would prefer to live without other dogs because she likes her possessions and people to be just hers ; 0 ) If she’s out on a walk, she tolerates dogs just fine but doesn’t want to play with them. This girl can’t catch a break. She has been in and out of the rescue for far too long because of her dislike of chaos and kitties. Small children would not be a good match for Becky and frequent visitors or busy schedules are hard for her to adjust to. We think her ideal home has a fenced yard with one or two humans that don’t mind indulging her love for balls. Becky is staying with our friends at Kompletely K9 Dog Training and Rehabilitation and a new family would need to continue the training that has been set up for her so that she can be the fun and awesome girl that we know she is! ​ Here's a short video of pretty girl Becky: https://youtu.be/Bq6Vstv9CmU ​ ​ Interested in adopting Becky or any of our other sweeties? Check out our adoption application. ​ Please note: we do not have a physical facility where our dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England.

Story
Newest update: March 2024 ​ Fiona is a sweet sweet girl who prefers life as an "only child". She is learning all kinds of good skills with our friends at Kompletely K9 Dog Training and Rehabilitation and she's ready now to find love once again. ​ Fiona would love to get all the snuggles and have all the outdoor adventures that a sweet girl like her deserves. She is 7 years old and her DNA test was super crazy – black lab, american staffordshire terrier, greyhound, boston terrier and some other small percentages of mixed breeds. She is only 42 lbs so a perfect medium size. Fiona walks well on a leash with the right tools and will be a wonderful addition to the right family - one who has good leadership and is willing to have just one dog. A neighborhood crowded with dogs or an apartment setting would not be the best spot for Fiona, but if you want an alarm barker for your window station, Fiona is your girl! ​ Fiona likes her crate and goes there easily with one command. She has some great obedience skills, and some of her favorite things are running around the fenced yard, curling up on the couch near (or on top of) her person, and showing off her smarts! She has a collection of sweaters because she does not love the rain and cold. Fiona never has accidents inside and will happily accompany you outside. If a new person comes in, she can be wary at first but then will check them out and eventually give kisses. She has never had aggression with humans, but has had limited access to children and we would not place her with young, fast-moving kiddos. She hasn’t met a cat but we think she has enough prey drive that she would not appreciate a feline buddy, or they would not appreciate her ; 0 ) ​ Fiona enjoys going in the car but does better crated in the car. With good management she can tolerate being around other dogs but doesn't always appreciate sharing resources. Fiona had to come back into the rescue due to her family's changing health circumstances, and we know this sweet princess has so much love to give! If you are thinking of adding a wonderful pup to your life, please contact us about Fiona. ​ If you have interest in meeting this pretty girl Fiona or any of our cuties, fill out the adoption application. Please note: we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed. They are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England. It is our expectation that, once approved, a potential family will meet the dog(s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved. Thank you for considering rescue!

Whoever adopts Ben will be getting a GREAT and well-adjusted dog! ​ ​ Interested in meeting Ben or one of our other sweeties?

Story
foster or forever home needed Posted March 2024 ​ Lovie and Lolo are in need of wonderful families to foster and/or adopt them so we can get them out of their current situation where they are living in a pen outdoors in the south. The “indoor” dogs are not fans of other dogs so the family members, including the children, go out to play with them. They are 11 month old hound mixes and they weight approximately 50 lbs. They love other dogs and are great with kids and adults. ​ Lovie is the one with the heart-shaped spot on her side. If you have interest in meeting Lovie or any of our sweeties please fill out the adoption application. ​ Please note: we do not have a physical facility where out dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout Maine. It is our expectation that, once approved, a potential family will meet the dog (s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved. ​ Donations Contact Us Events Home Page Get Involved Partners Forms/Resources Adoptable Dogs
