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!

Story
osted March 2024 ​ This sweet love is 9 years old, approx. 45 lbs and is listed as a “terrier mix” but certainly appears to have some cattle dog or hound in there. Kovu was returned to our rescue 7 years after adoption due to changing family circumstances. He is working with our friends at Kompletely K9 Dog Training and Rehabilitation to gain some assessment and training under his belt. Kovu had a canine sister in his former home and they would hang out together while their mom was out of the home for work. Kovu exhibits some signs of separation anxiety so he may benefit from a family who has someone home more than not. Kovu has had some training evaluation and advice about his behavior and requires a strong leader to help him overcome some of the reactive behavior that he exhibits when out and about; this could be some overprotectiveness on his part and he is working on confidence and calmness, learning that he doesn’t have to be anxious or to be the leader. Kovu is a responsive and trainable guy who would do well with continued training and a good human leader. ​ If you have interest in meeting Kovu or any of our sweet pups, please 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 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.

Story
Posted March 2024 ​ Bitsy is a one year old bully breed mix who weighs approximately 50 lbs. She is great with other dogs and even likes cats. She is housebroken and crate trained. She would do best with older kids because she doesn’t realize how strong she is and might knock down a small child with her exuberance. There are no strangers in Bitsy’s world, she loves everyone she meets. She was found as a stray and luckily was saved by our southern rescue partners. When she was rescued she had a terrible case of demodex but with loving care and dedicated veterinary care she is all healed up and ready to roll. Interested in meeting Bitsy or any of our other sweeties? Check out our 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 Maine.

Story
Newest update: December 2024 Georgie is a beautiful one year old girl who came to us as an older pup with her mother and siblings. They all have been adopted and are doing well. Georgie has taken more time to come out of her shell and is now so comfortable with her family, you can see in the pictures that she loves the humans and dogs and their routine. Her foster mom works from home so Georgie is lucky to have very little alone time and she has a canine brother who has become her good buddy. Georgie's biggest needs will be a family that can work on building her confidence as new experiences can still a challenge for her. Georgie unfortunately gets car sick but Benadryl seems to help and we think in time, building up from short trips to good experiences will help with that. ​ Her foster mom says, " I love how sweet and gentle she is. She has this cute little face and she has one ear the points straight out to the side and the other flops over. She loves affection. She loves a lap to bury her face in and just wants you to cuddle. I love how she sleeps on her back with her legs either tucked in or out straight, she's such a good girl!" If you have interest in meeting Georgie or any of our cuties, please 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 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. Thank you for considering rescue!

Story
Posted August 2024 ​ Sometimes you just have to shake your head because you thought you had heard it all, and then this story comes across. Our southern rescue partners shared that a groomer they know had this happen: A handicapped Shih Tzu & her best friend (also a little Shih Tzu) were abandoned at the groomer. The owner brought them for grooming and then called and said take them to the shelter or open the door and let them go. Unbelievable ....Really!?! Snowy was badly matted, and had been attacked by a bigger dog. It permanently injured her back legs or a nerve in her back so sometimes she loses bowel and pee control. She has adorable incontinent pants to use, and she can walk and run with joy. She uses a doggie door and every time she goes out she will go to the bathroom, so it seems to be more of an issue when she is excited or playing. She is just 4 years old, and her life partner is Moses, a male who is 8 years old. He is the black and white dog in the pictures with the dapper bow tie . They are such sweet dogs and have had a rough life until they were rescued recently. It’s time to change things for the better for this pair of pals. We realize this pair will take a very special adopter given Snowy's condition and the fact that they need to be adopted together. We are sure the love and joy they will provide to their new family will be well worth it. The adoption fee for these furry friends is $500. If you have interest in meeting Snowy and Moses when they arrive, please 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 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. Thank you for considering rescue!
