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
Say hello to Johnny 5, a 2-month-old Basenji puppy with a heart full of curiosity and a tail full of wiggles! This little guy is smart, alert, and already showing signs of that classic Basenji independence. He’s playful, affectionate, and always up for a little adventure—whether that’s a romp in the yard or inspecting every corner of your living room.Basenjis are a unique hunting breed known for their cat-like personalities, minimal shedding, and distinctive yodel-like bark (called a “baroo)! They are clean, intelligent, and energetic, but also independent and sometimes stubborn, so early training and socialization are essential.Basenjis require experienced, patient, and committed owners who understand their specific needs. We strongly encourage potential adopters to thoroughly research the breed before applying. Johnny 5 is going to be a smart and strong-willed adult who needs consistent mental and physical stimulation.Johnny will thrive in a home that appreciates his quirks, provides enrichment and structure, and most of all—loves him for the one-of-a-kind pup he is!

Story
Meet Kisses, an 8-month-old hound who is all about love, play, and adventure! This sweet, spirited boy has plenty of puppy energy and is sure to keep you on your toes. He’s a social butterfly who loves to spread affection with plenty of kisses—hence his name! Kisses has lived with several other dogs in the past, so he’s used to being part of a pack, but he would need a dog-to-dog meet and greet with any current dogs in the home to make sure they’re compatible.While we don`t have any history with kids or cats, we’re open to proper introductions to make sure Kisses finds his perfect match in a new family. Kisses comes from a very overcrowded home, and now he’s ready to leave the past behind and find a family who will invest time and patience into his training. If you`re looking for a lovable, lively companion who will always greet you with joy, Kisses might be the perfect fit for you!

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We are princes second home, his previous home was very abusive and has created defensive tendencies for Prince. He likes girls more than guys because he had a guy owner that was abusive. When we got him it took him about a week to get used to my mom and I. He is a quite aggressive dog but I’ve noticed that he matches the energy of the people he’s around. He is doggy pad trained but it’s been hard to train him to go to the bathroom outside while being busy. He has lots of energy and is very loving but needs an owner with lots of time to show him love and is able to have a good schedule with him. He isn’t used to being around other dogs, he tends to be aggressive with other dogs.
