TANK

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 6 yrs 3 mos

Augusta, ME

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Story

Meet Tank!Do you enjoy going for a long sniff in the sunshine? So does Tank! Tank is a German shepherd who is big enough to require his own zip code, but other than that, he is a loving boy who is pretty good on leash despite his name. When Tank bonds with his people, like many German shepherds, he can become stressed when they are not around. A family with someone who works from home or has short hours might be the ideal match for him. Tank is a dog for someone who likes to skip going through the fuss of puppyhood and adolescence, but is not ready to adopt a senior dog. He is a dog who knows the drill of living in a home and may just need a few tweaks to be right for your home. Something Tank has already discovered is that he prefers to live in a home with adults and older children and does not want to share his people with any other animals. If you would like to meet this huggable lug, please stop by KVHS with all family members!Interested in meeting Tank? Swing on down to KVHS during available adoption hours!

Brutus

English Bulldog

Male, 11 yrs 2 mos

Augusta, ME

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet BRUTUS also known as BRUCE! Bruce may appear to be your loving sweet old man, but he is so much more. Not only will Bruce push your every button; he will also steal your entire heart. He is an 11 year old American bulldog mix. Life with Bruce is demanding and at times he is anything but an easy dog. However, if you have lots of love and patience Bruce will become the light of your life. Due to a medication Bruce is on he drinks a lot of water and has to go to the bathroom frequently. Whenever he wants something - he growls. I know, i know, that sounds crazy right? But he means no harm and no foul. It is simply how he communicates. It is much like caring for a crying baby - offer him water, food, a potty break etc and soon you will find the cause for his vocal communication. Bruce loves but rubs and scratches. He will walk over to you and push his bed up against you until you scratch him. He does well for his medicated shampoo baths but he does require a little payment of peanut butter on the wall. This dog is a car dog! He absolutely loves to ride! Bruce is a food hound. He will 110% steal food off of your counters if you do not put it away. All trash in the house needs to be covered and preferably in a pantry or behind a cabinet door as he will steal trash. Bruce gets along with most dogs however most dogs do not tolerate Bruce’s behaviors. Bruce likes to play in a very rough dominating way and unless the dog has a similar play style he usually finds himself in the doghouse with his canine friends. Bruce is 50-50 with cats. He seems to respect and befriend older cats but finds kittens and smaller cats tempting. Bruce will try to dominate your cats and other dogs especially hyperactive young male dogs. Bruce’s one MAJOR DISLIKE is shutting doors in his face. He is not one for physical boundaries and he is not accepting of humans putting body pressure on him. He will stand his ground however - if you grab a treat he will willingly follow you anywhere! Bruce’s ideal home would be a tolerant patient owner with experience in bully breeds. His owner would preferably work from home we’re not be gone longer than four hours during the day as he does require multiple potty breaks. He would prefer an owner who believes their dog should go where they go and an owner who will take him on frequent car rides. Bruce would also prefer to be the light of your life - therefore a house will little humans should con

Rooney

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 2 yrs

Augusta, ME

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Rooney!This dude loves nothing more than fun, playing, and socializing with people and other dogs! He`s a smart as a whip and picks up on stuff very quickly! He enjoys training and loves to show off his little prance when he gets something right! Rooney has been working on his leash manners, learning to sit (Which he is now a master at!), learning auto-sit to help keep his handler engagement, and learning to keep his paws (And mouth) to himself! When meeting new people, he gets extremely excited and forgets his manners (He has baby brain, what can he say!?) Rooney wouldn`t mind meeting future dog siblings. He is although no cats due to chasing them in the previous home. As for kids, 12 YEARS and up would be best suited for this high energy guy, though. When he gets the zoomies, he may accidentally take a kid down, he has no body awareness he also likes to sit on them and at 68lbs that could hurt a little one! Rooney also is in need of a home where someone is always with him, he can go to work with them etc. He has separation anxiety and is destructive when unsupervised, but luckily Rooney loves to ride and go on adventures. Rooney is currently looking for a foster-to-adopt home while he undergoes knee surgery. Come on down with the whole family (Including future dog siblings) to meet Rooney!

Story

Meet Neo, This adorable gentleman enjoys bestowing his love on all people he meets. He was the ambassador to our recent auction event and his friendly personality was put on great display. Additionally, he is a staff favorite, delivering many a daily kiss to his fans. Neo is looking for a home where at least one of his people are home most of the time. As he loves the car, he would also be a fantastic candidate for RV or van life! He would make the most loyal companion. He enjoys spending time with his people whether they are outside, or snuggled up on the couch.Not looking to change your carpets any time soon? Neo has a bladder like a rock; his house training hasn`t slipped a bit since he has been with us since May.Neo is taking several medications to manage his arthritis and his anxiety--these average about $40 for their monthly costs. If you are looking for a one and only animal to fawn over and spoil, Neo is looking to give the same back. If you are interested in Neo, please bring any human family members to meet him.

Story

Meet Forrest, We have seen so much growth in Forrest since he has been here. He used to enjoy bowling, with us being the bowling pins! Now instead of smacking down pins, we can enjoy the trails together, with the sunlight making our shadows long.Sometimes we stop for some butt pats, ear rubs and loving looks. Forrest is a special boy, with a lot of potential for the right handler. He has loyalty to give in spades, soulful eyes and Jolly Ball habit. Forrest is looking for a home where his main handler is physically and mentally strong. Forrest has only been used to having rules and boundaries for a short time and he has been very successful with them. He and his new family will be happiest if those continue.Forrest`s ideal home will be an adult-only one where he can shine without having to worry about any other animals interfering with his toys and food; he doesn`t like to share.Stop by and meet Forrest with any other adults that live in your home. German Shepherd experience is a plus and we would love to introduce him to you!
