Story
Maze is an amazing dog. She’s got a great personality, she loves everybody she meets and gets along with every dog she ever interacted with. She loves to be around people and listens well. She is a very high drive dog and needs a lot of exercise. Sometimes when she’s excited it might take a bit more patience to get the reaction wanted. Her recall is very good, we do a lot of off leash walks in the woods. She’s crate trained. She could still use a little bit of work on the leash, but she’s still very walkable. Maze would probably benefit from going in a family that already has a dog but will do just fine with a solo owner that’s willing to put more effort.

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $390 -Hi friends I`m Jane! I may be classified as a senior girl but I still have a big pep in my step. I am ready and willing to talk around the block with you and hang out in the yard enjoying the nice weather we`ve been having. I may use my voice when we meet and when I meet strangers but it`s due to excitement and nothing else! I am thrilled to meet friends everywhere and anywhere you bring me. (Of the human variety) I enjoy playing with a ball or stuffed animal when the occasion arises. I would do well in a home with cats and respectful children. I may even do well with dog siblings given our meet and greet goes well! I am looking forward to spending my golden years relaxing on the couch.

Story
Ahoy there, matey! I’m Pirate – a swashbuckling sweetheart with one mission: to steal your heart (and maybe your snacks). I’m a playful pup with a zest for life, but I do have a few quirks that make me more of a `hidden treasure` than a `party pirate.`Loud noises and sudden movements? They send me straight to Davy Jones` locker (okay, under the couch). Because of that, I need a calm, quiet crew – no tiny humans aboard, please! Cats? Let’s just say they walk the plank in my book.I love to play with my human crew – whether it`s a game of fetch or just running around like a goofball, count me in! When it comes to other dogs, I can be a bit of a scallywag though, so I’ll need to meet any canine shipmates first to make sure we can sail smoothly together.If you’re looking for a loyal first mate who’ll be your adventure buddy (and your shadow), then set a course to meet me. I might be a little nervous at first, but once I trust you, we’ll be a legendary duo. X marks the spot – and it’s right on your heart.

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $390 - Hi, I`m Raven! I am a large Pitbull mix looking for someone who will be patient with me. I am cautious with new people and will need someone to understand it may take me a little while to let my walls down. Once I do become comfortable in your presence I am a rambunctious, fun-loving, wiggly gal. You can tell I am part Pitbull with the booty wiggles when I see you! I prefer playing with balls over other toys so I am hopeful my new fam will have some waiting for me. A gal can dream. I enjoy going for walks and chilling on the couch. I am a good mix of both energetic and calm. I am looking forward to my next chapter and starting a fulfilling life with my people. - Raven will need a home with NO other pets, or young kids.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Mateo was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas  arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on 10 May 2025. We post our available dogs in states across the east coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes to find perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs, families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and then hopefully take home. Mateo is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, and in March 2025 weighed 25 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of December 2024.    We can not say for sure what the breed is, we expect families to decide looking at any pictures and video's provide and decide if the breed is a good fit for their family. This is what the shelter relayed from his foster family about this sweet boy: Meet Mateo – Your New Best Friend! Mateo is not just any dog—he’s the whole package wrapped in a wagging tail and a sparkling personality! This incredibly smart and confident boy is on the hunt for his forever home, and trust us, he’s a catch you don’t want to miss. Here's just a few things you’ll love about Mateo: Mateo 101: ·        Potty Prodigy: Mateo is fully potty trained—no mess, no stress! He’s a master of dog door excursions too! ·        Smarty-Paws: He’s got brains for days and loves to learn (especially if treats are involved—he's a *foodie*, after all). ·        Independent Spirit: While he loves your attention, Mateo is perfectly content investigating his surroundings and taking time for himself too. ·        Pack Player: Mateo adores being part of a dog pack. He thrives with his furry friends and knows how to fit right in. ·        Kid-Approved: Gentle and playful, Mateo is fantastic with children and would be the perfect addition to a family. ·        Obedient & Mischievous: A unique mix of well-behaved and cheekily curious—he’ll follow commands one moment and hilariously investigate your shoe collection the next. ·        Playtime Enthusiast: Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring the great outdoors, Mateo’s energy and enthusiasm know no bounds! ·        Sunbathing Aficionado: When the fun winds down, you’ll find him stretched out in a patch of sunlight, enjoying life’s little pleasures. Mateo’s foster family absolutely adores him and would keep him forever if they could—but they know he’s destined to make another family just as happy. Are you ready to meet this amazing pup and give him the loving home he deserves? We can’t wait for you to fall in love with him as much as we have. Mateo is available for adoption for an adoption fee of $550, as noted he is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine and families are required to complete and submit an  adoption application and when approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and hopefully take home this sweet boy.
