Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $390 - This is Noodle! Noodle is a hyperactive, young stud muffin looking for someone to take him on fun adventures and to check off those bucket list activities. Even though Noodle came in as a stray, we do know he had a rough start to his life. He was emaciated when he arrived at the shelter. He has shown incredible improvement in his overall health and is finally ready to find his home. His friends at the shelter are excited to see Noodle get the best care possible with his new family. He is a dog that definitely has springs in his back legs, has never heard the term `personal bubble`, can use his mouth when playing, and is in need of some training. Especially in the manners department. He missed the memo it isn`t polite to jump up and lick people in the face. He is a fella that appreciates a good squeaky toy and daydreams of a backyard to explore and play in. If you think this larger than life go getter is a good fit for your energy levels please come to the shelter to meet with him! - Noodle will need a home without young kids.

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
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $390 - Hi I`m Sawyer. I am a terrier mix. Mixed with what? Who knows. Heinz 57? Likely. I am definitely wiry and have eyebrows for days. I am the type that doesn`t understand personal space and you can count on me hopping into that lap and shaking when I am introduced to new places. I am lacking in the confidence department and would appreciate if my new people help me to become less afraid of my surroundings. I will turn to you for guidance and direction so I am hopeful we create a good bond and you know how to help me thrive. While at the shelter I have displayed immense joy for squeaky toys. Maybe it`s the terrier in me. Maybe it`s because the squeak taunts my every move. Either way I am as sharp as a tac and wont allow the squeaky toy a chance to get a leg up on me. When I am playing I can become grabby so watch those fingers of yours. I may accidentally grab ahold. I would do well with kids and other dogs as long as they are on the calmer side. No cats however. I am an eager beaver to meet you and find my family I get to grow old with. - Sawyer is a high energy dog and would be best suited in a home that can keep up with his rambunctious energy!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Pico was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas  arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine at the end of April. 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. Pico is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, and in March 2025 weighed 9 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of February 2021.    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: Pico is a wonderful 4-year-old, 9-pound ball of love who has been an absolute joy to foster! He’s the perfect balance of affectionate and independent. Pico is great with both dogs and kids, making him an ideal companion for a family of any size. He’s housebroken and has a great energy level—not too laid back, but not overly crazy either. He enjoys his playtime but is equally content just hanging out and getting some belly rubs or lounging in your lap. Pico is also very tolerant when it comes to dress-up, which is a cute bonus! He loves attention and cuddles, but he’s also happy to do his own thing when the mood strikes. If you’re looking for a dog with a sweet, affectionate nature who can also entertain himself independently, Pico would be a perfect fit for you! Pico 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. Applications are processed with 24 hours of them being received. Link to the Adoption Application To look at lots more photo's be sure to check out our        Facebook Page ALBUMS        where we are able to upload hundreds of photos of our dogs waiting for their forever homes and families.
