Story

This lovely girl is already here and looking for a place where she can lay her head down every night to rest and dream. If interested in adopting, fostering, or fostering to adopt Sadie please fill out an application here http://www.bestfriendsforlifeanimalrescue.com/ Sadie I'm thinking maybe we could rest and dream This world in not enough for me Sadie This may sound crazy but I don't always dream I just can't fall asleep without you I'm counting down the days since I've seen your smile, your face- from 'Sadie' by The Bunny The Bear. Sadie is a sweet 2 year old Shepherd mix weighing 55 lbs. She is already house and crate trained and is working on improving her leash manners. She can be a little shy at first but quickly resumes her sweet loving affectionate demeanor. She is good with other dogs. She has not been around cats so we are unsure how she would react to them. She made the road trip from a Kansas shelter to our rescue in CT quite well. Sadie is already spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, current on preventatives, and micro chipped. All she needs now is her very own forever loving family and home where the world will finally be a good place. Will you be the one who will give her a wonderful life where together you can rest and dream? Will you be the one who will always come back to Sadie?

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cruz was saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Wednesday 3rd August. We post our available dogs in states across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs — families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and, hopefully, take home their new best friend. Health & Background â Neutered â Rabies and core vaccines up to date â On monthly flea/tick preventatives â Microchipped âï¸ Weight: 60-70 pounds Estimated DoB: 13 February 2025 Give a Dog a Home Rescue suffered a devastating fire on 20 January 2026 losing the house and operations center of the rescue. Fortunately the kennel building was not affected by the fire, however, access to water and septic was lost making the kennels not useable. Many people stepped up to foster and a boarding and day care kennels in Bangor also reached out to offer to take some dogs and they took Cruz and his girl friends Clara Belle and Ryder Girl. In the middle of March they were picked up and brought to hang out with the surviving senior dogs and on 30th March CRUZ was lucky enough for our friends at More than Just Engraving in Bangor Mall, to pick him and take him for a few days to give him some adventures. This is the update on day one of his adventures with Jannet and her two and four legged family: Today Cruz will be hanging out at the store for a bit. So if you see a Frisbee flying, a tunnel with a dog (or human) going through or what appears to be a big stuffed dog laying still on the floor, come on in and say hi to Cruz (an adoptable dog through Give a Dog a Home Rescue ) He is sweet, goofy, smart and loves everyone! Yesterday he had quite an adventure. After leaving his new friends behind at our home we stopped at Dunkin for some human breakfast. He did not even beg for any from L while riding in the back with her. We popped into the store for a little bit where we tried some dog training toys and said hi to some mall walkers. Went to the 2 pet stores where we browsed. Cruz sniffed at products but never attempted to snag any. Headed to City Forest for a walk. He does so well on leash. Whenever another dog passed of course he wanted to say hi but we all easily controlled our pups and kept moving forward. After the walk we headed back home (Cruz fought sleep all the way home) to get the rest of the gang to go back to town for basketball practice and a board meeting. Cruz hung out in the store during the meeting, crashed hard at the closed gate and gave passerbys something to giggle about. Once back at home (an unfamiliar home prior to the night before when he came) he settled in, played with Sir Double , then crashed for the entire night. Cruz is so easy going, smart, listens well, easily redirected, loves snuggles and I think he has barked once in the almost 2 days he has been hanging with us. He is looking for his forever home and forever person. Please share my very long post CRUZ is a sweet love bug, he has so much affection, he loves to wrestle and chase with his friends and then snuggle up or hang out when they need to recharge their batteries. He loves everyone he meets and would be very responsive to training. With an active family he would thrive. What Cruz Needs ‍âï¸ An active family that can meet his physical and mental exercise needs Mental stimulation and enrichment — structure, toys, puzzles, and engaging activities ï¸ High-quality food and treats to keep him healthy and energized Regular veterinary wellness checks for preventive care and long-term health â¤ï¸ Time to adjust and feel safe — patience to decompress and build trust Adoption Details Adoption Fee: $550 Location: Sebec, Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sandy and her siblings were saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Wednesday 3rd August. We post our available dogs in states across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs — families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and, hopefully, take home their new best friend. Sandy is a Belgian Mal / German Shepherd Mix and it is important to understand that she is a high energy, intelligent girl so be sure you have the lifestyle that she needs to give her and you the best life possible together... note she is also a love bug and all round sweet, gentle girl - not the maligator people assume when they hear the name Belgian Mal. Health & Background â Spayed â Rabies and core vaccines up to date â On monthly flea/tick preventatives â Microchipped âï¸ Weight: 65 lbs ish Estimated DoB: 23 May 2025 After a devastating fire at the rescue on 20 January, SANDY went to a foster family in southern Maine on 24th January. This is what her foster family has said about her: Terra (aka Sandy) has been fostering with us for two months. She is such a loving soul and one of the sweetest pups you'll ever meet. Terra loves running and playing and taking walks with our dog, Apollo. Apollo was slow to accept her, but now that he has such a fun time playing with her in the yard, he has seemed to become much more tolerant of another dog in his house. Terra is crate trained. She sleeps well through the night without complaint, and plays with her chew toys if she wakes up before we do. During the day she'll spend 30-45 minutes crated off and on. She does so without being noisy now, except she does still protest if we have her crated when we are eating dinner. She does better if our dog is crated at dinner time with her, so it seems to be at least partially a competition/jealousy issue. She's got her basic commands down--come, stay, sit, lay down, and her release command 'break.' She walks nicely on a leash, although we do have some issues with pulling when she's walked along with another dog. She's calmer when she's walked on her own as she still gets more playful energy when she's with a canine friend. We had some peeing occur in the house the first 2-3 weeks, but she has done great with potty training and it's been more than a month since the last incident. Terra loves her toys and isn't choosy...she'll go from playing with a stuffy to nomming on a rope toy to chasing around a ball. While she has her bursts of playful energy, she has overall been calming down and having long periods where she chills out and and rests peacefully. It's been a pleasant evolution as now she is far more content to spend stretches of time laying next to me resting or chewing on a toy while I read or am at my desk. Terra has been waiting long months since arriving at Give a Dog a Home Rescue rescue in September to find a forever home with a family that will give her the love she deserves. If you can be that family, please apply to adopt What SandyNeeds ‍âï¸ An active family that can meet her physical and mental exercise needs Mental stimulation and enrichment — structure, toys, puzzles, and engaging activities ï¸ High-quality food and treats to keep her healthy and energized Regular veterinary wellness checks for preventive care and long-term health â¤ï¸ Time to adjust and feel safe — patience to decompress and build trust Adoption Details Adoption Fee: $550 Location: Southern Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire.

She is patiently waiting for her ticket out. She is a charismatic and highly social gal who has been to many adoption events and attracted tons of attention but still hasn't had any takers...

Story

Welcome Jack to CCPAL Rescue. Jack is a 4-month-old German Shepherd Pup. He weighs about 35 pounds and he has some really wonky ears. They should be upright sometime soon. He bonds very deeply to his human and follows her around everywhere. He is good in his crate and good with other dogs. He is smart and wants to learn. He is still very clumsy and very much puppy, even though he is pretty big. His dad was around 100 pounds. Jack may be 75 pounds full grown is our best guess. He was found on the side of the road that someone was giving them away or going to take them to the pound. CCPAL took the girl and the boy puppy. Our guess a breeder or something. Jack goes potty outside. He will take a bath but doesn’t like the blowdryer much. He has a medium length coat with some waviness on the hair near his back and back legs. He is a big baby boy, even if he does look like he will have a fierce look. He would be great with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Someone that doesn’t work all day everyday is best for a puppy. He needs to finish his puppy training and he also will be best in a home with someone that knows GSD need physical and mental stimulation to be happy. He is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.
