Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.BUDDY-Boy was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas and and  arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Friday, 14th February. 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 to meet and then hopefully take home. BUDDY-Boy is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, and on 12 February weighed 75 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of December 2023.  We do not know 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. The shelter volunteer state that he did well and walked on the leash, he is a sweetheart, met the volunteer at the front of the kennels and rolled over for belly rubs and then leaned as hard as he could into the kennel gate for pets. Entering the kennel he proceed with the same behavior. Absolute love. When coming out of the yard he went straight over to the other dogs greeting them and afterwards he would start running but would stop and mingle with the dogs and after he would have some rough play but sometimes be too pushy and ignore corrections from other dogs. (Rescue comments - it is important to take into account when reading these comments that these dogs are in a strange environment with a lot of dogs, and they are learning about each other in a very small space of time, it is high stimulation environment. Comments are from volunteers, not trainers or behavio rists). We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks. BUDDY-Boy 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.

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 to meet and then hopefully take home. KODA is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on flea/tick prevention and was given the 12 month pro-heart heartworm prevention injection in February 2025. He is microchipped and on 12 February weighed 54.40 pounds. He has an estimated date of birth of December 2022. We do not know 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. The shelter volunteer stated that Koda began to wag his tail when he saw them in front of his kennel. He took treats from them still wagging his tail. His eyes were friendly and his body was relaxed. He had a very friendly demeanor. A volunteer took him to a play group and said he was quick to join play with others and very pushy and obnoxious with his energy towards others. Would run and roughhouse with others that can keep up with his energy. Needed to be corrected due to getting too into play and being too pushy and excited with others at times.   (Rescue comments - it is important to take into account when reading these comments that these dogs are in a strange environment with a lot of dogs, and they are learning about each other in a very small space of time, it is high stimulation environment, also often the first time they have had exercise with other dogs.

Story
Ace is a magnificent German Shepherd mix who was recently saved off the Euthanasia list at a high kill shelter in the south. He is quite large and long legged, though still a bit thin, with his head about hip high with a beautiful multi-color coat. He loves the outdoors and is getting used to the northern weather! Ace is young and still full of energy and very playful. He would do well with a strong and active owner or family that is willing to give him all the exercise and love he needs and deserves. If you are looking for big, beautiful, strong and active, dog who can be your forever companion, please contact Village for Paws Rescue at villageforpawsrescue@gmail.com for more information or to fill out an application to adopt or foster to adopt Ace!
