Story
Seamus came to CVHS when his person was no longer able to care for multiple dogs in the home. This big fluffy boy LOVES being outside, no matter the temperature, and enjoys sniffing and patrolling our yards. He has done really well with everyone he has met here, and has a very gentle temperament. He hasn`t had any exposure to cats or kids, but feel he`d do just fine with kids over 6, with proper introductions. He was involved in a couple scuffles in his prior home, and has become reactive to the other dogs here, so we feel he would do best being the only pet in the home.Seamus loves to ride in the car, so as long as you can tolerate having the window down, he`d be happy being your traveling sidekick!Seamus is not potty-trained in our kennels, probably because he mostly lived outdoors at his prior home, so he will need consistent guidance to learn where to toilet appropriately.A 5-week Good Manners training course is included in Seamus` $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about him, and to determine if you should meet Seamus.

Story
Sheba Here's a very lovely lady, Sheba! This girl is all shepherd, and an amazing companion!!! Her paperwork says around 7 years old but my guess would be 4-6! She still has a ton of energy and puppy like antics. Sheba has been learning manners, like not jumping but is super gentle about it and will attempt to put her front paws on you but sometimes catches herself and hops up without touching! She is super good in her crate and always very content, not destructive at all, very good on leash, knows sit but is eager to learn all the new tricks (she looovee to roll over for belly rubs) ! Also been living with 3 very dog savvy cats and does super well with them, but when she gets bored she likes to follow them around. Sheba has been attending doggie daycare and does very good with all types of dogs, sometimes her shepherd ways do kick into over drive and does get obsessed with hanging off her friends, she would do best with another playful pup, or one that will just ignore her, she would also do just fine as a single pup as long as she has her humans to entertain her! The car riding thing she has gotten used too, likes to sit and look around but will lay down for longer trips! If you're looking for a loyal shepherd then Sheba is your girl, some shepherd experience would be a bonus!!! Fill out an application at pottersangelsrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Lolli! Lolli is ready to find her forever home! If you're an active family, looking for a loyal and energetic companion, Lolli might be the perfect fit for you! This sweet girl currently weighs about 60 lbs, is spayed, potty-trained and loves her crate! DNA testing and a training assessment have been done and the results are in! DNA Results: 25% German Shepherd 25% Alaskan Malamute 25% Siberian Husky 25% Poodle & Golden Retriever Assessment Notes from our trainer: Lolli is now 11 months old, excellent in the crate, good with other dogs that can "fairly" correct her.  From my time with Lolli, her biggest area that needs growth is her boundaries and self control. She was jumping a lot because of her over-excitement. She played well, and with enthusiasm. She is such a sweetheart and definitely still has that puppy energy and excitement. During play, she was gentle and easy to take toys from. She dropped the toys willingly and looked to me to continue the games. We started with fetch and moved to a game of tug. I asked for some obedience from her and showed her the value in checking in and looking at the handler - that went great. I asked similar obedience on our walk and had great responses. We also walked towards the main road and she had little to no interest in cars passing by. She saw a few neighbors and just casually continued her walk, she was in a harness and flat collar and didn't pull that much either. Seems to be reasonably environmentally stable, a trash can flipped up loudly on our walk and she wasn't phased, as well as neighbor dogs barking and just kept going. I believe she is in need of outlets for her energy, but not just a 10 mi walk, she needs to play, and use her brain, and that will allow her to make relationships and connections with the humans/handlers around her. She is an energetic young dog, so other dogs in the home would help outlet that social need, but I think constructive games with rules and boundaries are crucial to teaching her life skills on controlling and managing her enthusiasm and energy.  I personally did not see her exhibit her strong prey drive even though reported by her foster home. She was pretty easy to redirect when I was with her, or her foster mom handling her in the house. I know it was a short glimpse, but I take that as a positive. When she gets a hang of the household routine or rules, I'm sure she could thrive if someone gives her the patience and consistency a young dog needs. I also believe that constructive play is a great way to check a lot of boxes for Lolli, she will learn how to follow guidance, control her impulses, and burn energy all in one. She is so sweet and just needs an outlet for that energy that I understand has been a concern for some. For the safety of all involved, we are recommending Lolli go to a home without small animals or small children, with another dog(s) that can fairly show her the rules, and an owner who has the time and patience she deserves. Using play she enjoys can be a great way to release the energy and grow a strong and constructive relationship with the handler. (Our trainer is happy to help if need be.) A fenced in yard is strongly encouraged, and a good daycare could also be very helpful for Lolli’s success. We highly recommend training classes for all of our dogs to get everyone off to a great start. Training recommendations are available. Our adoption fee is $400 which includes age-appropriate vaccines (such as Distemper, Bordetella, Parvo, and Rabies), neutering, worming, microchipping, and health exam. Discount vouchers for training, grooming, and similar dog-related products and services are provided. Thank you for your interest in Lolli—she is a special girl!      February 10, 2025, 9:16 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Snowball is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, monthly preventatives, heartworm and tick disease tested negative and is microchipped with 24PetWatch. He has an estimated date of birth of September 2023 and at the beginning of August weighed around 60 pounds. We have no way of knowing the breed, it is up to individuals to look at the pictures and videos to make up their own mind. 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.    He does need an active family who will ensure he gets all the exercise, both mentally and physically that he needs to live a happy fulfilling life. SNOWBALL has an adoption fee of $300 Interested families are required to complete our application process and once approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue in SEBEC, Maine to meet and take home their new best friend. Our process takes 1-2 days as long as we are able to talk to references, so be prepared to be approved (hopefully) to adopt within a few days of submitting the adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. GEYRAN was saved and cared for by Muscat Dog Adoption, before sending her with other saved dogs to Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine. They arrived in the US on 28th January 2025 and were transported to the rescue where they are settling in. GEYRAN was cleared by the US canine center for diseases upon entry into the US. She is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, weighs around 56 pounds and has an estimated date of birth or 2 February 2021. She is a front leg amputee. Geyran is the  mother of Binky. GEYRAN's (Geeran) Story is that she rescued after her and her pups were shot. Sadly only one of her pups survived and Binky came to the US at the same time as her. Geyran had been a street dog and had her pups on the streets and managed for her family to survive, socializing with some nice locals for about a year before the shooting. She was shot twice in her leg which unfortunately did too much damage and her leg had to be amputated. She is an incredibly happy and social girl who loves everyone she meets. Stray dogs in Oman are referred to as "Wadi Dogs" and are a mix of the popular sighthound breeds, specifically thought to be descendents of the majestic Saluki and other smaller breeds, many resembling whippets with their small agile frames. If not saved these dogs are often shot or brutally ran over and left for dead. 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. GEYRAN is available for adoption for an adoption fee of $300, as noted she 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 precious girl home. 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.  Click here to watch a video of GEYRAN - Front Leg Amputee - $300.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 10, 2025, 5:56 pm
