Story
MADYSEN is a 4 year old, spayed female mixed breed (Lab/Terrier mix) who was transferred to Charley's from an overcrowded shelter in the South after she was found stray with another dog, possibly her brother. Her brother was adopted from the Southern shelter leaving Madysen behind. As Madysen was a stray, we have very little information about her past.Here is what we do know. Madysen is a very sweet girl who needs someone with patience and understanding to love and train her. She is a puppy in large dog's body. She is very strong and playful. She will need an adopter that will commit to a good deal of daily exercise all year round (running, hiking, playing in a fenced yard, possibly doggie daycare). She will also need positive reinforcement obedience training.As Madysen was found with another dog, she may do well in a home with another male dog of similar size and energy. She would not be a good match for small or senior dogs just due to her energy and play style.We have no information on how Madysen reacts to cats. As a result, a cat free home, or one that can initially separate cat from dog to do slow introductions, is required.Additionally, as part of the adoption process, any resident dog(s) will be asked to come to the shelter for a meet and greet.Due to lack of known history and Madysen's rough and tumble greetings, we are looking for an adult-only home with no children. One where someone is home more often than not would be ideal. Although we do not think she would intentionally injure a child, she is mouthy when she plays and also does jump up. She does not realize her size or strength.Madysen is spayed and up to date on vaccines. She tested negative for Heartworm and is on monthly prevention. She has been diagnosed with minor cherry eye. She has been examined by an eye specialist at Portland Specialty Care who said that surgery could cause more problems than it would solve. The recommendation was to leave it alone. She also receives over-the-counter eye drops as needed for allergies / eye redness.Please considering opening your heart and home to Madysen.*** IMPORTANT!***IMPORTANT As a “southern” dog and due to the high rate of heartworm infection in the warmer climates, it is critical that Madysen be kept on monthly heartworm prevention ALL YEAR LONG not just in the summer months. It takes 6 months for heartworm larva to turn into adult worms that then are visible on a heartworm test.Monthly prevention will kill any larva. Adoptive parents must commit to this prevention schedule as well as heartworm testing every 6 months for the first year and annually after that.Heartworm prevention costs about $120 a year. Compare that to treating a dog for heartworm (a deadly disease) an expense of thousands of dollars for a treatment that is dangerous and difficult for the dog.  ##2156793##

Labrador Retriever

Female, 5 yrs 3 mos
Benton, ME
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lucy is an adorable 5-year-old black Lab mix who weighs 31 lbs. She is a bright, cheerful, friendly, energetic dog who loves to run in the yard, go for walks, and explore the big, wide world. After lots of exercise, she likes to sit on the couch and lick your face while you scratch her. She hates to be ignored or left out of the fun things you are doing.When she was rescued, she was severely underweight, dehydrated, and suffering from a bad urinary tract infection and bladder stones. After surgery and antibiotics, she is now in excellent health. However, to prevent a recurrence of bladder stones, Lucy will need a special urinary care diet along with unrestricted access to clean water going forward.Lucy has become a mealtime superstar by quickly mastering and remembering multiple interactive food puzzles.Due to a history of neglect (starvation) Lucy wants to eat constantly. As a result, she may guard her food from other animals in the house. Potential adopters should be prepared to feed Lucy separately.  ##2156791##

Size

Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Laika is officially up for adoption here in Maine! If you remember our post, she was the dog that came from the vet’s office. The office where her owner brought her to be euthanized because one of their cats was no longer with them because of her (unsure how involved she was). As a back story, she lived with 5 other dogs. She wasn’t brought out a whole lot, and based upon her behavior…no one ever spent any positive time with her. When she first arrived, she was TERRIFIED. She bolted every second there was a sound. She had a harness and super tight collar on for the first week she was with us. She cowered ALL THE TIME. Fast forward to today. She is spayed and up to date with shots. She is still very timid. She has connected with me, and looks for me. She wags the tip of her tail. She wiggles now and bounces. She looks at things instead of bolting. I can take her out with a slip lead. She cuddles. It is now time for her to have a real home. Us keeping her isn’t an option as she needs so much more than a rescue home can give her. She needs to be loved. She needs to know that there are still good people in the world. She needs someone who will walk with her or spend time in a secured yard. She needs someone that can just hang out with her, teach her. Other dogs are still touch and go. After what she has been through, it’s understandable. Because she is 2 years old, there is so much growth that can happen if someone puts the time in. Absolutely no cats, no small animals, no small dogs period. No aggression behavior towards people has been shown.

Story
Meet Neo, KVHS longest resident dog!He may enjoy being the only animal in his home, but don`t let that stop you from checking him out! Neo is extremely smart and picks up on new things very quickly. He knows his name, sit, down, does well on leash, learning the start of heel, the `Find it` game with treats, and is always down to try and learn new tricks! He`s very food motivated. Neo`s ideal home would be an active family with children who are 10+ and one who is dedicated to continuing his training, helping him with his separation anxiety, and going on a lot of walks/adventures. He deeply enjoys being outside and using his nose to sniff around! Interested in meeting Neo? Swing on down with the whole family and ask about him!

Story
Bea`s name means ` bringer of happiness`. She will for sure bring nothing but happiness into your life! She walks well on a leash and loves everyone she meets. She is asking for a home without any other animals. Bea is still learning that not everything is food or in perhaps digestible. Bea`s story started at KVHS because she had unfortunately eaten something she wasn`t supposed too and led to an emergency surgery. Her ideal home would be a family that will teach her that not everything is food, Other than that, this vocal, bubbly girl is looking for her forever home! If you are interested in Bea please bring in all family members.
