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 7 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##

Laika

Labrador Retriever

Female, 2 yrs 11 mos

Vassalboro, ME

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

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.

Raven - In Foster

Labrador Retriever

Female, 1 yr

Lewiston, ME

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Raven, a vibrant and energetic dog with a heart full of playful puppy spirit! She`s got the enthusiasm of a young pup, even though she`s nearing her first birthday. This means she`s still learning the ropes and needs a patient, experienced home to help her grow.Raven is a special girl who needs guidance on boundaries and gentle mouthing - she`s already making great progress! Her jumping skills are Olympic-level, and while she`s learning `four on the floor,` consistent training will be key. She`ll thrive in a home with at least one confident dog who will set healthy boundaries. It took her a little while to warm up to her foster family`s dogs, but now she`s part of the pack! While she hasn`t been tested with younger children, dog-savvy kids aged 10+ might be a good fit. She`s surprisingly respectful of cats, even a little intimidated by them!Raven’s looking for an active family who will help build her confidence by providing plenty of mental and physical stimulation. And be prepared for some hilarious water adventures! Raven LOVES to play in water and mud. Be warned, she sometimes mistakes her water bowl for a swimming pool! Raven is crate-trained, housebroken, walks well on a leash, knows her name, and has a few other tricks up her sleeve. She`s a quick learner and eager to please. Raven is not recommended for first-time dog owners. She needs an experienced dog owner who understands puppy behaviors and is committed to consistent training. If you`re ready for a fun-loving, energetic companion who will keep you on your toes, Raven might just be the one for you. Please fill out the adoption application and our team will be in touch to discuss more about Raven. We request that all people and dogs living in the home be here for meet and greets for Raven. We will also need to schedule a time with her foster to make sure she is here to meet you! We’re anxious to help make her match!

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Sorrel came to us with his sister Tulip after a tornado caused some pretty significant damage to our town. He was lucky and was not injured like her! Sorrel would be such an awesome dog to train! He’d be a great working dog of some sort! Here he is sitting and waiting before thresholds. While I don’t have the time to do this with every single dog, it’s always amazing when I have time to work with some of them! Sorrel is one of my favorites to train— he’s highly food and toy motivated and learns really fast! I’m NOT a professional dog trainer (as you can see his “heel” isn’t very well-placed) but any kind of basic obedience is better than none! Sorrel can be wild at times, but during our short training sessions, he is always focused and eager to please!!

Story

Sharky would love a home where he can spend some time outside with his people! He would do best in a home without cats, but he’s good with other dogs and people. He would love a comfy bed for his nap time and a nice little pool in the summer! But he’s not picky, as long as he’s loved and cared for, he will give that love back tenfold!

Story

Tink tink got his name from the sound of his splint when he walked. He came to us hit by a car, and he is now completely healed in every way! WHY IS OUR SWEET TINKTINK STILL HERE?! Tink Tink is the goodest boy you can find. He’s great with other dogs and loves people. He is the perfect balance of active and chill— he would love to go out hiking or to have a lazy day! He’s often overlooked because of his “plain” appearance, but he is anything but. He’s so loving and loves everyone he meets, and also has a silly side that will brighten up your days! He’s a friend to strangers, but his person will have his complete heart. He’s great on and off leash and LOVES being dressed up for the camera (as you can see.) We do prefer Tink Tink goes to a home with no cats, as he’s shown some prey drive towards them. But he’s eager to please and is so easy to work with. Please share Tink Tink to find his person— he’s been waiting too long! If you are interested in fostering or adopting Tinktink, please email wynnefoa@gmail.com

Story

Black Dog and Mystery need a home where their special bond will be accepted with open arms! They are a bonded pair that must stay together! Mystery, as her name implies, baffles us with her odd ways and behaviors. Though she loves our company and spending quality time with us, she doesn’t like physical affection and is terrified in new situations. Black Dog is her rock. They spend every moment together. Black Dog is a lazy guy, though he loves leisurely walks and exploring. Mystery is a bit more active and playful— she LOVES playing fetch! Black Dog does need a healthier diet and exercise balance that is hard to require in a shelter. We are trying though! Though Mystery is odd, she’s such a great dog and will make you laugh! These two have a lot of love to give and are waiting for their home. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Black Dog and Mystery, please email wynnefoa@gmail.com We'd prefer them to be the only dogs in the home just because they share such a strong bond!
