Dogs for Adoption in Maine, USA

Posted Breed: Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 101.00. Sam was rescued from a SC shelter and is being fostered in Cumberland County, Maine. He is estimated to be 12 years old (but we believe he is younger, maybe 8 years), 12 lbs. He likes other dogs. He's really good on a leash. He's very well-behaved and he doesn't tug. He accepts his leash readily. He walks briskly too. He likes his crate. He sleeps well at night. It's like his safe spot. No messes in the crate either. We originally thought Sam was skittish but his foster brought him to work with him and he well. He loves food and treats (and even enjoys a hot dog or two). Sam can go up and down stairs with no issues. He can run super fast too. He loves to take walks and follow his foster around. Sam is neutered and microchipped. He is up to date with vaccines and tested heartworm negative. He is on flea and tick prevention. A vet said Sam had severe periodontal disease but his foster said his teeth look like what an older dog's teeth should look like. Sam is going to need that special family to provide him lots of love and care. He is Underhound's very special senior boy. For an adoption application, please go to UnderhoundRailroad.

Posted Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Collie / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 200. Please contact Jenny Cope (giveadogahomelive) for more information about this pet. ​Mikey was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas, where dogs generally have just 3 days to be saved before they are killed for space. Mikey is neutered, core vaccines, rabies, de-wormed, heartworm tested negative and micro-chipped. He has an estimated date of birth of 31 August 2016 and weighs around 50.00 pounds. He has been listed as a Cattle Dog / Collie We have no way of knowing the exact breed, so it is up to individuals to decide what breed they think is most likely. It is important to note that if you believe he does look like he has pit bull terrier in him, then several places have breed restrictions and some people can have a negative attitude towards the breed. MIKEY had finally found his forever family, but was not good with their cats and so he had to be returned to the rescue. MIKEY is NOT GOOD WITH CATS! Mikey is the sweetest boy, he is an active boy, but is so laid back. He is located in the kennel building and he will go outside in the run to do his business and to see what is going on outside, but when it isn't play time he settles down and relaxes enjoying chewing on his hoof. When Mikey arrived at the rescue it was winter and he really enjoyed the snow, being from Texas this was the first time he had experienced snow and he seemed to find it fascinating. Mikey is a really happy boy, he will run and play and then come back to check in before running off to explore a bit more. He is so sweet and loving, he loves to lean on you and get his head scratched or his belly rubbed. He wags his tail and goes to the gate to greet people when they go over to the kennels, he truly is just pure-sweetness. Mikey has been great with the dogs although he does have alpha tendencies and can be a bit of a bully at times, so that is important for a potential family to be confident with and understand dogs body language and personalities. Since being here at the rescue he has not shown any signs of aggression. We do not have cats at the rescue so cannot comment how he is with cats, however, I would think most likely a home without cats would be best. Mikey is great with adults and children, he is gentle, loving, he gets excited when it's time to play or to go for a walk or a ride in the car. He is very responsive and would be very easy and a lot of fun to train ​We do not recommend dog parks for several weeks, if not months, it is so very important for families and dogs to form a strong bond and get to know each other before exposing them to the potential dangers of dog parks. Although all GaDaH dogs are very well socialized with other dogs, lots of other dogs have not had the benefit of this socialization and do not always know how to play and act with other dogs. You also do not know the control the other families have over their dogs and you should always have a good recall for your adopted dog before going to dog parks. Mikey is full of energy and so a family with an active lifestyle is a huge bonus. He rode great in the car and was happy looking out of the window. He would benefit from lots of road trips and adventures, hiking, trips to the lake, the beach and anywhere that he can burn off some of his energy and enjoy the sights, smells and sounds the world has to offer. He will need a family that understands the importance of training and we encourage all families to work on basic and advanced training as a family so that boundaries and expectations can be set and both Mikey and his humans can learn each others body language and personalities and form a stronger bond and understanding of each other. Mikey is available for a REDUCED ADOPTION FEE of $200 ​ This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.

Sweet Rhett is a 2 year old, 13 pound Pomeranian mix He has many physical characteristics of a pom (he is not double coated and has a slow growing coat), but other breeds he is mixed with are a mystery. He is a well behaved, well mannered little guy. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys play time as well as his toys. Rhett also loves to be with his person and will follow along like a shadow. He doesn't need to sit on your lap, although he will if invited. Rhett appears to have been fed at the human table, and is slowly getting used to a proper kibble diet. He is a bit underweight, and could stand to gain a few pounds. We will not place this little man in an apartment or condo setting as he does bark at strange people (or their noises) at least for a couple of minutes and then wants to be friends, and this could be a problem in shared type living arrangements.

Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Please contact Jenny Cope (giveadogahomelive) for more information about this pet. TOBIE -GIRL was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas with her pup where dogs have just 3 dogs to be saved. TOBIE-GIRL is spayed, core vaccines, rabies, de-wormed, heartworm and tick disease tested negativeq and micro-chipped. She has an estimated date of birth of 5 June 2015 and at the time of rescue at the beginning of December 2018 weighed around 46.00 pounds. She is listed as a German Shepherd Mix.

Tobie-Girl is extrememly bonded with Nyx, however, having been at the rescue since the middle of December it is not good to keep them here in hopes that someone will eventually want to love them both, so it has been decided that we will find a home for Tobie-Girl and then one for Nyx, but of course still welcome anyone wanting to adopt them both. Tobie-Girl does use the dog door to go in and out, although she might not know to let you know that she needs to go out, so a few accidents should be expected in her transition period into her new home, life and routine. Tobie-girl is a mellow, gentle girl, well mannered and very loving. She is high energy and will need an active life-style. Going on adventures, hikes, treks, walks and of course road trips for new adventures. ​We do not recommend dog parks especially with him being so young for several months, it is so very important for families and dogs to form a strong bond and get to know each other before exposing them to the potential dangers of dog parks.

Posted Breed: Labrador Retriever / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Please contact Jenny Cope (giveadogahomelive) for more information about this pet. CAREY was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs have just 3 dogs to be saved. Carey is spayed, core vaccines, rabies, de-wormed and micro-chipped. She has an estimated date of birth of 14 July 2018 and at the time of rescue at the end of September 2018 weighed around 10.00 pounds, but has obviously grown since then. She is listed as a Lab/pit mix . We have no way of knowing the exact breed, it is up to individuals to decide what breed they think is most likely. Carey is a young an energetic, happy-go-lucky confident young girl, she is great with the other dogs of all ages and sizes, living amongst dogs from 6 pound chihuahua's up to 120 pound German Shepherd Dogs. She is friendly and happy to greet people and will bark when she notices something she is unsure of. She is a social girl and loves to explore and when ready to rest she curls up with her friends in front of the pellet stove keeping toasty warm. She is always happy to see people and runs in with the other dogs, tail wagging. She is young and active and will need a family that can give her a good active life, suitable for his size. She is a puppy so chewing, barking / whining when left alone and needing house training are things to take into consideration. I have not seen her with children, but her demeanor and personality I have no doubt that she would be great with them and a lot of fun too. Since she is used to being around a lot of dogs, we really prefer that she be adopted to a family who either wants to adopt another puppy or dog, who already has another dog, or who can provide a lot of socialization for her with other dogs. She could be scared and lonely and will be missing her pack family. She is obviously a puppy and so expect to work with her on puppy things. She needs an active family and one that will keep her mind stimulated and challenged. Lots of hikes and adventures, training tricks, or agility, dock diving or other fun, active, stimulating activities would be perfect for this girl. As with all rescue's she needs guidance and training and we recommend families go through at least the basics of training with her themselves so that boundaries, personalities and body language can be learned from each other. ​We do not have cats or livestock at the rescue so we cannot say how she would be around them. She is great with humans and children. ​We do not recommend dog parks especially with him being so young for several months, it is so very important for families and dogs to form a strong bond and get to know each other before exposing them to the potential dangers of dog parks.

Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Belgian Shepherd Dog Sheepdog / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Please contact Jenny Cope (giveadogahomelive) for more information about this pet. DA-HEI was saved from the legal meat trade in China in the Beijing area. He, his 10 siblings and mother were saved by a wonderful rescue lady in China and together we are working on getting them all to the safety of GaDaH-CHINA in Sebec, Maine. We pay to get these dogs vetted, tested, quarantined and all other requirements to import them to the safety of the rescue in Sebec, Maine. The adoption fee's vary slightly depending on the weight and size of the dogs. DA-HEI adoption fee is US $550 and covers the costs we incur to save these precious souls. DA-HEI has been through the export and import quarantine requirements from China to the US. He has his rabies, core vaccines/lepto, heartworm, tick-disease and screw worm tested negative. He has been de-wormed, micro chipped and received any necessary monthly preventatives. He has an estimated date of birth of 2 January 2018 and he weighs around 25.6 pounds. His mother we believe is a Belgian Shepherd and so he is most likely a Belgian Shepherd Dog Mix, we have no idea what breed the father is. It is up to you to look at him and decide what breed you think he could be. He arrived in the United States on 23rd August 2018, landing at JFK and then was driven up to the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We are looking for families with knowledge of experience of working breed needs to ensure they get a good balance of mental and physical exercise. DA-Hei is a cautious boy, but once he has gained trust and feels safe he is very affectionate and loving. He likes to climb on your knee, or snuggle up on the bed, but has always been with his siblings. He will need time to get used to new people and new places, but once trust has been gained he is a great all round boy. WE DO NOT HAVE CATS OR LIVESTOCK AT THE RESCUE SO ARE UNABLE TO COMMENT ON HOW HE WILL ACT NEAR OR AROUND THEM. He does use the dog door to get in and out and does go outside to do his business. I do not know if he would let you know he needs to go out since he has 24/7 access to the outside, but he is extremely smart and do not think it would take long to learn, so a few initial accidents in his new home whilst he adjusts and gets used to his new routine and has his family teach him to let them know he wants to go outside should be expected. Until arriving at GaDaH, he had never been an inside dog. He would benefit from a family who understands the importance of mental stimulation as well as physical exercise. As with all rescue's he needs guidance and training and we recommend families go through at least the basics of training with him themselves so that boundaries, personalities and body language can be learned from each other. He rides good in the car, but has only been with his siblings, never has he been alone. He gets on good with other dogs and would benefit from the companionship in his transition, so a family with another dog would be great, however, if that is not the case, then play-dates with other dogs would be extremely beneficial for him. He needs an active family and one that will keep his mind stimulated and challenged. Lots of hikes and adventures, training tricks, or agility, dock diving or other fun, active, stimulating activities would be perfect for this boy when his confidence and trust has been gained. Although I have not seen him with children, given time and space his demeanor and personality I have no doubt that he would be great with them and I am sure they could keep each other entertained for many hours.​Throughout all that this beautiful soul has been through, he has not once shown any kind of aggression. DA-HEI is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue which is located in Sebec, Maine, for an adoption fee of $1,200. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the extensive costs of vetting, quarantine requirements, documentation, flights and such to get him from China to Sebec, Maine. We post in other states and in Canada to ensure our saved dogs get as much exposure as possible and the perfect families are found. Canadian adopters need to know that customs charge 15% taxes when entering into Canada. Adoptive families MUST travel to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and dog they are interested in adopting and if all goes well, take him/her home with them to start their new wonderful life.​ Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue 187 Downs Road, Sebec, Maine, 04481 giveadogahomelive PAYPAL - giveadogahomelive All pets adopted will be spay/neutered, micro-chipped, de-wormed,heartworm tested, rabies and relevant vaccinations.

I just have to work on an appointment basis as I run a boarding/day care business and the rescue and so am really busy, but by planning ahead of time I can be pretty flexible. .giveadogahome-sanantonio/adoption-application.html
