Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Tide and his siblings were saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Wednesday 3rd August.  We post our adoptable dogs across the East Coast and Canada so we can reach as many amazing adopters as possible and match each dog with their perfect home. Please note: We do not transport dogs. Approved adopters will schedule an appointment for a meet-and-greet at People 'n' Pets, Freeze Dried Goodies & Gear in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, where you’ll get to meet Tide in person — and hopefully take home your new best friend. If you think Tide might be “the one,” we’d love to hear from you! Health & Background &#226&#156&#133 Neutered &#226&#156&#133 Rabies and all core vaccines up to date &#226&#156&#133 Heartworm/Tick 4DX test: Negative across the board &#226&#156&#133 On monthly flea/tick preventatives &#226&#156&#133 Microchipped &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: potential 50-60 pounds Estimated DoB: 23 May 2025 Meet Tide Tide is truly an amazing boy. He has a full package of looks, personality, and yes — he’s a master manipulator! Even after multiple visits to the emergency hospital in Southern Maine, all the staff fell in love with him. One vet even emailed his information to a colleague in New Hampshire just to share what a special pup he is. Medical Background As a young puppy, Tide developed weakness in his legs and, at one point, couldn’t stand or walk. After several trips to the emergency hospital and various treatments, he was diagnosed with two growth-related bone conditions: Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD) and Panosteitis. Panosteitis (sometimes called “growing pains”) is a temporary, painful inflammation of the long bones that affects young, fast-growing dogs, particularly large-breed mixes like Tide. Symptoms include shifting lameness and discomfort in the legs. Panosteitis is self-limiting, meaning it usually resolves on its own as the dog matures, typically by 18–24 months. Treatment focuses on managing pain and rest during flare-ups. Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD) is another painful bone condition seen in fast-growing puppies. It can cause fever, swelling, thickened bones, lameness, and general discomfort. The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but genetics, nutrition, and infections may all play a role. Most dogs improve as they finish growing, and severe cases are treated with medications, rest, and sometimes hospitalization. Surgery is rarely needed. Tide is currently on prednisone to manage inflammation and pain, and he is thriving! Prednisone is generally used during flare-ups or when symptoms are more pronounced. As he grows and his bones stabilize, he may not need medication continuously — likely only intermittently for temporary stiffness during growth spurts. By around 2 years old, he is expected to be completely done with active symptoms from both conditions. Even when he couldn’t walk as a puppy, Tide’s sweet personality shone through. He would drag himself around to enjoy attention from vets and staff, and now he’s a playful, confident, and mischievous pup. He sometimes gets a little stiff during growth spurts, but these flare-ups are temporary, and he responds well to medication and rest. Personality & Temperament Tide is a gentle, loving, and affectionate pup. He’s full of confidence and mischief, loves attention, and thrives in an active environment. Despite his medical history, he is playful, curious, and completely puppy at heart. He enjoys interacting with people and other dogs, and he’s always ready to bring joy and energy into his home. Best Buddies Tide is inseparable from his sister Robin. Whether cuddling up for naps or getting into mischief, these two are always together. We would love to see them adopted as a pair so they can continue sharing adventures and companionship in their forever home. Adoption Details Adoption Fee: $550 Location: Sebec, Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire. Once approved, you’ll be invited to schedule an appointment to meet Tide. &#226&#143&#177&#239&#184&#143 Applications are generally processed within 24-48 hours Click here to complete the Adoption Questionnaire Want to See More of Tide?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bart was saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Wednesday 3rd August. We post our available dogs in states across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs — families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and, hopefully, take home their new best friend. Health & Background &#226&#156&#133 Neutered &#226&#156&#133 Rabies and core vaccines up to date &#226&#156&#133 On monthly flea/tick preventatives &#226&#156&#133 Microchipped &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 22 lbs (mid July) Estimated DoB: 23 March 2025 * * BART went to a wonderful FOSTER family in Howland, Maine, (who adopted two pit mixes from GaDaH over the years) on September 2025 Foster Family Update - November 2025 BART: At just now 8 months old, Bart the Belgian Malinois is already a legend in our home. Equal parts genius, goofball, and cuddle bug. Bart is the kind of dog who makes you laugh, impresses you daily, and melts your heart with a single look; especially if you’ve forgotten his mandatory snout kiss. From the moment he arrived, Bart showed us he’s no ordinary pup. He’s the smartest dog we’ve ever fostered, lightning-fast to learn commands, eager to please, and always watching with those expressive eyes that seem to say, “What’s next, coach?” We lovingly call him our “soldier dog” because once he bonds with you, he’s loyal for life. My favorite trick I’ve taught him? “Walk”, where he trots beside you, eyes locked on yours, like a tiny four-legged bodyguard. Bart is fully house trained and he has a hilarious habit of “karate chopping” you awake if he thinks you’ve overslept. He thrives on stimulation. Whether it’s romping in the yard or going to town on a heavy-duty chew toy. Boredom is not in his vocabulary. He’s also a master of facial expressions. One minute he’s giving you side-eye for withholding kisses, the next he’s pulling a goofy grin that makes you forget whatever you were doing. He’s a total ham. Bart gets along great with our dogs after a slow and thoughtful introduction. He’s gentle and playful with kids (ages 6 and 14), and while we’re not sure how he’d do with cats, his sensitive side suggests he’d be more curious than confrontational. He does have one quirk: loud noises like dropped objects or slamming doors can startle him enough to cause a little accident. But with time, patience, and love, we’re confident he’ll outgrow it. If you’re looking for a dog who’s whip-smart, endlessly entertaining, and fiercely devoted, Bart is your guy. He’ll challenge you, charm you, and love you with everything he’s got. Honestly, we don’t want to let him go, but we know he’s destined to be someone’s perfect forever dog. One Week Foster Update Bart is a stunning 6-month-old Belgian Malinois mix with a heart of gold. He’s the absolute sw est little man, and he’s perfected a few moves to get your attention. He’ll do what we call his "sweet face," sticking his nose up and giving you a side-eye until you give him a good ear scratch.   But if that doesn't work, he’ll try his "double-tap"—putting one paw on your lap, and then both paws, all while making his cute pointed puppy face. Bart is as smart as he is adorable. He's already mastered several tricks with us and, with the right dedicated family, he’ll be a quick study for even more.   This playful pup is a big fan of soccer balls and LOVES romping around with his foster siblings. He will happily take a treat as a reward, but love and affection is his ideal reward.   As a young Malinois mix, Bart is a higher-energy dog who needs plenty of outdoor time, so we take him out for 10-20 minute sessions three to four times a day. At least until he learns his new families routine. He’s a perfect mix of couch potato and running partner; he’ll happily nap with you indoors but is also ready to run around if you are.   Bart will thrive with a devoted family who understands his need for both mental and physical exercise. He’s ready to give his whole heart to the right people. What Bart Needs ‍&#226&#153&#128&#239&#184&#143 An active family that can meet his physical and mental exercise needs Mental stimulation and enrichment — structure, toys, puzzles, and engaging activities &#239&#184&#143 High-quality food and treats to keep him healthy and energized Regular veterinary wellness checks for preventive care and long-term health &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Time to adjust and feel safe — patience to decompress and build trust   Adoption Details Adoption Fee: $550 Location: Sebec, Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire. Once approved, you’ll be invited to schedule an appointment to meet Bart. &#226&#143&#177&#239&#184&#143 Applications are generally processed within 24-48 hours Click here to complete the Adoption Questionnaire Want to See More of Bart?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bart was saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Wednesday 3rd August. We post our available dogs in states across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs — families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and, hopefully, take home their new best friend. Health & Background &#226&#156&#133 Neutered &#226&#156&#133 Rabies and core vaccines up to date &#226&#156&#133 On monthly flea/tick preventatives &#226&#156&#133 Microchipped &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 22 lbs (mid July) Estimated DoB: 23 March 2025 * * BART went to a wonderful FOSTER family in Howland, Maine, (who adopted two pit mixes from GaDaH over the years) on September 2025 Foster Family Update - November 2025 BART: At just now 8 months old, Bart the Belgian Malinois is already a legend in our home. Equal parts genius, goofball, and cuddle bug. Bart is the kind of dog who makes you laugh, impresses you daily, and melts your heart with a single look; especially if you’ve forgotten his mandatory snout kiss. From the moment he arrived, Bart showed us he’s no ordinary pup. He’s the smartest dog we’ve ever fostered, lightning-fast to learn commands, eager to please, and always watching with those expressive eyes that seem to say, “What’s next, coach?” We lovingly call him our “soldier dog” because once he bonds with you, he’s loyal for life. My favorite trick I’ve taught him? “Walk”, where he trots beside you, eyes locked on yours, like a tiny four-legged bodyguard. Bart is fully house trained and he has a hilarious habit of “karate chopping” you awake if he thinks you’ve overslept. He thrives on stimulation. Whether it’s romping in the yard or going to town on a heavy-duty chew toy. Boredom is not in his vocabulary. He’s also a master of facial expressions. One minute he’s giving you side-eye for withholding kisses, the next he’s pulling a goofy grin that makes you forget whatever you were doing. He’s a total ham. Bart gets along great with our dogs after a slow and thoughtful introduction. He’s gentle and playful with kids (ages 6 and 14), and while we’re not sure how he’d do with cats, his sensitive side suggests he’d be more curious than confrontational. He does have one quirk: loud noises like dropped objects or slamming doors can startle him enough to cause a little accident. But with time, patience, and love, we’re confident he’ll outgrow it. If you’re looking for a dog who’s whip-smart, endlessly entertaining, and fiercely devoted, Bart is your guy. He’ll challenge you, charm you, and love you with everything he’s got. Honestly, we don’t want to let him go, but we know he’s destined to be someone’s perfect forever dog. One Week Foster Update Bart is a stunning 6-month-old Belgian Malinois mix with a heart of gold. He’s the absolute sw est little man, and he’s perfected a few moves to get your attention. He’ll do what we call his "sweet face," sticking his nose up and giving you a side-eye until you give him a good ear scratch.   But if that doesn't work, he’ll try his "double-tap"—putting one paw on your lap, and then both paws, all while making his cute pointed puppy face. Bart is as smart as he is adorable. He's already mastered several tricks with us and, with the right dedicated family, he’ll be a quick study for even more.   This playful pup is a big fan of soccer balls and LOVES romping around with his foster siblings. He will happily take a treat as a reward, but love and affection is his ideal reward.   As a young Malinois mix, Bart is a higher-energy dog who needs plenty of outdoor time, so we take him out for 10-20 minute sessions three to four times a day. At least until he learns his new families routine. He’s a perfect mix of couch potato and running partner; he’ll happily nap with you indoors but is also ready to run around if you are.   Bart will thrive with a devoted family who understands his need for both mental and physical exercise. He’s ready to give his whole heart to the right people. What Bart Needs ‍&#226&#153&#128&#239&#184&#143 An active family that can meet his physical and mental exercise needs Mental stimulation and enrichment — structure, toys, puzzles, and engaging activities &#239&#184&#143 High-quality food and treats to keep him healthy and energized Regular veterinary wellness checks for preventive care and long-term health &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Time to adjust and feel safe — patience to decompress and build trust   Adoption Details Adoption Fee: $550 Location: Sebec, Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire. Once approved, you’ll be invited to schedule an appointment to meet Bart. &#226&#143&#177&#239&#184&#143 Applications are generally processed within 24-48 hours Click here to complete the Adoption Questionnaire Want to See More of Bart?

Story
You won't find a more handsome, intelligent or silly boy than Sidney. He is about 3.5 years old and weighs 84 lbs. Sidney is a very intelligent fellow, he learns quicky and is anxious to please. He will do well with a job and/or a lot of stimulation, long walks and hikes. He will do well with an experienced dog person. Sidney loves meeting new people. He has done well with large dogs he has met, however he is would not be good with small dogs or cats. Sidney does show some barrier reactivity, however, when the barrier is removed (whether it is a crate, fence or car window) he shows absolutely no issues. Because Sidney likes a lot of activity, he will need a securely fenced yard (must be a physical fence, not an electric or invisible system) He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and on monthly treatment for flea/ticks and heartworm prevention Sidney is currently located in the Middle TN area but transport is included in the adoption fee for approved adopter If you are interested in Sidney, email cox_ann@bellsouth.net for an application

Story
Meet Froot Loop, the gentle gem of her litter! Out of Honey Nut’s five puppies, she’s the calmest and most easygoing of the bunch. Froot Loop can be a little shy in new surroundings, but once she feels safe, her sweet personality truly shines. She’s playful and loving with her siblings, and when she warms up to you, she becomes the best snuggle companion you could ask for. You’ll often catch her with her adorable little tongue sticking out, even when her mouth is closed — it’s just part of her charm! Froot Loop would do wonderfully in a patient, gentle home that gives her time to come out of her shell. In return, she’ll give you endless love, quiet companionship, and those irresistible puppy snuggles. * Calm and gentle temperament * Playful with other puppies * Shy at first but very loving * Great snuggler * Adorable tongue-out smile _____________ Ready to adopt? Start by filling out our online application (copy and paste the following link) https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DIX/Dog.

DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY READY TO ADOPT. All of our animals are rescued and transported from South Mississippi where major animal overpopulation means less homes.

We travel to VA, MD, PA, NJ, CT, VT, and NY. Our dogs travel in comfort with 24/7 care. We have been facilitating long distance adoptions since 2019. ***Breed input is required for each platform but is not guaranteed to be accurate. We do not DNA test. We rescue animals from different situations. We discuss breed assignments with our vets to label them as accurately as possible. *** We are currently unable to adopt pets to ME and RI residents.
