Story
Farrah is a 2-year-old Border Collie Mix weighing 38 pounds. This very shy, but very sweet delicate flower needs time to blossom. Not very social out of the gate, she’ll require time and patience before she is comfortable. Good news is when she’s ready, Farrah is an affectionate little fox who will ask for gentle pets by reaching out her paw to you. A calm and quiet home would help this nervous nellie feel at ease! Currently, Heartworm Positive, Farrah will need to have limited exercise and be the only spoiled pet in the home as she undergoes her treatment. She is a furry little shadow ready to be your new bestfriend!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Jack is a handsome 75 pound, 3 year-old pointer/border collie mix coming to us through our owner surrender program. He is a very good boy who gets a little too exuberant around his baby human brother and for that reason needs a new home with older children.  Jack is playful and loves to chew on his squeaky toys, kongs, and bones. He also loves his leash walks although he can pull a bit and can use some training in that department. Jack is crate trained but is also well behaved when left alone outside of the crate.  He is good in the car and for baths.  He does not chase outside cats or other animals.  Jack is a cuddler with his humans and is happiest when they are all together. He loves belly rubs! He does get excited and jumpy when visitors come over but will settle down quickly. Jack could happily live with another playful dog or alone with an active family. He is here in NJ and ready to find his new family.  Jack is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. He has been neutered and has a microchip. His adoption donation is $500 .    -Trainer’s Note -   Jack is a Border Collie / Pointer mix, which means he’s a true working breed with a brilliant, busy mind. The right home for Jack is one that understands and embraces that.   Jack thrives with structure, clear and consistent boundaries, and appropriate outlets for his drive. Here’s the good news: he does NOT need to be run ragged or entertained around the clock to be happy. What he needs is intention.   Roughly 1 to 2 hours of meaningful daily activity that works both his body AND his mind — a walk, some training, scent work, a puzzle, a game with rules — and Jack becomes a dog who settles beautifully, gives endless love, and will genuinely amaze you with his intelligence and his intuitive connection to his person.   He is not a project. He is a partner waiting for someone who speaks his language.   Give Jack structure and purpose, and he will give you his whole heart.   Assessment provided by Liia of Lounge & Lead, Jack’s foster trainer.   - Adopting an animal is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these animals have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 25, 2026, 2:23 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. BEAU and his 5 siblings were born after their mum, was saved from a large hoarding case in Northern Texas (April 2026) where the American Humane were involved due to the scale of abuse and neglect. "Sweetie" their mum was heavily pregnant and had a rotted, infected foot/leg that caused her leg to need amputation. Luckily she was saved and was able to give birth to 6 healthy pups in the safety of the local animal control department and their foster team.  After getting vetted and old enough to travel (8 wks) they arrived safely at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine on 28 May 2026. We had planned to take their mum, Sweetie along with the pups, but we are happy to share that she was a Foster-Fail down in Texas. We welcome adopters from across the East Coast and Canada — many of our families travel to meet and take home their new best friend! Health & Background I was informed by the ladies on transport that they were told that BEAU was deaf. This does appear to be the case and so we are looking for experienced families with another dog to be his hearing companion. Estimated date of birth: 31 March 2026 ✅ Neutered ✅ Core vaccines up to date - too young for Rabies ✅ Monthly preventatives ✅ Microchipped with 24PetWatch - registered with Free Pet Chip Registry. ⚖️ Weight approx. 10 pounds at end of May There is no doubt that BEAU is the cutest, most adorable pup ever. He is fun, goofy, loving, affectionate, smart and very stubborn lol. Of course the fact he is deaf makes him all the more cuter but this does mean he needs a family that has what he needs and the understanding of his needs. Although animals thrive with disabilities and Beau is doing fantastic here with the other pups and the senior dogs, he does miss out on very important cues from the other dogs - that being verbal communication - those low growls from the bigger dogs telling him to back off, other communications he misses, he has to be watching the dogs body language for his communication with them and well lets face it he is a puppy and is interested in everything and anything everywhere. We feel it is important that Beau be adopted with another puppy or to a family that has a dog of up to 1-2 years old at the most. The reason for this is so that they can form a bond, and Beau will follow the cues from the other dog, if Beau is not watching you he will almost definitely follow the other dog if you call them inside from playing in the yard - this is important for safety issues too. Sign language is of course a tool to train him, but sign language is only good when he is looking at you. BEAU needs a family that is active and understands his intelligence and be sure he gets his physical and mental needs met along with that ever so important socialization and exposure to different environments. Our adoption fee's are $550 per dog/pup or $1,000 for two. Adoption Details Location: Dover-Foxcroft, Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire. Once approved, you’ll be invited to schedule an appointment to meet and hopefully go home together. ⏱️ Applications are generally processed within 24-48 hours   Click here for our Application Request Form - to Adopt or Foster!

She does walk on the leash and rides good in the car. I cannot say she is house-trained as she has access to outside pretty much all day and does go outside, but she won't know to let you know she needs to go out - so you must be prepared to help her learn. We are looking for an active family who understands the need of mental stimulation as well as the physical exercise for this intelligent active girl Our adoption fee's are $550 per dog/pup or $1,000 for two.
