Story

Chip is a Doodle mix coming to us from the south, and he is one seriously impressive pup. He and his buddy Radar were part of a federal training program, where they learned 16 commands — even though they didn’t ultimately complete the program, they still came away with an amazing foundation of training and skills. Chip is an extremely smart, eager-to-learn boy who thrives with structure and engagement. He’s the kind of dog who loves having a job to do and a person to focus on. He will be arriving in Maine on January 11th, and he’s already looking forward to meeting the family who will give him the loving forever home he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion who’s ready to impress you every day, Chip may be your perfect match 🤍 If you’re interested in meeting Chip, please complete an adoption application. Approved applicants can contact our Adoption Coordinator, Emily, at emily@mainedogrescue.org

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Macy’s Marvelous Four — Pure Joy and Puppy Charm These four little ones are growing up wrapped in the kind of love every puppy deserves. Their mama, Macy, is a small to medium girl (30 lbs at most), and she is one of the sweetest, quietest, most gentle souls you’ll ever meet. She dotes on her babies with her whole heart — calm, patient, tidy as can be — and her nurturing spirit shows in her puppies. Because they’ve grown up with Macy’s steady love and their favorite two-legged jungle gym (that’s you ), these pups are incredibly socialized, confident, and happy. They’ve never known fear, only safety. They trust people, adore affection, and are learning that life is a wonderful adventure. Full-grown size will depend on who daddy was, but they may end up close to Macy’s size. What we can guarantee is this: They’ll be loving. They’ll be joyful. They’ll be wonderful family companions. These babies will fit beautifully into almost any home — playful, affectionate, eager to bond, and ready to become someone’s heart for life. Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans. We try to post videos for each pet so you can really get to know them. If you would like to find out more please email or call Diane at... diane@ulpr.org or 870-577-3744. Please email us at diane@ulpr.org and request an application. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 27, 2025, 2:24 pm

Story

Walter is a 3-year-old Weimaraner/Bully mix and truly one of the sweetest boys you’ll meet. He’s great with other dogs, housebroken, and crate trained. We recommend older kiddos—he loves playing soccer with them, but can be a bit intimidated by too much commotion. To know him is to love him. If you’re interested in meeting Walter, please complete an adoption application. Approved applicants can contact our Adoption Coordinator, Emily, at emily@mainedogrescue.org

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

At just 2 years old, Crumble is the perfect mix of loyal affection and playful energy. This gentle sweetheart has a heart as big as his smile and he is ready to share it with anyone willing to rub his belly. Whether it’s curling up for snuggles on the couch or trotting happily beside you on a walk Crumble is wanting to please. He does well on the leash but is still learning not too pull to much. He loves being outside just sniffing and taking it all in. He is still learning how to play with toys. He’s a quick learner, eager to please, and has already mastered the basics, sit, stay and fully potty trained. He loves attention from his person and would thrive in a home where he can be part of the family’s daily adventures—whether that’s a walk or cozy movie nights. If you’re looking for a faithful companion who will love you unconditionally and remind you every day how special you are, Crumble is your guy. If you’re interested in meeting Crumble, please complete an adoption application. Approved applicants can contact our Adoption Coordinator, Emily, at emily@mainedogrescue.org
