Story

Meet Ace — A Young Bully Mix with a Playful Side! Ace is a young bully mix looking for a fresh start after being left at a boarding facility. While we don’t know much about his past, we’re getting to know his personality here at the shelter! At the boarding facility, Ace struggled with the other dogs. However, during an introduction with a helper dog at the shelter, he showed us a playful side, with a loose, wiggly body, happy jumps, and adorable play bows. Ace is still learning about the world around him and doesn’t have much experience with a leash, which currently makes him fearful. His history with children and cats is unknown.Ace will need a patient family who can help him build confidence through positive experiences and at his own pace. A securely fenced yard would be a wonderful place for him to explore, play, and develop trust while he works on becoming more comfortable with the leash. Meet-and-greets with children and any resident dogs are required to help ensure everyone is a good match. With patience, encouragement, and plenty of fun ways to burn off his youthful energy, Ace has lots of potential to blossom into a wonderful companion!Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.

Story

Meet Tonka — A Fun-Loving Shepherd Mix with Lots to Learn! Tonka is a young shepherd mix looking for a fun and loving home that understands the needs of his breed. This teenage guy came to us as a stray, so his history with other dogs, children, and cats is unknown. What we have learned is that Tonka is an enthusiastic young dog who is still figuring out how to navigate the world! He may not have had much structure in his young life, but he has plenty of potential and is ready to learn. Like many adolescent shepherds, he’ll need guidance, engagement, and positive outlets for his energy and clever mind.Tonka is looking for a family ready to help him build good manners and develop into a well-rounded companion. He’ll benefit from consistent, reward-based training, fun activities, enrichment toys, and plenty of opportunities to use both his brain and body. Meet-and-greets with children and any resident dogs are required to make sure his enthusiasm is a good fit for everyone. His history with cats is unknown, so careful introductions and management would be important if cats are part of the household. With patience, structure, and a family ready to embrace the fun of raising a teenage shepherd, Tonka could be an amazing adventure buddy!

Waldon

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 7 yrs 7 mos

Lewiston, ME

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Waldon — 100% Good Boy, 110% Enthusiasm! Waldon is the kind of dog who believes every day is the best day ever. This medium-to-large mixed breed has had quite the journey, first arriving as a transport and finding his way back to us a few times over the years. His latest return wasn`t because of anything he did—his family simply wasn`t allowed to have dogs where they lived. Through it all, Waldon has remained the same happy-go-lucky, larger-than-life guy we`ve all come to love. He`s got a heart of gold, enough enthusiasm to power a small city, and sometimes... well... his brain takes a quick coffee break while the rest of him is already halfway to the next adventure. That`s just part of Waldon`s charm!Waldon is looking for a family that sees his goofy exuberance as something to laugh about, not something to `fix.` He`ll thrive with active people who enjoy hiking, long walks, sniffy adventures, brain games, and continuing the training that`s helped him come such a long way with our team. More than anything, Waldon needs someone who`s committed for the long haul. He`s had enough goodbyes and is ready to find the family that says, `Yep... this wonderfully ridiculous dog is ours forever.` If you`re looking for a best friend who will make you laugh every single day, keep you on your toes, and remind you that life is one big adventure, Waldon is packed, ready, and probably already waiting by the door.

Story

Meet Milo — Your Energetic, Talkative Adventure Buddy!Milo is an energetic dog who is ready to find a family that can match his zest for life. After being adopted, Milo was returned a few months later because his enthusiasm and care needs became more than his family could manage. Since his return, we’ve learned that Milo struggles with some resource guarding, so he’ll need a family prepared to provide thoughtful, consistent management. Milo is a strong dog who could use some help with his leash manners, too. He’s vocal, loves attention, and will happily roll over for belly rubs any chance he gets. He has lived with dogs and cats and has met children, though he hasn’t lived with them and can be a bit of a jumper when excited. Milo will need to meet any resident dogs and children to help ensure a good fit.Milo would thrive with an active family ready to provide exercise, engagement, and positive outlets for his energy, along with the extra management his resource guarding requires. He is currently on a diet and exercise plan to help him lose the weight he gained over the past few months. Consistency, guidance, and appropriate enrichment will help him work toward a healthy weight and channel his enthusiasm. A family that enjoys outdoor activities and includes their dog in daily life could be a great match for Milo. With a plan that supports his needs, Milo is ready to bring plenty of personality, affection, and adventure to his next home!Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.
