Story

Meet Hugo — The Big Puppy with an Even Bigger Heart Hugo is a large mixed breed adolescent dog looking for a loving, fun home that’s ready for all the adventures of raising a goofy teenage pup. He was originally adopted from us as a puppy and was given a wonderful start to life before his family sadly lost their housing. Through it all, Hugo has remained the same sweet, friendly, and eager-to-please boy who wins over everyone he meets. He hasn’t lived with other animals or children, but he has met them in passing and so far has been a friend to everyone.Hugo is smart, very food motivated, and already has a great foundation for such a young dog. He knows sit, down, and leash walking, and overall is impressively polite for his age. Like any adolescent pup, he’ll still need continued training, structure, and guidance as he grows into adulthood, but he truly enjoys learning and working with his people. Hugo would thrive in a home that can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and continued positive reinforcement to help him become the very best version of himself. If you’re looking for a loving, goofy companion who’s equal parts fun and sweet, Hugo is ready to grow up by your side.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 Waldon — A Whole Lot of Fun Ready to Shine Waldon is an active, energetic dog who is full of personality and enthusiasm. He has previously lived with children, cats, and dogs, though those environments proved to be very overwhelming for him. In the shelter, it’s clear that Waldon has a big zest for life and plenty of energy to share. He’s a dog who has heard “no” often without always being shown what to do instead, and he’s still learning how to navigate the world around him. Waldon brings a lot of excitement and joy to everything he does—he truly is the definition of “too much fun” in the best way.Waldon would love a home where he can be the center of attention and given the time, patience, and guidance to learn what’s expected of him. An active, outdoorsy lifestyle will help him channel his energy in positive ways, whether that’s through adventures, play, or enrichment activities. A consistent routine and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping him succeed. Providing him with clear guidance, outlets for his energy, and plenty of opportunities to learn will allow Waldon to thrive and show just how amazing he can be.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

Kaiser — A Thoughtful, Loyal Companion Kaiser’s story is one of resilience, patience, and quiet progress. Since arriving at GAHS as a young dog, he’s shown us how deeply he bonds with the people he trusts and how much he thrives with structure, consistency, and gentle guidance. In the shelter, Kaiser has been cautious around new people and unfamiliar situations, but with patience, positive reinforcement, and a predictable routine, he has blossomed into a loving, playful, and loyal companion. He enjoys daily walks, sniffing adventures, enrichment activities, car rides, and tennis balls, and he responds beautifully to calm, low-stress environments that allow him to explore and engage at his own pace.Kaiser will do best in a calm, adult-only home where he can be the only pet. He needs a low-traffic environment without frequent visitors or loud activity, and a family experienced with sensitive dogs who can read his body language and move at his pace. Working with a certified, positive reinforcement–based trainer will help him continue building confidence and navigating new experiences successfully. For the right adopter, Kaiser will be a deeply rewarding companion, offering affection, loyalty, and quiet joy every day.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.

Details

Story

Meet Duke!Weight: 87 lbs Large and in charge Mr. Duke is ready to find his match, Duke made his way to us due to no fault of his own and is such a good boy! Duke is looking for an active household, one that wants a canine friend to tag along on all the outside adventures. Duke can be a little nervous at first but quickly warms up and is very food motivated. Duke knows sit, paw and down and walks great on leash. A home outside of city limits and in a more quiet rural-like area would be best for Mr. Duke! Duke has lived with other dogs before and did well and we`d want him to meet all canine siblings prior to going home, he`s also lived with felines (1-2) before and chickens (that were couped up) and did fine. Duke would be best fit with teenagers and in a lower foot traffic household, our staff will be happy to discuss introductions with Duke and feline/canine friends in home, to help set everyone up for success! Duke looks forward to meeting you!

Jackson

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 11 mos

Lewiston, ME

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Meet Jackson — Learning the World One Step at a Time Jackson is a young dog who is just beginning to explore and understand the world around him. Like many adolescent dogs, he’s still building confidence, and new experiences can sometimes feel overwhelming at first. When Jackson first arrived, many everyday things felt scary and unfamiliar, but with patience, gentle support, and time, he has made incredible progress in the shelter. We’ve watched his confidence steadily grow as he’s learned to trust the people around him and feel safer navigating new situations. Jackson has formed strong bonds with a small circle of trusted people, and once you’re in that circle, he is incredibly sweet, cuddly, and loving. He does best in calm, quiet environments where interactions move at his pace and where his space and boundaries are respected.Jackson is looking for a patient, understanding home that will continue helping him build on all the progress he’s already made. While he has come so far, it’s important that his confidence-building journey continues after adoption through gentle routines, positive experiences, and allowing him to approach new things when he feels ready. Jackson may benefit from living with a calm, well-balanced dog who can help model positive behaviors and show him the ropes. He may also need multiple visits before going home to ensure he feels comfortable with his new family and environment. With time, patience, and trust, Jackson is ready to continue blossoming into the wonderful dog we know he can be.

Mickey

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 1 yr 8 mos

Lewiston, ME

Size

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

Details

Story

Mickey — The Life of the Party! Mickey is a young, bouncy dog who first came to the shelter as a stray and quickly charmed everyone with his goofy enthusiasm and wiggly personality. He’s full of energy, loves to play, and has a huge heart that lights up every room he enters. Mickey is smart and food-motivated, already knowing cues like sit, down, and paw — impressive skills for such a silly, lovable boy. While he’s playful and joyful, he’s still learning how to navigate the world confidently and appropriately.When Mickey first arrived, he became very frustrated being kenneled around other dogs, and it was clear he needed time, structure, and thoughtful introductions to succeed. Over time, we’ve been able to carefully introduce him to calm, sensitive dogs, and he has truly thrived. Mickey tends to come in a little hot and excited at first, but once he settles, he does his best to match the other dog’s play style and energy. Because of his size and enthusiasm, his adopters will need experience introducing large dogs together and understanding dog body language. Mickey would do best in a home that can provide structure, ongoing training, and plenty of physical and mental enrichment like long walks, chew toys, and food puzzles. With patience, guidance, and the right environment, Mickey has all the makings of an incredible companion who will fill your life with laughter and adventure.
