Story
**Foster-to-adopt eligible**Meet Jax!Jax can be very nervous at first but once he warms up to you, he is the sweetest boy. The way to Jax`s heart is either with food as he is very food motivated or with a tennis ball. Some of his favorite things are playing in the snow, going on long walks or hikes, running around, and playing with a tennis ball. He would do best with someone who is willing to work on some more training with him as he is super smart and catches on pretty quick. He would also benefit from a home with no kids under 10 and dog savvy cats. Interested in meeting Jax? Swing on down to KVHS with the whole family (Including future dog siblings) to meet him!

Meet Timon!Timon is a very happy and sweet guy who loves attention! He would benefit from a home who is willing to help him work on his manners and get some of his energy out. He would also like a home with dog savvy cats and rough and tumble kids as well no kids under 10. As for dogs he is not the biggest fan and would prefer to be the only dog in the home.

Story
Hi everyone, I’m Lisa 💕 I’m 3 years old and 44 lbs of love, energy, and personality. I was abandoned when I was just a few months old at a church in Barceloneta, but I haven’t let that dim my spirit one bit. I’m a happy, energetic girl who loves to run, explore, and take in everything the world has to offer. I’m super social and enjoy being around other dogs, though I can be a little selective about who I choose as my best friends (a girl’s allowed to have standards, right? 😉). Once I find my people and my circle, I’m all in. I’m coming to Maine on April 7th and I’m so excited to meet everyone and hopefully find my forever family! I’m looking for a home that will embrace my playful energy, let me stretch my legs, and give me the love and stability I’ve always deserved. I’ve come a long way from that church, and I’m ready to find my forever. Could that be with you? 🐾💛

Story
Meet Zoey 🤍 Zoey is a 6-month-old sweetheart weighing about 25–30 lbs, and she is ready to find her forever home here in Maine. Zoey’s story is one that truly tugs at your heart. She was deeply loved, but her owner became terminally ill and could no longer care for her. Because of that, Zoey is now looking for a new family to give her the love and stability she deserves. Despite everything she’s been through, Zoey has remained incredibly kind, gentle, and loving. She does amazing with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine companion. She also does well with kids 6 years and older, making her a great fit for a family environment. Zoey is still a young pup, so she’s learning and growing every day, but her sweet nature and affectionate personality make her such a special girl. She’s ready to start her next chapter with a family who will love her for life. Zoey will be arriving in Maine soon and will be ready for her forever home. Could that be you? 🐾🤍
