Story
Meet Cali,One of the happiest girls you`ve ever met; even if her greeting is a loud bark. She`s working on manners greeting new people; she`s gets so over excited! She loves to learn, and with her being a foodie, is easy to train! We`ve been working on `engage disengage` to help with her barking. She walks pretty well on leash, enjoys all the loving, and LOVES to play! She doesn`t fully understand how to bring the ball back yet, but she tries.Cali has shown un-confident behaviors with other dogs, and can be nervous with them. We think she`d do best with a submissive male- no females! As for cats, Cali needs a home free of felines. Due to her jumpiness, she`d do best with kids over the age of 10 years old.Interested in meeting Cali? Swing on down to KVHS during available adoption hours to meet her!

Story
🐾 **Meet Elly!** 🐾 Our sweet little Puerto Rican princess is making her way to Maine and is officially looking for her forever home! 🇵🇷🐾 Elly is a **4-year-old, 28 lb Lab/Collie Sato mix** coming to us all the way from Puerto Rico, and she is truly one of the sweetest, most loving little dogs. 💕 Elly absolutely **adores people** and does wonderfully with **dogs, cats, and kids**. She has such a gentle, affectionate personality and is ready to finally have a family of her very own. She especially loves the company of other dogs, and we think Elly would **absolutely thrive with a dog sibling** to be her companion, help her settle into her new life, and join her on all of her Maine adventures. 🐶🌲 Elly is **spayed and fully up to date on her vetting**. As she transitions from Puerto Rico into a completely new environment, she may need a little patience while she learns her new home and routine, but we think this sweet girl is going to settle in beautifully. After quite the journey, this little island girl deserves the very best next chapter. We can't wait to see who gets lucky enough to call Elly theirs. 🤍 📍 **Arriving in Maine** 🐾 **4 years old | 28 lbs** 🐶 **Dog friendly** 🐱 **Cat friendly** 👧 **Kid friendly** 💕 **Would love a dog sibling** 💉 **Spayed & up to date** 💕 **If Elly sounds like the perfect addition to your family, please fill out an adoption application!**

Story
Meet Tank! Tank is a very sweet, goofy, playful and energetic lovebug! He does not have the best manners and would benefit from a home where he is able to work on them as he can be a bit mouth and jumpy at times. As for cats he has lived with them and would do well in a home with them. He has a lot of love to give but is not always aware of his size so no kids under 8 please. Is willing to meet female dogs siblings. Interested in meeting Tank come down to KVHS with the whole family to meet him!

Mulligan - Female - 7 Months - Lab Mix ⛳🐾 Meet Mulligan— Part of Our Golf Crew! 🐾⛳ After a very long wait, our Golf Crew is finally getting their chance to make the journey from Puerto Rico to Maine and start looking for their forever families! Mulligan is one of Ryder’s puppies, now approximately 7 months old and 22 lbs. These girls have spent their puppyhood waiting patiently in Puerto Rico for their turn to come to Maine, and we are SO excited that their time is finally here. 🥹 Just like their mama, the Golf Crew girls are sweet, social, and friendly. Mulligan does wonderfully with other dogs, kids, and cats and would absolutely love having another dog in the home as a friend and playmate. 🐶💕 At 7 months old, she’s still very much a puppy! Her new family should be prepared to continue working on things like housebreaking, crate training, leash skills, and learning the routine of living in a home. She’ll also be experiencing a LOT of change at once, so patience and time to decompress will be important as she settles into her new life. 🐾 Approx. 7 months old | 22 lbs ⛳ Part of the Golf Crew 🐶 Dog friendly 🐱 Cat friendly 👧 Kid friendly 💕 Would love a doggy sibling Coming from Puerto Rico These girls have been waiting long enough.

🐾 Meet Scottie! 🐾 Scottie is making his way all the way from Puerto Rico to Maine on September 8th! 🇵🇷✈️💙 At approximately 5 months old and 22 lbs, Scottie is one of seven siblings and will be making the journey to Maine alongside three of his brothers. After waiting patiently for his chance, this sweet boy is finally ready to find his forever family! Scottie is fully up to date on vaccines, neutered, and ready for adoption. He is a friendly, social puppy who does wonderfully with dogs, kids, cats, and people. 🐶🐱👧 He would especially love a home with another doggy friend to play with, learn from, and grow up alongside. Like any young puppy transitioning from Puerto Rico to a brand-new home, he’ll need a family ready to give him patience, love, consistency, and time to settle in. Scottie has a whole new life waiting for him in Maine — now he just needs the family to share it with. 💙🐾
