Story
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. Now it’s finally their turn to experience Maine, family life, and being someone’s very own best friend. 🤍 If Mulligan sounds like the missing piece of your family, please fill out an adoption application! 🏡🐾

🐾🖤 Meet Binx – 40 Pounds of Fluffy, Happy-Go-Lucky Love! 🖤🐾 If you're looking for a fluffy best friend with a heart of gold, Binx might just be your guy! ❤️ Binx is an adorable 6-month-old, 40-pound, long-haired Labrador Retriever who is making his way to Maine all the way from Florida! After spending time in a shelter down South, this sweet boy is ready to trade shelter life for cozy couches, outdoor adventures, and a family to call his very own. And let us tell you, Binx has never met a stranger! 🥰 This boy absolutely LOVES everyone he meets. People? Obsessed. Attention? Yes, please. New friends? The more, the merrier! In fact, Binx might love people a little too much because he just can't contain his excitement when there's someone new to shower with affection! But don't let all that enthusiasm fool you. Binx has a wonderfully laid-back personality, too. He's the kind of pup who is happy just being part of whatever you're doing. Whether it's spending time outside, hanging out with the family, or relaxing after a fun-filled day, Binx is simply happy to be included. At just six months old, Binx is still a puppy with plenty of growing, learning, and discovering ahead of him. He'll need a family committed to continuing his training, teaching him good manners, and helping him grow into the amazing adult dog we know he can become. With his beautiful fluffy coat, sweet personality, and easygoing nature, Binx has all the makings of a truly wonderful companion. What makes Binx so special isn't just how adorable he is. It's that despite starting his young life in a shelter, he's still so incredibly happy, trusting, and full of love to give. ❤️ Binx isn't asking for much. Just a family who will love him as much as he already loves the world. 🏡 🐾 6 months old 🐾 Approximately 40 pounds 🐾 Long-haired Labrador Retriever 🐾 Happy, friendly, and affectionate 🐾 Laid-back, lovable personality 🐾 Arriving from Florida

Story
Meet Henry!Henry is a very sweet boy who can be a bit nervous at first. He would prefer a home with no other dogs and kids 8 years and older! As for cats we think he would do best with dog savvy cats as he may chase them. Interested in meeting Henry come down to KVHS with the whole family to meet them!

Story
Meet Ace! 🐾❤️ Ace is a 7-month-old bully mix and, quite frankly, he is freaking adorable. 😂 This sweet little guy is a total cuddle bug who absolutely loves being close to his people. If you’re looking for a puppy who wants to play, explore, and then curl up beside you for a nap, Ace might just be your boy. Ace is still a puppy, so he’s working on potty training and all of those normal puppy things, but he’s already crate trained and doing really well! He loves going for walks, playing, and soaking up all the attention he can get. He’s playful, affectionate, sweet, and just an all-around good-natured little guy. He has been an absolute joy in his foster home, and we know somebody is going to be incredibly lucky to call him theirs. ❤️ Ace is ready for a family to grow up with, learn with, cuddle with, and love for the rest of his life. 🐶🏡 📍 7 months old 🐾 Bully mix ❤️ Cuddle bug 🦮 Loves walks 🎾 Playful & affectionate 🏡 Crate trained 🐶 Still working on puppy basics
