Newest update: December 2024 Georgie is a beautiful one year old girl who came to us as an older pup with her mother and siblings. They all have been adopted and are doing well. Georgie has taken more time to come out of her shell and is now so comfortable with her family, you can see in the pictures that she loves the humans and dogs and their routine. Her foster mom works from home so Georgie is lucky to have very little alone time and she has a canine brother who has become her good buddy. Georgie's biggest needs will be a family that can work on building her confidence as new experiences can still a challenge for her. Georgie unfortunately gets car sick but Benadryl seems to help and we think in time, building up from short trips to good experiences will help with that. ​ Her foster mom says, " I love how sweet and gentle she is. She has this cute little face and she has one ear the points straight out to the side and the other flops over. She loves affection. She loves a lap to bury her face in and just wants you to cuddle. I love how she sleeps on her back with her legs either tucked in or out straight, she's such a good girl!" If you have interest in meeting Georgie or any of our cuties, please fill out the adoption application. Please note: we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout Maine. It is our expectation that, once approved, a potential family will meet the dog(s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved. Thank you for considering rescue!

Newest Update: June 2025 ​ Meet Dexter – Your Future Cuddle Buddy and Adventure Partner! Location: Maine foster pup Age: 3 years old Currently fostered in a one-dog household Looking for a loyal, loving, and slightly goofy best friend? Meet Dexter, a sweet-hearted 3-year-old dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Dexter is currently in foster care and ready to find his forever home! About Dexter: Dexter is a true people dog. He adores his humans and lives for cuddle sessions on the couch (or bed – fair warning, he will try to hog the space out of love). He’s an excellent companion on walks and absolutely lives for car rides. The more adventures, the better! Dexter listens well to commands, knows the basics, and is a quick learner. He’s very trusting and will transition easily with a little attention and affection. He’s content napping while you’re at work and has full run of the house, happily relaxing in his bed until you’re home. Dexter’s Ideal Home: A home that can give him one good walk a day – he’s got energy and love to spare! A family or individual who appreciates affectionate dogs and doesn’t mind the occasional excited bark when visitors arrive. He does well with children and other dogs but thrives best with a bit of structure and attention, especially in busy households. Fun Dexter Facts: He’s a sniffer extraordinaire – walks are more like “sniffari” adventures! He might try to jump up when he’s extra excited – but hey, who can blame him for loving people that much? He’s the definition of a gentle goofball and makes his foster parents laugh every day. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will fill your life with joy, laughter, and lots of cuddles, Dexter might just be your perfect match. ​ This handsome boy is a beautiful mixed breed dog, definitely some hound in there! He is approximately 65 lbs. Dexter LOVES car rides, and sits in the seat like a human. He likes to take walks and with the 1:1 attention of his foster parents, he is getting some excellent fine turning of leash manners. Dexter is an escape artist with crates and has learned to do OK without one as long as the area is well puppy-proofed. Meeting new people or dogs is a little stressful for Dexter so he needs a good proper intro so he can warm up to new friends. He loves the family’s guinea pigs though! He has played the best with older dogs, and is skittish around puppies or “in your face” dogs. Dog parks will definitely not be safe for him and he hasn’t been able to stay at a day care due to his aversion to crates. Dexter would be best in a home without very small children as he has become more territorial as an adult, and needs more training than his current family is able to provide. If you are interested in meeting Dexter or any of our cuties, please fill out the adoption application.

Story
Posted June 2025 This darling little boy is an approximately 3 year old Yorkshire or Norfolk Terrier mix who weighs 17 lbs. Angel is a southern rescue pup, he was found as a stray and the original owner could not be located. He spent time in his southern foster home with several other dogs and did great with all of them. Since arriving in Maine a few weeks ago he has been with a foster family who have two cats, one of which he is totally fine with however the other cat is of a much more timid nature and not enjoying Angel’s advances. It was discovered shortly after he was transported to us that he had a urinary tract infection, he was treated with antibiotics for that and the recent recheck showed no signs of infection. what his foster family has to say.... "There are a few things we think would be the best for him in an ideal world. Obviously we think no cats, or possibly a very dog savvy chill cat. We think he would love to have another playful dog in the house or children who could play and snuggle with him. He did great as anticipated when our grandchildren (12 & 9 years old) spent the night, he wanted to be at their side all the time. He’s energetic and so someone who can walk him, a fenced yard, or trips to doggie daycare to help him get his energy out. Any home that would love him will work because he is a really smart, great dog who deserves it!" ​ If you have interest in meeting Angel or any of our cuties, please fill out the adoption application. ​ Please note, we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England.
