Story
Posted November 2025 FALKOR is a handsome combination of Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd, and he possesses the wonderful qualities for which both breeds are known and loved! This athletic 18 month old pup has had the great fortune of living with wonderful foster families so we have some great info to provide. Falkor weighs 49 lbs. Falkor is definitely the kind of dog who must be part of the family. He thrives on human companionship and while he is friendly with other dogs, he prefers to interact and bond with "his" people. He has coexisted with several adult cats and was very respectful and observed boundaries. Falkor is also great with children, and would be a wonderful addition to a family with kiddos. This sweet boy enjoys the outdoors, exploring and looking for twigs and good smells on his walks. A fenced yard would be a great bonus so he can roll in the leaves and soak up the sun. He walks very well on leash and benefits from a harness Falkor is crate=trained and house trained, but like any dog there will be an adjustment period while he learns new routines. He is not accustomed to being kenneled for long periods of time, so his ideal home would be one where he doesn’t have a long alone day. Falkor’s Maine foster family says he is doing so well! He may not have seen stairs before because he comes down them just fine but needs coaxing to go up. He can get excited and jump on new people so they are working on that with Falkor. He plays great with dogs and kids who are patient and respectful. Falkor is FAST and playful. He’s been eating in his crate and doing well. He gets extra excited around meal times and he will learn to settle easier once he has a routine and realizes he never will have to worry about being fed again. If you have interest in Falkor or any of our sweeties 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. Once approved, we expect a potential family to travel to the dog in the foster setting so that they are introduced where they are feeling safe and loved. Thank you for considering rescue!

Story
Posted November 2025 ​ Willow is a 5 month old terrier mix who weighs 20lbs. Willow was born without eyes. She was brought into the vet clinic by a man who had her poured brake fluid in her ear to kill ticks. He didn’t know if he wanted to euthanize her or keep her outside in a 10x10 pen. Luckily the vet and vet techs talked him into letting them have her. Even though she has no eyes it doesn’t slow her down at all. She LOVES everyone she meets. She knows how to use the doggy door and the ramp to get on the bed. She loves to play with the other dogs or chill out with her toys or bone. She really loves her toy that dispenses treats when she moves it just right. She sleeps all night in her crate no problem. She has the best personality, you can’t help but love her. A family who is interested in adopting Willow does not need to have any special skills to care for a blind dog, but the willingness to learn is key. She would benefit from having another dog in her life to help her figure things out, and auditory cues such as bells on the door where she should go out, and people who talk to her and help to train her with scent and auditory cues will be great! If you have interest in Willow or any of our sweeties 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. Once approved, we expect a potential family to travel to the dog in the foster setting so that they are introduced 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.
