Story
Meet Rico, a delightful adult dog with a zest for life that`s contagious. He`s the perfect blend of playful and cuddly, smart yet independent. Rico is a highly energetic dog that loves to engage in fun activities but also cherishes quiet cuddle times. He thrives on consistency and would benefit from multiple visits to establish a strong bond. He may do well with a canine friend but good introductions will be key for him when meeting other dogs. Adopting Rico means bringing home a loyal friend who will enrich your life with joy and companionship.

Story
Theo is a 5-year-old bundle of enthusiasm who is ready to find a home of his own! This handsome guy came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about his past or how he does with kids, cats, or other dogs. What we do know is that Theo absolutely loves people and life in general, maybe a little too much sometimes! While we continue learning more about Theo, we think he would do best as the only dog in the home for now, as he seems uncomfortable around other dogs and could benefit from more socialization and confidence-building. Theo currently has a case of “happy tail,” which happens because he gets so excited that his constantly wagging tail smacks into walls and surfaces, causing it to bleed. The good news is that this usually clears up quickly once dogs are in a calmer home environment. He’s simply too happy for his own good!Theo’s giant stuffed pickle is his absolute favorite toy and constant companion, he proudly carries it everywhere he goes like it’s his best friend. Theo is Lyme positive, which is very common in Maine dogs, but it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He’s young, active, and full of energy. He is also incredibly strong and will need an adopter who is prepared to work on leash manners, because right now he tends to pull hard on walks out of pure excitement. Training and consistency will go a long way with this eager guy. Theo is the kind of dog who throws his whole heart into everything he does, especially wagging his tail, and he’s hoping someone out there is ready to keep up with him!

Story
Meet Karen, a sweet and energetic dog with a heart full of loyalty. She`s not just smart; she`s also incredibly brave and always ready to play. Karen thrives in a home where she can be the only pet, making her the perfect companion for someone looking for a devoted friend. While she`s a little selective about her animal friends at first, her loyalty to her humans is unmatched once she`s formed that bond! She might be well-suited to a home with older children who can match her energy, playfulness and strength. Apply to adopt Karen and discover the joy of a faithful companion who will always be by your side.

Story
Near Portland: This handsome boy is Brody. Just look at those amazing eyes! They will make you fall in love with him. He knows his basic obedience (sit, down, stay, place, leash walking), is crate trained, and is also working on muzzle training! He is around 7-8 years old and is mostly an Aussie/lab mix. He is neutered and current on his immunizations. Brody is a smart, loving, and affectionate dog who enjoys learning, adventuring, hiking, running, and exploring the outdoors. He is looking for a home, preferably with someone who is active, and would do best in a home without young children. He would thrive as the only dog in the home due to some resource guarding issues around other dogs. When it comes to chews/bones, he can become extremely possessive, so his future home should be mindful about keeping these things out of his environment entirely to set him up for success. Brody has also been on a carefully monitored diet to help him reach a healthier weight and would benefit from continuing his weight loss journey! (Currently down to 90lbs, and should be 65-70lbs) If you’re looking for a smart, loyal, and adventurous companion, Brody could be the perfect addition to your life. He’s eager to bond with his person and ready to thrive in a home that understands his needs. If you’re interested in giving him a forever home, please fill out our application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application *We are currently fostering him in southern Maine. If you would like to set up a meet and greet with Brody, let us know and we’d be happy to have you meet him! There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.
