Story
Meet Mojo, This boy is very people-oriented--loves to play tag, get butt scratches, and generally being the object of your attention! If you are in the market for a guard dog, Mojo is not it! He will be best friends with anyone trying to break into your home. Mojo is working on his leash manners while he is with us and hopes to continue that work in his new home. He is both strong on the leash and can have a lot to say if he sees other animals, especially dogs. This gorgeous gentleman is looking for a cat-free home. Mojo has never lived with dogs before and we don`t know how he would do with them in the home. Encountering dogs at shelter continues to be stressful for him. As for children, Mojo is looking for a home with children who are used to being around dogs or children who are 10 years of age and older. If you are looking to add this bundle of affection to your home, please stop by with all human and canine family members.

Forrest

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 6 yrs 6 mos
Augusta, ME
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Meet Forrest, Forrest is a high drive, working line German Shepherd who has a lot of love and loyalty to give to his people. While Forrest doesn`t mind strangers, if you like a dog who behaves in an intimidating manner when people first come to the home, or while you`re out walking on leash, this could definitely be a bonus for the right family. One of the ways to Forrest`s heart is through tennis balls, Jolly Balls, tug toys, and the occasional small fallen tree. He is happy to work for treats even if they are his specialized food that you can get at your vet. This food helps keep his sensitive skin and stomach feeling their best. Forrest is looking to shine as the only animal in an adult only home and in return he will fill your heart with laughter, love, and the occasional eye roll. If you are interested in meeting Forrest, please bring all human family members living in your home.

Story
If we could describe Chicken Nugget`s character it would be very similar to Courage the cowardly dog. When Chicken Nugget first came to KVHS as a stray, he had to overcome his fear of opening up and trusting a few staff members. At first meet he is very bashful and will use his voice when he is uncomfortable. But just like Courage, he overcame that fear and made a few friends here that he absolutely loves and protects. He walks well on leash. He knows `sit` and `paw.` He is a treat-motivated, hugging cuddle-bug who will forever be a loyal friend. ** Please understand Chicken Nugget may need to have several visits until he is comfortable enough to go home with you ** He will be happiest and most successful in a home free of cats and people under the age of 18. He has not yet met a dog friend here, but is willing to meet other K9`s. If you are interested in meeting Chicken Nugget be prepared with treats, all household family members and patience in meeting this sweet, shy boy.

Story
Meet Bella, Bella is a bodacious, powerful girl who is true to her breed. She adores attention, kisses, and cuddles from her friends and family. The mailman? Not so much. Cane Corsos are an Italian mastiffs bred to be strong, stubborn, and intimidating. If we had to pick any dog to walk down a poorly-lit street at 2 in the morning, it would be Bella. That being said, Bella is large and in charge, AND she knows it. She is looking for a handler who is physically strong, and preferably one who has experience with large guard breeds. As a big, stubborn dog who is bred to be highly suspicious of strangers, Bella will need consistent training throughout her life to stay safe and happy out and about, and with any visitors who come to the home. She will not be successful as dog for a first-time dog owner.Bella is looking for a dog-free home with people 18 years and older. Though she has not lived with cats before, we think she could be successful living with dog-savvy cats. If you are interested in meeting Bella, please bring all human and canine family members to meet her. * Due to kennel space, Bella is placed outback! Please as for her.
