Milo

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 8 mos

Lewiston, ME

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Milo — A High-Energy Explorer with a Sensitive SideMilo is a bright, energetic pup who thrives when given daily outlets for his physical and mental energy. Long walks, sniffing adventures, and enriching games aren’t just fun for Milo — they’re essential. He loves having a “job” to do, and when his needs are met, he transforms into a focused, happy companion with a spring in his step and a tail held high. While affectionate with people he trusts, Milo is not a fan of being rushed, especially by new faces. He may look like a cuddly teddy bear, but he is independent and smart, needing his personal space respected at all times. Earning his trust is a slow, steady process, but those who are patient will discover a thoughtful, deeply loyal companion.Milo will do best in a home that provides consistency, structure, and outlets for his energy. He enjoys food puzzles, treat-dispensing toys, and other enrichment activities that challenge his mind. He’s still learning house and crate training, but he is a quick and eager learner when guided with patience and positive reinforcement. Milo may do well with a calm, confident dog or dog-savvy cats with slow introductions. His ideal home will be adult-only or include older teens (15+) who understand that he needs time, space, and structure to thrive. Milo will also need lifelong support from veterinary care and behavior guidance to help him become comfortable being left alone, as currently he becomes very stressed and reactive when alone. A family committed to working with a recommended dog trainer will help Milo’s energy, confidence, and spirit truly shine.Potential adopters must speak with Carolyn at Carolyn@gahumane.org, who will schedule meet-and-greets and provide guidance on Milo’s special needs.Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.

Tucker

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 6 mos

Lewiston, ME

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Gentle, Polite Tucker — A Sweet Soul with Lovely Manners Tucker came from a loving home but needed to be rehomed due to housing changes. He’s a smart, well-mannered boy who already knows sit, lay down, stay, and paw — and he patiently waits for his food like a true gentleman. Tucker can be a bit shy, especially with new people, and he isn’t overly affectionate until he feels comfortable and secure. He has briefly met children, but their excitement can feel a little overwhelming for him. Tucker has successfully socialized with other dogs and has also lived with cats, showing he can peacefully share his space with other animals.Tucker will do best in a home that understands his gentle, reserved nature and is willing to move at his pace as he settles in. He most likley will need a visit or two before he is ready to go home and he will need to meet the whole family. He’s looking for a family who will continue giving him the patience, love, and support he was used to in his previous home. With time to adjust and people who respect his comfort level, Tucker is sure to be a loyal, steady companion who brings quiet sweetness and wonderful manners to everyday life.Behavior Disclaimer: Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.

Story

Kaiser — A Thoughtful, Loyal Companion Kaiser’s story is one of resilience, patience, and quiet progress. Since arriving at GAHS as a young dog, he’s shown us how deeply he bonds with the people he trusts and how much he thrives with structure, consistency, and gentle guidance. In the shelter, Kaiser has been cautious around new people and unfamiliar situations, but with patience, positive reinforcement, and a predictable routine, he has blossomed into a loving, playful, and loyal companion. He enjoys daily walks, sniffing adventures, enrichment activities, car rides, and tennis balls, and he responds beautifully to calm, low-stress environments that allow him to explore and engage at his own pace.Kaiser will do best in a calm, adult-only home where he can be the only pet. He needs a low-traffic environment without frequent visitors or loud activity, and a family experienced with sensitive dogs who can read his body language and move at his pace. Working with a certified, positive reinforcement–based trainer will help him continue building confidence and navigating new experiences successfully. For the right adopter, Kaiser will be a deeply rewarding companion, offering affection, loyalty, and quiet joy every day.Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.

Duke

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 7 yrs

Lewiston, ME

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Duke!Weight: 87 lbs Large and in charge Mr. Duke is ready to find his match, Duke made his way to us due to no fault of his own and is such a good boy! Duke is looking for an active household, one that wants a canine friend to tag along on all the outside adventures. Duke can be a little nervous at first but quickly warms up and is very food motivated. Duke knows sit, paw and down and walks great on leash. A home outside of city limits and in a more quiet rural-like area would be best for Mr. Duke! Duke has lived with other dogs before and did well and we`d want him to meet all canine siblings prior to going home, he`s also lived with felines (1-2) before and chickens (that were couped up) and did fine. Duke would be best fit with teenagers and in a lower foot traffic household, our staff will be happy to discuss introductions with Duke and feline/canine friends in home, to help set everyone up for success! Duke looks forward to meeting you!

Mickey

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 1 yr 6 mos

Lewiston, ME

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Mickey — The Life of the Party! Mickey is a young, bouncy dog who first came to the shelter as a stray and quickly charmed everyone with his wiggly personality and goofy enthusiasm. He’s full of energy, loves to play, and has a big heart that makes him light up any room. Mickey is smart and food-motivated, already knowing sit, down, and paw — impressive skills for such a silly, lovable boy. While he’s playful and joyful, he is still figuring out the world and learning how to navigate it confidently.Mickey will do best in a home that provides structure, consistent guidance, and plenty of physical and mental outlets. He has grown increasingly frustrated with other dogs, so any dog introductions will need to be very slow, safe, and managed by someone experienced with large, powerful dogs. Mickey loves chew toys, food puzzles, and long walks to satisfy his curiosity. With patience, routine, and ongoing training, he has the potential to grow into an incredible companion who fills every day with joy and laughter.Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.

Josie

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 6 yrs 1 mo

Lewiston, ME

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Gentle, Shy Josie — A Brave Heart Learning to Trust Josie has lived with both cats and dogs in the past, and while she has always been a shy girl, she has shown that she can open up and even become playful with other dogs once she feels safe. Since arriving at the shelter, she has been very timid and unsure, but we’ve been taking things at her pace — and it’s working. With patience, gentle encouragement, and plenty of space, Josie has slowly started to warm up and show us glimpses of her sweet, sensitive personality. She prefers to come to people on her own terms, and each small step she takes is a big, brave victory.Josie will need a quiet, understanding home with people who are familiar with fearful or shy dogs and are committed to moving at her pace. She’ll thrive with patience, gentle reassurance, and the freedom to build trust in her own time. Because new environments can be overwhelming for her, Josie will likely need multiple visits with her future family before she feels comfortable enough to go home. With kindness, consistency, and lots of love, Josie has the potential to truly blossom — she just needs someone willing to give her the time and understanding she deserves.Behavior Disclaimer: Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home
