Milo

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 9 mos

Lewiston, ME

Size

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

Details

Story

Milo — A High-Energy Explorer with a Sensitive Side Milo 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 a dog savvy home with a deep understanding of dog behavior, that respects his need for time, space, and structure. 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, Animal Care and Behavior Manager before adoption.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.

Meet Waldon — A Whole Lot of Fun Ready to Shine Waldon is an active, energetic dog who is full of personality and enthusiasm. He has previously lived with children, cats, and dogs, though those environments proved to be very overwhelming for him. In the shelter, it’s clear that Waldon has a big zest for life and plenty of energy to share. He’s a dog who has heard “no” often without always being shown what to do instead, and he’s still learning how to navigate the world around him. Waldon brings a lot of excitement and joy to everything he does—he truly is the definition of “too much fun” in the best way.Waldon would love a home where he can be the center of attention and given the time, patience, and guidance to learn what’s expected of him.

A consistent routine and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping him succeed. Providing him with clear guidance, outlets for his energy, and plenty of opportunities to learn will allow Waldon to thrive and show just how amazing he can be.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.

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!

Story

Meet Jackson — Learning the World One Step at a Time Jackson is a young dog who is just beginning to explore and understand the world around him. As an adolescent, he’s still building confidence, and new experiences can feel a bit overwhelming right now. In the shelter, Jackson has formed strong bonds with a small circle of people who help him feel safe as he navigates new things. He has shown that when his space and boundaries are respected, he is able to relax and start to shine. Jackson is very sweet, cuddly, and loving once you’re in his trusted circle. He does best in calm, quiet settings where interactions move at his pace—he thrives when given the choice to approach and build trust on his own terms. With that support, we’ve already seen his world slowly grow a little bigger each day. A fenced yard will help him safely explore and continue gaining confidence outdoors.Jackson is looking for a patient, understanding home that can continue helping him build confidence at a comfortable pace. He may need multiple visits before going home to ensure he’s ready and comfortable with his new environment. A calm environment, gentle routines, and allowing him to take the lead in new situations will help him feel secure and succeed. He may benefit from living with a calm, well-balanced dog who can help model positive behaviors and show him the ropes. Jackson is available by appointment only, and potential adopters will meet with Carolyn, our Animal Care and Behavior Manager, to help ensure a smooth and supportive transition. With time, trust, and the right support, Jackson is ready to show just how much potential—and love—he has to give.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.

Mickey

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.
