Story
Midas is a bright, energetic pup with a fun personality and a sharp mind. He`s not your typical snuggle-bug, but he shows his affection in his own special ways-lighting up when he sees his people, playing endless games of fetch with his toys, and always being ready to join for an outdoor outing where he can explore and stay on the move.Highly food-motivated and eager to learn, Midas thrives with training and enrichment. He`s always ready to show off his skills, like sitting and shaking on command—or will happily learn something new. If you love working with a dog who’s as brainy as he is active, Midas will keep you on your toes in the best way.Midas is looking to be the only pet in the home for now, and he`ll do best with teens and adults who understand the importance of boundaries and structure. He connects deeply with people who take the time to get to know him and will flourish with someone who’s ready to invest in a truly rewarding bond.If you are ready to start out on a great new adventure- we may just have the right fit here for you!

Story
Moose is a handsome, energetic boy looking for a loving, stable family to call his own. He’s an active guy who will make a fantastic adventure buddy for someone who enjoys walks, playtime, and keeping busy. Moose will benefit from regular exercise, continued training, and lots of positive encouragement.Because we don’t have much background on him, we’re using our best judgment with how he may do around cats, dogs, and children. Any other canines in the home will need to meet Moose in the shelter setting for a “dog to dog” introduction. Moose will need some time and patience to adjust to new surroundings, but once he bonds with you, you’ll have a loyal friend for life. Ask about Moose today!

Australian Shepherd Labrador Retriever

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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet GEYRAN! GEYRAN was saved and cared for by Muscat Dog Adoption before being sent with other rescued dogs to Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine. They arrived in the US on 28th January 2025 and were transported to the rescue, where they are settling in. Health & Background &#226&#156&#133 Cleared by the US Canine Center for Diseases upon entry into the US &#226&#156&#133 Spayed &#226&#156&#133 Rabies and core vaccines up to date &#226&#156&#133 Heartworm and tick tested negative &#226&#156&#133 On monthly preventatives &#226&#156&#133 Microchipped &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weighs around 56 pounds Estimated DOB: 2 February 2021 Front leg amputee ‍ Mother of BINKY, who has since been adopted GEYRAN - FOSTER FAMILY UPDATE   We picked Geyran up at Give a Dog a Home rescue in Sebec on September 1st, and have fostered her for one week so far. She started out being clearly nervous and skittish around us -- and who could blame her after what she's experienced in the world so far? But it's been the most amazing thing to see her change from day to day, becoming more confident and loving and playful from one day to the next. This girl has a lot of love to give, and absolutely adores being loved on. While she still has a long way to go to being her most confident self, with the quick progress she's making, it's clear the only thing standing between her and her best self is a little time and a lot of love. Geyran happily sleeps in her crate with the door open during the night, doesn't bother you when you're still sleeping, and then comes to greet you and get some rubs when you get out of bed. She is a very clever girl, and despite having never lived in a home before, knows to only potty outside. First thing in the morning she follows close behind me to the front door, then goes straight outside to do her business. During the day she naps on her bed in the living room, and makes trips outside with us when we go out. She is a huge fan of taking a walk on the trail in the woods behind our house. We have been trying to convince her to take it easy with short jaunts only while she adjusts from a more sedentary life in the Oman rescue and GaDah rescue, to being more active. Geyran certainly seems to be good with other dogs, because she manages to get on with our dog Apollo, who has a fairly severe case of only-child syndrome and wants everything to be about him. While Apollo does resource guard us despite our best efforts, Geyran takes it in stride. While I don't think they'll ever be snuggle buddies, they get along as well as we ever could have hoped considering what a tough nut to crack Apollo is. Geyran does try to engage Apollo in play sometimes, but our snooty dog has mostly turned his nose up at her. The only chance we've had to see them play together is when we get either Geyran or Apollo worked up and when one starts to do some zoomies, then the other usually can't resist joining in and suddenly they are lapping the house together. When we bring Geyran into the bedroom at night to sleep, she first comes to our bedside to get lots of rubs alongside Apollo before we turn out the lights and she heads into her crate. She's come to love this routine, and she seems so happy when the both of us are giving attention to them together....I think it's her favorite part of the day. It's honestly been making it harder and harder to stop giving her attention and turn off the light each night. I hope someone out there will finally give this sweet, sweet girl the chance she deserves to find her family, and discover all that she has to give once she has a chance to settle down in her forever home.
