Story

Walter is a loving, loyal dog with a big personality. He loves being with his people, whether he’s playing outside, going for walks, or curling up on the couch for a snuggle. He’s energetic, affectionate, and always wants to be part of the family. Walter can be anxious in new situations and has a bit of a cantankerous side, so he does best with patient owners who understand his boundaries and can provide consistency and reassurance. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet, goofy, and devoted personality shines through. Walter is overall a wonderful dog with so much love to give. We’re looking for a home that will appreciate his unique personality and give him the time, patience, and affection he deserves. In return, he’ll be a loyal companion and a loving member of the family.

Story

Hubert is a loving, affectionate St. Berdoodle looking for the right forever home. He loves playing fetch, going for walks, and curling up for cuddles. He's energetic, goofy, and happiest when he's with his people. After a good play session, he's content to relax by your side.We have a young child and can no longer give Hubert the love and attention that he deserves. We're committed to finding the best match for him and we believe he'd do best in a home without young children and preferably as the only pet or with an experienced owner who can manage introductions and high-value items.This is an incredibly difficult decision, and our priority is finding Hubert a safe, loving home where he can thrive. If you think you may be the right fit, we'd love to tell you more about this wonderful dog.

Story

Everybody meet Zadie!! Zadie is an absolute doll!! She is gentle and sweet and is a staff favorite. Zadie keeps her kennel clean, and we think she would be pretty easy to house break. We think she is some sort of hound pointer mix, about 2 years old weighing in at about 45 pounds. Zadie is a gentle girl who loves to give hugs. She would love a home with room to run and/or an active family. She is willing to snuggle just as much as she'd love a good hike or long walk. If you are interested in meeting Zadie, please submit an application at animalrescuefoundation.org/adoptionapplication Please share to help us get this girl home finally!!

Story

Posted November 2025 FALKOR is a handsome combination of Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd, and he possesses the wonderful qualities for which both breeds are known and loved! This athletic 18 month old pup has had the great fortune of living with wonderful foster families so we have some great info to provide. Falkor weighs 49 lbs. Falkor is definitely the kind of dog who must be part of the family. He thrives on human companionship and while he is friendly with other dogs, he prefers to interact and bond with "his" people. He has coexisted with several adult cats and was very respectful and observed boundaries. Falkor is also great with children, and would be a wonderful addition to a family with kiddos. This sweet boy enjoys the outdoors, exploring and looking for twigs and good smells on his walks. A fenced yard would be a great bonus so he can roll in the leaves and soak up the sun. He walks very well on leash and benefits from a harness Falkor is crate=trained and house trained, but like any dog there will be an adjustment period while he learns new routines. He is not accustomed to being kenneled for long periods of time, so his ideal home would be one where he doesn’t have a long alone day. Falkor’s Maine foster family says he is doing so well! He may not have seen stairs before because he comes down them just fine but needs coaxing to go up. He can get excited and jump on new people so they are working on that with Falkor. He plays great with dogs and kids who are patient and respectful. Falkor is FAST and playful. He’s been eating in his crate and doing well. He gets extra excited around meal times and he will learn to settle easier once he has a routine and realizes he never will have to worry about being fed again. If you have interest in Falkor or any of our sweeties please fill out the adoption application. Please note: we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England. Once approved, we expect a potential family to travel to the dog in the foster setting so that they are introduced where they are feeling safe and loved. Thank you for considering rescue!
