Story
Come meet me at PAW!Adoption fee: $390Meet Allie, a sweet timid girl looking for a calm quiet home to call her own. Allie is a reserved girl, she needs a bit of time to trust new people and isn't a fan of loud noises or crowds. She is looking for a home where she can relax and work on building her confidence through proper socialization and handling exercises. While Allie allows handling of her feet etc. she is very unsure and uncomfortable about it, practice with handling while giving lots of yummy rewards will help her build trust and feel more comfortable while being handled. Allie had not been around children in her previous home. She would be best suited for a home with older children that will respect her boundaries. Allie enjoys walks and walks quite well on leash. She would be open to meeting a doggie friend as she has lived with other dogs before but she is suggested for a home with no cats as she did not back off when the cat hissed during her assessment here at the shelter. Due to her coat she will require regular clipping/grooming to prevent matting. Allie will make a wonderful companion. If you think Allie would be a good fit for you, come out and meet her today!

Story
Meet Bruno, a sweet and energetic 2 year old neutered tri-colored male Brittany currently in a great foster home in Western New York who is dreaming of a Home of his very Own!  Bruno came into NBRAN through no fault of his own, when his previous family realized that they did not have the time to devoted to Bruno or his littermate who was also surrendered to NBRAN, while raising a young family too.   Bruno’s foster says he enjoys going on long walks to exploring the city, sunbathing outside, playing with his ball, and snuggling up for a good movie night. She also says that even though Bruno grew up with a littermate sister, he loves all of the attention on him as an only pup, but probably wouldn’t mind having a playmate around too. Bruno is super smart and learns commands quickly. He already knows sit, stay, and "where's my kiss?”.  Bruno is housetrained and enjoys sleeping at his Foster Mom’s feet while she works from home. Bruno is great with children and other dogs, but cats are unknown. Bruno has been known to be a bit vocal at times, especially when trying to meet new furry friends, but his foster Mom says he can be easily re-directed and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.  Bruno also NEEDS a fenced in yard to run and play as he is still young moderately active and has true "Brittany instincts." Bruno also gets excited on walks and tends to pull a bit, but can easily be corrected and slow down to enjoy the scenery too. His foster Mom also Warns, Bruno loves to sneak kisses on you! Bruno is completely up to date on all vaccines, heartworm negative, micro chipped and neutered, so now all that’s missing is a place to call Home Forever! Is that your home? If so, please consider filling out an application online at: http://nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application, Once you application is received the coordinator in the State where you reside will be in touch to follow-up. Need to reach your State Coordinator, find their contact information here http://nbran.org/about/state-provincial-coordinators . Bruno’s adoption fee is $400.00 which will help NBRAN cover the vetting costs and other expenses associated with bringing Brit like Bruno back to good health and readying them for adoption. Don't live in Western New York or close by, No Problem!  NBRAN also has a wonderful transport team willing to help bring Bruno to his new family, up to 1400 miles with the adoptive family being responsible for the last 100 miles, at no additional fee. Still have questions? Contact New York coordinators, Deb MacSherry at debmacsherry53@gmail.com or Jean Rand at jrand13@gmail.com, thank you!   April 19, 2024, 1:39 pm

Story
Adoption Fee 390$Hi my name is Rosie and I am the most beautiful dog on the block! Just look into my gorgeous blue eyes . I look like a red husky, I am one of a kind! Though as many know, beauty is not everything. I am also a very nice dog who enjoys car rides, long walks ( I do pull a bit on a leash), and dog tricks ( I can do roll over, High five and Paw). I probably already sound like the best dog ever, but there is a few things to keep in mind before taking me home, like many Huskies , I am very vocal and will whine when left alone. I would not make a very good pet for the apartment life. I am also not fully potty trained and will have a few occasional accidents in the house. I would be best left in a crate when you are not home because I tend to chew things that are not mine. I would also do best in a home without any other pets. If you are interested in adopting me, come to the shelter today!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. LADY was saved from a kill shelter in Georgia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue, in Sebec, Maine on 5 April 2024.  LADY is spayed, core vaccines, monthly preventatives and is microchipped with 24PetWatch. She has an estimated date of birth of 1 February 2024 and in April 2024 weighed of 8 pounds. We have no way of knowing the breed, it is up to individuals to look at the pictures and videos to make up their own mind. This sweet girl is still a baby and so we are looking for families who understand how much work puppies are, who are able to ensure he gets all the socialization she needs, the training, routine and structure to give her the right start to his wonderful life ahead of her. LADY is such a confident pup who will jump on my leg whilst walking by her, grab my shoe, and then settle down and join her puppy friends in a mandatory puppy pile nap. She is affectionate and loving, but does play rough. We take a lot of pictures and videos and don't always have the time to post them on the dogs individual webpage and adoption site, so we ask that you go to the rescue    YouTube channel    and    photo albums on our Facebook page    to see a LOT of pictures and videos. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks. Lady is located at the rescue in Sebec Maine and is available for a  reduced adoption  fee of $550. Interested families are required to complete our application process and once approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Our process takes 1-2 days as long as we are able to talk to references, so be prepared to be approved (hopefully) to adopt within a few days of submitting the adoption application. https://giveadogahome-rescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=5838 HOUSE TRAINED - All of our dogs are located in the kennel building so we are not able to say if a dog is house-trained, however, they do have access and use the dog door to access their run, play area 24/7. FOOD - We feed a variety of high quality brands and flavors including, chicken, turkey, beef, lamb and fish generally alternated daily. CATS - We do not have cats in the kennels and are not able to say how our dogs are with cats.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. ZAANA was saved from being shot on the streets of Oman by an amazing organization Muscat Dog Adoption. She along with her 7 friends were flown into JFK where they were cleared the CDC and then picked up and transported back to Give a Dog a Home Rescue, in Sebec, Maine on 5 April 2024 ZAANA is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, monthly preventatives, heartworm and tick disease tested negative and is microchipped. She has an estimated date of birth of 18 November 2021 and at the time of transport weighed around 30 pounds. The group believe that Zaana could be a Japanese Spitz mix, but we have no way of knowing for sure. ZAANA is the girl for you if you are looking for a gentle, sweet, super affectionate girl. She has settled in well after her long, scary trip from Oman and enjoys when I am in the kennels giving her lots of love and fuss. She will put her paw on my arm or shoulder so that I can scratch the spots she likes and I think it is also her way of wanting to connect. She is a beautiful girl who does have a medium length coat, so grooming is a consideration to be taken into account as if coats are not brushed, they can matt very easily which is not healthy and painful for the dogs. She is an active girl and will need a family that will take her on lots of adventures and give her the lifestyle that she needs and deserves to thrive. ZAANA can be dog selective and so she would be best in a home with no other dogs, so as to not cause any un-needed stress or concerns. Then over time she can get to meet other dogs and see who she likes to have as her friends so she can play and chase and have some doggy-fun. We take a lot of pictures and videos and don't always have the time to post them on the dogs individual webpage and adoption site, so we ask that you go to the rescue   YouTube channel    and    photo albums on our Facebook page   to see a LOT of pictures and videos.

He has an estimated date of birth of 21 November 2022 and at the time of transport weighed around 35 pounds. Mixed breed dogs in Oman are referred to as Omani Wadi Dogs, with most of them being Saluki mixes. Alma is such a gentle and sweet boy, he is a little wary at first, but having been through all he has leaving his rescue in Oman and traveling to the US is a huge change. After just a few days, he has settled in great, he gets excited when I go over to the kennels, will now take treats, very gently, shares a kennel with two other dogs and does great. One of his kennel mates, CHIP a young cattle dog is really helping to bring him out of his shell, teaching him to play and having him curious in the toys and chews. He sleeps snuggled up with, I feel he gets a lot of comfort with Chips typical cattle dog confidence. ALMA is thin, although being the kind of breed, a sighthound mix, he will not need to gain much more weight, but a few extra pounds would have him at a healthy weight.
