Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. STAR (previously named Your Highness was transferred to GaDaH from a high kill shelter in Texas on 22nd April 2023. 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. STAR is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm/tick tested negative. She is on monthly prevention, microchipped, has an estimated date of birth of 11 November 2018 and at the time of transport weighed 69 pounds. We have no way of knowing what the actual breed is, so it is up to people to look at the pictures and video's to make up their own mind. * * * Reduced Adoption Fee - $100 * * * STAR has been at the rescue since April and before that at the shelter for a good while. She is NOT doing good in the kennel environment and feeds of the energy and is just super hyped up ALL the time - which is not good for her mental or emotional state at all. STAR was adopted for a few days in May, however it didn't work out and the family brought her back after a few days. I am looking for someone who is experienced with INTELLIGENT dogs, those that understand that they need a LOT more mental stimulation than running playing ball in the back yard for the rest of their life. She needs a quiet family who understands the need to decompress, to go for nice gentle walks, to be able to settle down, learn her new environment and home and just go slow. She loves everyone she meets, although in the kennel initially does have that GSD bark, which can scare people (not such a bad thing) but once out from behind the gate she just wants to love and be loved. She knows sit and walks beautifully on the leash and rides in the car great. Although she has a reduced adoption fee in hopes to get her out of the kennels so she can start to mentally heal as well as start to live a new amazing life, we will not drop out standards and only people with the lifestyle that she needs will be considered for adoption. Although a very high energy breed, she has been estimated to be around 5 years old, so a great age, for still needing exercise, but not at that crazy age where they bounce of the wall if they don't get enough. I recommend no other animals purely for the fact that she truly does need a few months to decompress with out energy from other animals. She is great with people and kids. If interested in this beautiful girl, and understands the need to decompress, to go slow and to give her a wonderful, loving, active life please go to the rescue website to complete and submit the adoption application. I work on applications within 24 hours and so as long as I am able to reach references could have an application approved within 1-2 days. She is so deserving and is just getting more and more stressed in the kennels feeding off the constant high energy from the other dogs! STAR is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine for an adoption fee of $100. This adoption fee covers the cost of running a brick and mortar rescue as well as any transport, veterinary, food, treats, toys costs and the many expenses that rescues endure to keep the pets in their care safe, and happy. Be sure to read all the information and if interested, go to the rescue website to submit an adoption application. https://www.giveadogahome-rescue.org/forms/form?formid=5838 The rescue buys food in bulk, by the truck load and there are a variety of brands and flavors. None of the food given is less than a 4* food rating. There have not been issues with eating any of the varying foods. It is important that you do your research on the ingredients and speak to your vet or a nutritionist on grain vs grain free! ​You MUST understand that dogs need time to decompress and adapt to their new environment and home. It is a HUGE transition they make from the kill shelter, being vetted, on transport for 3 days and arriving in Maine where the temperature and such is very different to what they have only known. In rescue there is what is known as the "3 Point Rule" Days 1-3 your dog is stressed, anxious, confused as to where they are now. Weeks 1-3 your dog is adjusting, settling in, learning things. At the 3-month point, your dog understands they are home, and have built up a trusting relationship where they feel loved and secure. If you feel that you have the heart and home to give this precious soul a wonderful life, please go to our website, under the ADOPTION INFO tab, complete, then submit the APPLICATION. Our process takes around 1-2 days, and ensuring your references are aware that we will be calling, could speed up the process. Once you have been approved, we discuss any questions in regards to the dog you are wanting to adopt, then we can schedule your appointment to come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine for meet/greet/adopt Please do NOT submit an application if you are not looking to take home a new best friend within the next few weeks. https://www.giveadogahome-rescue.org/forms/form?formid=5838 ALL Dogs are LOCATED AT THE RESCUE IN SEBEC, MAINE. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Sebec is located just outside the towns of Dover-Foxcroft and Milo (approx. 8 miles) and approx. 45 miles from Bangor. There are also lots of hotels, motels, pet friendly accommodations and wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend.
