Story
Cupid is about 6 years old and 60 lbs. and is such a great boy and so handsome! He was a volunteer favorite in the shelter where he was at risk for euthanasia only because of lack of space. He is a great age with the perfect blend of sweet, calm, but still very playful and fun with the manners of a perfect gentleman. Cupid is not here to break hearts but rather to steal them! He is very outgoing, and ready for adventure but unbelievably easy to walk without even a hint of pulling, and his “sit” is nothing short of perfection. He takes treats politely and has never once tried to swipe a snack. Seriously this dog is as close to perfect as it gets! Cupid is friendly with people and is dog friendly with females and males. He has medium energy, making him a great balance of playful and relaxed, he keeps his kennel clean, and has great house manners. If you are looking for a loyal, well-mannered companion who is ready for walks, snuggles, and all the good times ahead, Cupid is your boy! If interested in giving Cupid the life he deserves, adding him to your family by adopting, or fostering to adopt him, or fostering him until his forever home finds him, please contact Village for Paws Rescue at villageforpawsrescue@gmail.com for more information or to fill out an application.

Shelter techs noted: when greeting another dog when on a leash, Samson approaches with a loose, wiggly body and wagging tail. 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.

Story
Meet Barron! This handsome gentleman adores his people. Treats are the way to his heart and once you are his person, he is as dedicated and loyal as they come. He LOVES toys and can often be seen bringing his favorite red ball to show off! Barron is a typical german shepherd, weary of strangers and protective of his humans. Due to his size and looks, he can be quite intimidating until you get through his tough guy exterior. Barron is a special boy and needs a very special home. Please expect to visit him multiple times and give lots of treats to ensure you are his human. Barron loves to be outside and will need a home with lots of space and a fenced in yard. His ideal owner will need to be very experienced with german shepherds and be prepared to help Barron succeed. If you think you can be Barron's safe person to learn that not all people are bad, give us a call to set up a time to come meet Barron!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Mateo was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas  arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on 10 May 2025. We post our available dogs in states across the east coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes to find perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs, families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and then hopefully take home. Mateo is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, and in March 2025 weighed 25 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of December 2024.    We can not say for sure what the breed is, we expect families to decide looking at any pictures and video's provide and decide if the breed is a good fit for their family. This is what the shelter relayed from his foster family about this sweet boy: Meet Mateo – Your New Best Friend! Mateo is not just any dog—he’s the whole package wrapped in a wagging tail and a sparkling personality! This incredibly smart and confident boy is on the hunt for his forever home, and trust us, he’s a catch you don’t want to miss. Here's just a few things you’ll love about Mateo: Mateo 101: ·        Potty Prodigy: Mateo is fully potty trained—no mess, no stress! He’s a master of dog door excursions too! ·        Smarty-Paws: He’s got brains for days and loves to learn (especially if treats are involved—he's a *foodie*, after all). ·        Independent Spirit: While he loves your attention, Mateo is perfectly content investigating his surroundings and taking time for himself too. ·        Pack Player: Mateo adores being part of a dog pack. He thrives with his furry friends and knows how to fit right in. ·        Kid-Approved: Gentle and playful, Mateo is fantastic with children and would be the perfect addition to a family. ·        Obedient & Mischievous: A unique mix of well-behaved and cheekily curious—he’ll follow commands one moment and hilariously investigate your shoe collection the next. ·        Playtime Enthusiast: Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring the great outdoors, Mateo’s energy and enthusiasm know no bounds! ·        Sunbathing Aficionado: When the fun winds down, you’ll find him stretched out in a patch of sunlight, enjoying life’s little pleasures. Mateo’s foster family absolutely adores him and would keep him forever if they could—but they know he’s destined to make another family just as happy. Are you ready to meet this amazing pup and give him the loving home he deserves? We can’t wait for you to fall in love with him as much as we have. Mateo is available for adoption for an adoption fee of $550, as noted he is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine and families are required to complete and submit an  adoption application and when approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and hopefully take home this sweet boy.
