They arrived in the US on 28th January 2025 and were transported to the rescue where they are settling in. HATTIE was cleared by the US canine center for diseases upon entry into the US. She is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, weighs around 33 pounds and has an estimated date of birth or 5 November 2022. HATTIE's story is that she was found as a young pup in a busy tourist area in Muscat where dogs are either shot or run over and left for dead. Sadly her mother and all 5 of her siblings had been shot and she was the only survivor. Hattie was taken to a wonderful Omani lady who cared for along with a lot of other dogs. Whilst she spent most of her time in a large crate where she could stand and stretch and was taken out for bathroom breaks. She only got to go on walks twice a week when volunteers would come and help with the dogs.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet DEXTER! DEXTER was originally rescued and cared for by Muscat Dog Adoption before traveling to Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine, with other saved dogs. He arrived on January 28th, 2025, and has since settled in well at the rescue. Health & Background Upon entry, DEXTER was cleared by the U.S. Canine Center for Diseases and is in great health: Neutered Rabies and core vaccines up to date Heartworm & tick disease tested – all negative &#239&#184&#143On monthly preventatives Microchipped Upon arrival, weighed approx. 34 lbs Estimated DOB: September 16th, 2022 DEXTER’s Personality DEXTER is a confident boy once he feels safe in his space. He’s very affectionate and loving, gives great snuggles, and thrives with human companionship. Friendly and social with other dogs Exposed to cats in Oman, but hasn’t been around cats since arriving in the U.S. Rides great in the car Leash trained What DEXTER Needs We’re looking for a loving home that can provide: ‍An active and engaging lifestyle to keep him happy, healthy, and stimulated Good quality food, treats, and toys Regular veterinary care and wellness checks Understanding of his background – coming from a very different country means new sights, sounds, and smells could be overwhelming at first. He’ll need a patient family willing to help him build confidence at his own pace. ‍ DEXTER’s Story In January 2023, DEXTER and his sister were rescued as young pups from a dangerous, high-traffic area near hotel complexes in Oman, where stray dogs are not welcome and often face being shot or run over. Thankfully, they were taken in by Muscat Dog Adoption Rescue. His sister was adopted. With no local interest, DEXTER was chosen to travel to Maine in hopes of finding his forever family. Stray dogs in Oman are known as “Wadi Dogs”—a unique mix of sighthounds like the elegant Saluki and smaller agile breeds, often resembling whippets. If not rescued, many of these dogs face heartbreaking outcomes. Adoption Details Adoption Fee: $300 Location: Sebec, Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire Once approved, you'll be invited to schedule an appointment to meet DEXTER before hopefully taking him home &#226&#143&#177&#239&#184&#143 We try to process questionnaires within 24 hours of receiving them [Click here to complete the Adoption Questionnaire] Want to See More of DEXTER?

RITA was saved and cared for by Muscat Dog Adoption, before sending him with other saved 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. RITA was cleared by the US canine center for diseases upon entry into the US. She is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, weighs around 33 pounds and has an estimated date of birth or 10 March 2024. After being at the rescue a few months on 7 May, Rita was lucky enough to be chosen to go for a day out on our Lets go for a Walk, Doggy Day Out Program.  She was initially very scared, but soon settled down. She left at 10am and came back to the rescue today at 4pm after a wonderful break away from the kennels - she was so scared when I brought her out but Kelly emailed me not long after getting home saying she is doing great. It just sometimes takes a little time to get away from the stress of the kennels and not have all the energy to feed off and be able to relax... and relax she did. She had a nap on the couch and was even dreaming, which shows how comfortable she was, she saw the cats and gave a low growl when cat approached but nothing other than that. She met another dog who she happily shared the couch with and my absolute favourite is she met the parakeet, FRED, who apparently wanted to nibble on her nose. That photo made me laugh so much. So a wonderful relaxing day for this sweet girl, this is the fist time she ahs been in a house and for her first time away from her Omani friends she did amazing.
