Story
Kane is a 7 year old pitbull bulldog mix he is a very sweet boy but sadly suffers from seizures. He has some permanent damage to his eye sight and at night has accidents because he still has small seizures while he sleeps. Unfortunately because of his eye sight he scares very easily and is uneasy on his feet. He will need a quiet patient home with no small children. I wish we didn't have to rehome him but w several small kids 1 being autistic the noises and quick movements scare him and he gets very defensive growling and barring his teeth because he can't see them. Our home is no longer what is best for him and we want him to have a happy quiet life

Story
Nova is approximately 8 months old and about 50 pounds. I adopted her from a puppy rescue in NY where she was transported to from the south at 4 months old. I do not have much history other than coming from the south, but in the time I’ve known her she is a sweet girl-loves to give kisses on your face, loves being around people, loves a good adventure and then sleeping under the blankets with you at night. Unfortunately, I have several cats in the home whom she chases constantly causing a lot of stress in the household. She is a very social dog, she LOVES other dogs—I have spoken with a trainer and she would really benefit from a household with a household with another dog. She engages in some boredom behaviors like destructive chewing and pacing, likely due to boredom. I just cannot provide her with the lifestyle she needs. She requires a home with: •An experienced adopter willing to train •fenced in yard •dog companion •no cats/small animals in the home

Story
Hey hey hey hey! My name is Lucky, and I think that I'm just the luckiest guy in the world because you're here to visit me! I love people and doing any and all things active. I would make a wonderful hiking, running, or parachuting buddy. Ok, maybe not parachuting, but I am definitely an adventure seeker who just wants to be with you as much as I can! I love nothing more than playing tug with rope toys. I think of it as super fun and a way that my people can get their upper body/core workouts for the day in. I'm just trying to be helpful! I also like to play with other dogs, but I can be a bit "much" for some, so I'll need someone who can keep up with me. I am working on my house training, but it's really hard here in the shelter. I need a patient owner who is willing to work with me on training, since I'm smart and love to learn! I would be a great candidate for obedience classes to build on what I already know. Kennel staff think it best in an adult only home.Dogs: NoCats: NoKids: NoWeight: 54If you think that I could be a good fit for you and your family, please call the kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 or swing by the shelter to speak with kennel staff and meet me!

Story
Hallå! I'm Freya and true to my name, I am an absolute goddess of love! Socializing with people, going outside for walks and romps in the pen, and playing in the water are just some of my favorite activities. I can be a bit wary of men at first, but I warm up quickly, and have no issues with new women at all. I was brought to the Berkshire Humane Society when my previous housemate (another unspayed adult female) and I would get into scuffles, usually resulting in minor injuries for me, and our owner could not manage to keep us separate anymore. Since coming to the shelter, I have made many human friends, but need a home without any other dogs. I also cannot live with cats as I do have a bit of a prey drive. I settle nicely in my kennel with an occupier, but can be a tad vocal when I can see my people from my kennel, but cannot get to them. What can I say, I just want to be with my human friends as much as possible! Dogs: NoCats: NoKids: Teens & upWeight: 46If you think I could be a good fit for your family, please call the kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 to learn more about me and how to meet me!

Story
Good day, my name is Beethoven and similar to my namesake, I am quite the musical guy! I loooove to sing and can be a little loud in my vocal expressions, so a house setting would be best for my new home. That said, I sing mostly because I want to be with my people and don't really like being left behind. I'm not at all destructive, fully housetrained and eventually settle down and take a nap, especially if I have a stuffed Kong or other sort of occupier to take my mind off that I'd much rather be out having adventures with my humans. I love to go out on walks, cavort around in the pen and would make a wonderful hiking buddy! I have a very high prey drive when anything moves fast. Because of this I would do best in a home with no other animals. I'm a solid guy, both physically and emotionally, and could use to stand to lose a few pounds to take some pressure off of my joints. I've lived with kids before and could potentially live with kids 10+ again. Could I be the perfect new furry family member for your life?Dogs: NoCats: NoKids: 10+Weight: 78.7Please contact kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126 to learn more about me and how to take me home!

Story
Hi! Hi! Hi! I'm Wall-E! I am learning everything about the world and can be a bit of a handful! I came in as a stray and was not claimed by my former family, so the staff does not know very much about my past. I am working on all my life skills: housetraining, leash walking (I'm doing well!), basic obedience and more! I love going on long walks and enjoying all the scents along the way. I do not enjoy the company of other animals and want to be the king of my castle. I can get mouthy when I am excited, so children over 12 would be best. I am still here at the shelter, though, so please ask staff to see me if you are interested in learning more! Dogs: NoCats: NoKids: 12+Weight: 38

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. ZYM was saved from a kill shelter in Georgia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue, in Sebec, Maine on 5 April 2024. He along with 3 other pitties that he was saved were extremely emaciated with pressure sores that have been treated for and are all doing amazing having gained weight and healed. Zym is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, monthly preventatives, heartworm and tick disease tested negative and is microchipped with 24PetWatch. He has an estimated date of birth of 4 April 2023 and in April 2024 weighed of 36 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. Since Zym has been here (just over a month at the time of this update) he has done amazing, he has gained weight (too much and is now on a diet lol). He and Smellerbee are pretty bonded and snuggle up together in a big puppy pile, so we would love to adopt them together but will adopt individually if a family only wants one. He is playful, affectionate, goofy, happy, full of love, kisses and cuddles. From what he must have endured to now it is a complete change, he is so much fun. He deserves an extra special family who can give him the life he deserves and help him forget the abuse, neglect and starvation he has suffered. 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. Zym is located at the rescue in Sebec Maine and is available for a  reduced adoption  fee of $50. 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.
