Areas Coastal Maine Great Dane Rescue serves
It is the mission of Coastal Maine Great Dane Rescue to work for the prevention of cruelty to animals, specifically stray, abandoned, abused, or owner-surrendered Great Danes, by providing temporary sanctuary for these animals pending their adoption into permanent homes. We adopt to Maine and New Hampshire only.
Coastal Maine Great Dane Rescue's adoption process
Additional adoption info
The adoption process starts with an application to adopt. We do a telephone interview as well as a home visit. We ask for and check references and we arrange for the prospective owner to meet the dog. We then schedule a time for the new person to take ownership of the dog. We seldom adopt to families with very small children. A fenced yard is preferred but each case is looked at individually. Once placement is approved, the new owner signs a contract. We keep in touch with the dog for the remainder of it's life, so we're always there to help. In most cases our adoption fee is $350, all dogs are neutered, vetted and up to date on vaccinations.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
