IVORY
Ivory is a sweet, bubbly, 6-9 month old puppy who likes other dogs and cats. She has a wonderful temperament, walks nice on leash, and is crate trained. She is working on basic obedience and what a smart cookie!
She is petite and our best guess is that she will not exceed 30 pounds. Best breed guess- beagle and pit mix.
APOLLO
Apollo is a sweet medium sized boy who is enthusiastic about life, loves hiking, and would really love to have a home with a fence, if possible. He likes to run around! Then chill time.
He is pretty good with other dogs, especially mellow dogs, likes female dogs especially, but would do well on his own too.
When you look at Apollo’s interaction style you can see that not all of his experiences with people were nice or high quality. But as soon as he knows you aren’t sketchy, he’s affectionate and snuggly.
Cat test pending
HITCH
Hitch is a 32 pound, 11-12 month old foxhound mix and is good with other dogs. He’s grown up here with his siblings, and his best friend and playmate is Ruby, another hound.
He is crate trained, fun loving and good on leash. Hitch would be a great family dog.
GLICK
Glick is a super happy, seven-ish month old vocal and typical bossy Aussie puppy. He was found as a dying neonate from a local Amish breeder. He was given round the clock critical care by a team of skilled fosters and now he is a radiant little
He does fine with other dogs, as long as it’s a slow introduction, so he doesn’t have to feel overwhelmed. He is good with cats and loves all people. He is crate trained. We had a slow start to potty training outside, but he’s piddle pad trained well. He loves toys and is fairly treat motivated!
POPPY
Poppy is an 8 year old Boston terrier who absolutely loves people, dogs and cats.
She’s a little doll. She loves to snuggle and a cozy lap is her favorite place for a nap. She has a funny little snore to go with it. She’s got wonderful house manners and is a happy go lucky girl.
We found out when she first came to us that she has stress exacerbated IBD- inflammatory bowel disease. After being dumped, we figured this out because she had a flare up. However, within 24 hours and some rest, some love, and a new healthy, diet she was all set. No more flare ups.
We are looking for someone who will be happy to follow our easy home-made IBD diet for her. That way she never has to experience the discomfort again.
She’ll pay you back in mounds of sweetness for the little bit of effort that her meal prep takes!
SHAYLA
Shayla is a very sweet energetic puppy. She loves snuggling on your lap any chance she gets, playing with other dogs, and chew toys. She’s ok on leash, pulls some, but is very treat motivated so with more experience and positive reinforcement she’ll learn quickly. She is fully crate trained, and is doing well with potty training- still has some infrequent accidents.
She can be nervous when meeting new people but warms up pretty quick with treats and pats. She does have some resource guarding when it comes to food and toys, but as long as other dogs respect her warning/correction it has never escalated. She can come off a little defensive when meeting new dogs, because of the situation she was put in before coming to us, but once she realizes the other dogs aren’t going to mess with her she wants to be their best friend!
HOLLY
Holly is a sweet little 10 month old foxhound who is full of kisses and loves to be close. She is great with other dogs, and will learn cats just fine.
She is healthy and spayed and up to date on everything she needs. She loves to play with other dogs, has learned to walk on leash well, and is currently in a staff pack learning good house manners.
She is a bubbly, happy girl and she will make a wonderful, loving companion for any family.
SPROUT
Sprout is a bouncy social butterfly. She’s a sweet and playful puppy who wants someone to be her best friend. As a typical pittie, she’s extremely affectionate, energetic, and very trainable. She’s started basic obedience, is crate trained, great with other dogs, and very food motivated. She’s walking well on leash and her favorite game is fetch. She’s up for anything, anytime – it means getting to hang out with her favorite people! A walk, a nap, a car ride, you name it. If you’re looking for a bouncy, snuggly puppy with a “velcro” personality she’s your girl!
SHEENA
Sheena is a 3 to 4 year old, 40 pound, somewhat petite, midsized Amstaff mix, is polite with other dogs, loves puppies, and is an enjoyable companion. She’s learned that car rides lead to fun things, and she’s mastering traveling in the passenger’s seat, which she seems to think is very special. She walks so nicely on leash. She is crate trained and potty trained. She takes treats so gently, it’s truly endearing how careful she is when offered a cookie.
This dog is a peach. Anyone would be lucky to have her. And she deserves to have her new beginning. We can tell she’s used to being around not-so-nice types, as she often cowers and expects the worst. Its very sad, but she is learning her new life is different now! And we need to keep it that way!
RUBY
WESLEY
BABETTE (aka Bibbles aka Bibbs)
LILY
Lily is a 4-ish year old lab mix. She was abandoned during a divorce and was over-kenneled and being neglected.
Lily is a very good girl. She can be a little unsure around men, particularly those who have a lot of facial hair it seems. But we’re working on that! Once she gets to know you, she is outgoing and fun, listens well and loves to go for walks. She’s a really easy dog to please too.
She absolutely loves to play and she’s a happy upbeat girl. She is happy to carry around a stuffy- she especially loves teddy bears.
BECK
Beck is a 3-4 year old Staffordshire bull terrier. This little pumpkin is a friendly snuggle bug, who is well socialized and dog friendly.
He escaped the Bucksport case house of horrors and has been happy to start his new life. He is a bright eyed boy, who has regained a sense of enthusiasm for life.
He has done well in all his dog tests, pack walks and handling experiences. And he loves to walk in town and see all the new things!
We introduced him to cats, and although he wasn’t reactive, we could tell he was feeling quite uncertain about them- so we are looking for a no cats household at this time.
HEIDI
Heidi is a 4.5 year old lab mix. She is pretty good with other dogs, as long as they don’t try to be bossy with her. She is healthy, utd, and has basic obedience. She is a typical silly lab, and can be like a bull in a china shop with her clumsy ways, but she has wonderful intentions in every way!
She would be a good dog for almost any family and she LOVES kids. We would love her to have her own kid to be with! What a good friend and companion she would be!
She is okay with the kitties we’ve introduced her to- the more confident they are, the less she gets up in their business to pester them. Can’t believe this girl is still here!
She does seem to have some prey drive around chickens and other birds- so a home with no chickens or other birds please!
MACY
Macy is a 50 lb, 4 year-old husky mix who has beautiful heterochromatic eyes and a fun upbeat personality. She knows how to sit before her meals and is working on some simple basic obedience- she’s a very smart girl!
She has a good heart and would make a really nice companion. She loves people of all ages and would love to have a yard to play in with her new people.
She didn’t have the best start in life- someone dumped her at a southern shelter and she was transported up to New England by someone who then dumped her because they weren’t ready to have a younger dog in their house. Then she was passed on to a person who hired a trainer who used adversives with her and when she came to us, although she was still surprisingly upbeat, she was very confused by humans and was nervous, easily distracted, and needing a good decompression/rest.
She is now well settled in and sits quietly in her crate waiting for outings. She loves a nice treat and a fun toy. She has an independent spirit, but she will bond with someone with a good sense of humor, and quickly. She’s always the dog who greats us with a smile, loves adventuring in the woods for a nice walk, and has great house manners. She understands humor and loves silly talk.
She has met cats and did well. She may tease them, but with direction and time to learn their boundaries, she’d be fine.
She is pretty good with most other dogs, except bossy females, and likes chill dogs- especially males. A perfect match for her is a playful male dog. But she’d also be fine living alone.
