Meet Bailey!! Bailey is a 3 year old Great Pyrenees. Bailey is neutered and current on all vetting.

Bailey came to Maine from Florida where his previous owner found themselves living in their vehicle with Bailey. With limited money, Bailey was unfortunately underfed and lost a lot of weight. When he was finally surrendered to rescue, he only weighed 70lbs. His ideal weight should be closer to 100lbs.

The wonderful news is that Bailey's amazing foster has cleaned him up, given him some loves, and feeding him regular full meals! This guy is rebounding with gusto and will be ready for his new family as soon as they find him.

Bailey loves other dogs, cats, pays no mind to his fosters chickens or pig and LOVES kids!! He really is a gentle giant ♥

If you are interested in meeting Bailey, please fill out our adoption application - link in comments

Happy national dog day!! 🐶 We wanna take today to spot light adoptable dog Ramsey!!

Hello, my name is Ramsey. I am about 5 years old. I'm a Pitbull Terrier Mix who is up to date on all my vaccines and neutered. I have spent about half of my life in a high kill shelter area just outside of Houston Texas, the other half was as a stray in the dangerous Texas environment fighting to stay alive. I had a home for a little while. In April of 2023 I was adopted, the shelter staff was so happy for me! The home I went to wasn’t nice to me though and I was picked up again as a stray in July of 2024 by the same shelter. My friends at the shelter were shocked at my state. I was extremely underweight, my body was full of wounds and scars, I was defeated by life, but somehow, I was still so excited to see them! The shelter staff healed my wounds and took great care of me! They have taught me how to sit, stay, come, shake and walk like a gentleman on a leash! My friends at the shelter all loved me so much that while I waited for my ride to Maine, they got me a room at a dog hotel! They know I love to meet new dog friends and human friends! They even sent me with toys to my new foster home because they know how I like to play! I also get to go on car rides that I just LOVE. I sleep every time! I think adventures are great! I am enjoying Maine but would really love a forever home where I can snuggle and be loved.

Ramsey is ready to be your BEST FRIEND!! Ramsey loves other dogs and all people but can not live with cats.

If you would like to meet Ramsey, please fill out an application. Link is in comments 🩵

I am FINALLY getting paperwork completed after our meet and greet adoption event this past weekend. Let me tell you, we brought 7 amazing dogs. 3 puppies, 2-7 month olds and 2 adult dogs.

ALL OF THEM GOT ADOPTED 😭🩷🩷🥰💙💙

My heart is so full! So many families added to, so many homes and arms opened. So much love. I love it.

Mozzarella, Grapefruit, Bowie, Aspen, Tito, Michael and Jackie all found their families. And while I did not take one single picture as per usual, I would LOVE if the adopters would post pictures of their new babies!! I have gotten a few sent to me that I shall share!

Aspen - now Remy 🥰

Jackie - now Layla 😍

Tito - now Louise or Weezie 🥹

She is a baby who was on the euthanasia list. She was freed today by the lovely Emmy and is now traveling to her foster where she will relax while we work on transport.

This weekend we recieved the most touching donations. Iris, who has gone to school with Benji since kindergarten, chose us to be her charity project! Iris belongs to Bath Assembly #6 Order of the Rainbow for Girls. Her donation boxes were dropped off on Sunday!!

We are so grateful for all the donations that included something for everyone of our animals here 💜 There was even $140 included.

Thank you to Iris and her family, especially her mom Michelle 🩵

We are so excited to tell you about Ernie 🩵

Ernie just came off of a long 3 day transport from Texas. He was staying with a LOVELY lady who took excellent care of him while he awaited transport. He came in last night and I got to snuggle him for 30 mins before his foster scooped him up and took off!! After some well deserves R&R this little guy has proven to be truly amazing!

I would also like to say he will be available for adoption but his foster fell in looooooove so its all TBD at this point. But anyways - LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS 😍😍

OMG! Are you looking for the post perfect dog ever?? Well, let me tell you what Chips foster has to day about him.

Whoever adopts Chip is going to be one lucky person! Chippy is 40 lbs, and 3 years old. He has that forever puppy look with those giant ears. He is so sweet, amazing, and we have so many fantastic things to say about him. He loves every person and dog he meets. He is that perfect mix of couch potato when it is down time and then ready for a ride in the car or going on a walk. This boy is a dream on the leash. He is crate trained for when you need to go to work and then wants all your snuggles when you are home. He is the perfect gentleman looking for his forever family.

So who wants the best dog ever?? Apply now!

Meet Nala!! Nala is 2.5 year old, about 80lbs and a Great Pyrenees. She is fully vetted and ready to come home with you!

Nala found herself at a shelter in Florida where for some reason, she was shaved. No worries though, her coat is coming in very nicely!! Nala is a playful, happy girl who just wants love. She is gentle with food and waits her turn for a treat.

She does chase cats and small animals, does not seem to want to hurt them but does chase them. She has some work to do with her manners but does know 'sit' and 'shake'.

If you are interested in meeting Nala please fill out our adoption application at https://form.jotform.com/241957474861166

Meet Boo 👻!!! Boo is 13lbs, about 2 years old and we think a Pomeranian/chihuahua mix. He is neutered and vaccinated.

Boo was found dumped in Texas by a good Samaritan. They scooped him up, got him vetted and sent him north!! This little guy is soooo sweet!! He loves everyone he meets. He is great with other dogs and recently met a cat. He wasn't sure what to do with the cat, but after a discussion with his foster mom, he decided it was best to leave the kitty alone. Boo does great in the back yard and on a leash. He appears to be a very healthy little guy and is search for his forever family!

If you are interested in Boo please fill out our application, link in comments.

I need to catch up on another amazing adoption!! This past spring, my good friend Amanda was asked to take on a dachshund whose mom fell ill. Her wishes for her boy was that Amanda would take him and make sure he was happy for the rest of his time. Luca had only known 1 mom but transitioning to Amanda's was easy given the dog friendly nature of her home. Luca stayed with her for a few months to adjust to his life after losing his mom.
We took 1 photo to our community day and set it on the table and well, word spread that we had a Dachshund for adoption and before I even got a chance to post him, his new mom was already sending in an application. Amanda took Luca to meet Pam and it was love at first sight. Luca spends his days being spoiled rotten, walking on the beach and lounging at the beach house. What more could we ask for! 🥰

Luca and Pam, we are so happy that you found each other and we wish you nothing but the best!! If you ever need anything we, and Amanda, will be right here :)

Grapefruit wants to know why she keeps getting overlooked? First it was in Georgia and now here in Maine 😢

Grapefruit is a sweetie!! She is 1-2 years old, fully vetted and 100% good girl. She loves ALL other dogs, is good with cats (is learning not to chase them) and is great with kids! Grapefruit is always up for a good adventure and at the end of the day is ready for a good snuggle on the couch. Grapefruit loves to play, run and would make an excellent hiking partner. She is great in the car and crate trained!

If you are interested in Grapefruit, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/241957474861166
