ELAF alum, Otis, living his best life here in Maine!
So happy for you, Otis! Thank you to his adopter, Michelle, for giving him such a wonderful life!🙏🏻🩷
Murphy.❤️🩹
Another dog who is only living in the moment. He’s forgotten the past and all the terrible humans who tried to hurt him. Murph loves EVERYONE!
He’s finishing his preventative care in Texas… and will be headed to Maine for adoption. Reach out for more info on this wonderful dog💌💌💌
🩷Gorgeous Nina! Here she is playing with her semi-paralyzed foster brother… what a sweetie she is!🩷
Nina is still waiting for her forever home, and we’re unsure why!🤔
This girl is LOVELY! She loves other dogs and is very playful. As is typical of her breed (cattle dog mix), she’s a busy kid and will need active folk who like to walk and hike regularly with their canine companions. She could also make a wonderful agility dog!
✅house-trained
✅crate-trained
✅respectful of cats 🐈
Nina is about 1.5yo and 35lbs. She’s vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. She’s ready to go!
Message us for more information!💌💌💌
Our newest intake was sprung from the shelter this morning! So much has gone into developing a plan for this girl, and we are grateful to each person who had a hand in making this possible for this exceptionally lucky dog.
Donations to her care appreciated… she is an older girl who has seen much sadness and suffering in her life, and no doubt she will need a lot of medical care.
Welcome, to ELAF Sophie… your true life starts TODAY!❤️🩹

The dog someone was trying to run over with their car.😭
He’s safe in his foster home.🙏🏻
✨❇️✨Adoptable Ella!✨❇️✨
This sweet little girl is about 7 months old and currently 17lbs. She should be a small/medium-size dog as an adult. The vet thinks she’s a terrier (see some beagle in there??) mix.
Ella is crate-trained and dog-friendly (her BFF is a German Shepherd she enjoys wrestle sessions with😆!) As with all dogs, she should have slow introductions with new dogs.
Ella is a busy girl and will need active folks to walk and hike with her. Sounds like she’d be a wonderful agility dog, too! She’s working on some playful puppy mouthiness (so older kids would be best) and on leash-training!
She’ll be finishing her preventative veterinary care in Texas and will be headed north for adoption very soon!
Interested in this very cute, very unique-looking puppy? (And who wouldn’t be?!) Send us a Facebook message!💌
✨Obi is doing great!✨
This sweet boy is settling into his longterm Texas foster home while recovers from his hindlimb and tail amputations and starts treatment for heartworm disease.
We’re hearing he is quite loving and appreciative of all the good care he’s getting. Thanks to all of you for the support for Obi! 🩷❤️💙
🔴Update 7/2: still on the street. Still in need of a Texas foster
🔴Update 7/3: still on the street. No foster offer.
Yet another post in search of a South Texas foster family for this poor fellow. 😭😭😭
The need is unending for homeless dogs in this area. But we are fully committed to helping as much as we possibly can. We hope to change the destiny of these dogs, and get them on the path to the wonderful lives they deserve.
This sounds pretty great, right? Well, we can’t do it alone! We need TEXAS fosters to keep helping. This guy is on the street, waiting for his hero to come along, before he gets hit by a car, shot, or poisoned. For real.😕
Texans: Please message us if you can help. It must be an inside foster situation. We provide veterinary care, supplies, food. You supply care and lots of love.❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
✨❇️✨Adoptable Jackson!✨❇️✨
This adorable young fellow was found all alone wandering around a Texas gas station a few months ago. Luckily for him, he happened upon a kind person who scooped him up to safety!
Jackson has had several vet visits, and other than initially being covered in fleas, infested with GI hookworms, and having some localized ringworm (all par for the course in Texas), he’s in very good health! He’s also lucky enough to have an awesome foster family who’s taking very good care of him in Texas!❤️
Jackson is approximately 16 weeks old and we’re guessing he’ll be around 50lbs as an adult (though we can never be sure!) The vet thinks he’s a shepherd mix (can’t be sure on that either… but the ears could certainly indicate that!😆)
One thing IS sure though… Jackson is very sweet, playful, busy, and ADORABLE. All the things a puppy should be! He’ll be finishing up his preventative care in Texas in the next few weeks and then will head north for adoption!
Interested in making this young fellow part of your family? Send us a Facebook message!💌
Update: we don’t have details, but apparently this pup is being helped by another rescue. Onward to the next dog in need!🙏🏻
❌❌❌Texas foster needed!❌❌❌
This little PUPPY is not safe! She’s still out there… all alone at the spot she was dumped😭😭
If we can find a Texas foster family, we can help this little one! We pay for veterinary care, supplies, food, transportation….you supply the love and daily care.
Please consider fostering… you could truly save this innocent life. We cannot help unless there’s a safe local place for the dog to go🙏🏻
Message us if you can help❤️🩹
Adoptable puppy, Jackson, getting some love from his foster family!🥰
This guy is finishing up his preventative veterinary care in Texas and will be headed north for adoption!

A little (actually BIG) Cecelia update!
This little girl was recently found on the side of a busy road, presumably after being hit by a car. Although she was able to stand, she was very unsteady. After seeing her X-rays (which showed bilateral femoral neck fractures, multiple pelvic fractures, and a fibular fracture) we’re not quite sure how she was able to stand, let alone walk around. She must have been in SEVERE pain.
Cece was also significantly anemic, had GI hookworms, and sarcoptic mange. With the good care of her foster family, the anemia has almost completely resolved, and a fecal and skin scrape test on Friday showed do evidence of either of those nasty parasites!
Cases like this are tough. Euthanasia was definitely on the table due to the severity of her injuries. But then… you look at this face. This absolute trooper of a dog has had a good appetite since day one, she loves to be loved, and she is very engaged in the world around her. It’s very obvious she wants to live. Pretty hard to give up on a dog like that!
Cece heads to the orthopedic specialist tomorrow for an evaluation and then surgery on Tuesday. Of course it’s very expensive ($6k)… as most good and appropriate care would be for such extensive injuries. But this dog is barely a year old and such a sweetheart, we want to be sure we do all we can to make her as comfortable as possible for her lifetime.
We surely can’t save them all, but we can save a few….and make sure they get all they need to live the best lives possible.
Any donations toward this very expensive undertaking appreciated. We so appreciate your support!🙏🏻🐾🩷

A few days ago, we saw this video.😣
There are so many dogs in need constantly. It’s relentless… so many dogs and people asking for help.
But some images you absolutely cannot get out of your head. This is one of them.
Lucky for this girl, kind folks found her and scooped her up to safety. She’s been to the vet and is in very rough shape. Multiple pelvic fractures, hookworms, significant anemia, sarcoptic mange, road rash, and her obvious severe emaciation. But we’re here for all of it.💪🏻🩷
This kid is one TOUGH and brave cookie. She must be in such pain, and yet she’s so patient and kind with all who handle her. Welcome Cecilia, aka CeCe…named for her rescuer.❤️🩹
Donations to her care appreciated… as always, we are grateful for your support 🙏🏻

Good Monday morning, from Little Orphan Annie!
This sweetie is doing great! She’s feeling good and filling out nicely! She goes to the vet for her next round of vaccines next week!💪🏻⚕️🩷
She’ll be available for adoption very soon!
Desi. Headed up from the Rio Grande Valley to her new foster home outside Houston.
She loves her foster dad, Jose🩷🐾
Good Monday Morning to you!
If you’ve got the Monday morning blues, we have just the thing to put a smile on your face! Here’s ELAFer, Newman, spending some time with his husky foster sibling, Aleswith.🤗
We recently got some exciting news: Newman tested negative for heartworm (post-treatment)! He’s cleared to travel to Maine! His adopter is getting pretty excited to meet this spicy, cute, snuggly little man! And so are we!🩷🐾🐾🐾
🩷Update: this girl is now safe with a foster and another rescue!
Yet another truly dumped Texas dog. Living on a literal pile of trash on the side of the road. An ardent street feeder of local stray dogs found her while making her feeding rounds.😩
This girl is still happy, trusting, and oh so innocent!She doesn’t realize the variety of horrible fates which potentially await her. She continues to wait patiently for the people who dumped her to return, not realizing they are never coming back…. and she is truly alone in this world.
We are making yet another plea for a Texas foster. No foster family stepping up to help in Texas means no help for homeless, neglected, and abandoned dogs like this one. Please, please be part of the solution, and help save a dog’s life. This dog is NOT SAFE…. She’s still out there.🙏🏻
⭐️Texans: please reach out via Messenger if you can help. All medical care, food, supplies, and transportation are paid for by us. That’s why we exist.❤️🩹
