A Memoir with Maisie! Looking back, forward, and beyond with one special rescue dog…

Steve Webster, former law enforcement officer and Almost Home Rescue foster volunteer and adopter, has written a book! In 2019, Steve and his wife, Deb, stopped by an adoption event and met the dog they would soon adopt, Maisie. Since then, Steve and Deb have fostered several dogs for AHR. In A Memoir with Maisie, Steve hopes to raise awareness for both dogs in need and their rescuers.

A Memoir with Maisie is a book that started as a means of therapy for Steve, but ended as a compilation of stories that highlight a life well lived, but not necessarily a well lived life. Steve found an effective way of looking back at his life and giving examples of the power of love, compassion, and hope. He pulled this off while telling stories of many “unwanted” dogs who are now living their best life because someone stepped up and saved them.

Oooh! Blaze is SO handsome!
This brindle boy is young, active and full of love. Blaze is nearly a year old and is a compact and fit 35lbs. He is great with other dogs around his size and smaller, bigger dogs are a bit overwhelming for him. Older kiddos would be best as he has a lot of energy. Cats aren't a great fit. Blaze is so smart, eager to please and ready to learn. He is ready and psyched to join an active family looking for a fun companion.

Stars has arrived in Maine and she is ready to find her forever home!
Sweet Stars is just 7 months old and weighs 22lbs. She is a bit shy and somewhat reserved, so she would do well with another pet to help build her confidence. She is crate and house trained, and great with other dogs, cats and kids. And she is oh, so cute!

Now that winter is REALLY upon us, our dogs may be getting restless inside. The terrain outside in most places is a sheet of ice covered by snow, or by dangerous chemical ice-melt. Here are some fun indoor enrichment games to keep you and your dogs happy and safe.
And when you do go out, consider a warm jacket or sweater (and change it out of it gets wet!), use paw protection and keep an eye on their ears getting cold.

Happy Gotcha Day to Roscoe!
Heckin Handsome Roscoe (fka Garland from Louisiana) has been in his forever home for a year and we got this wonderful update from his family: "Oh my gosh! I can’t believe it has been a year already! Roscoe has gone from a Southern dog to a winter loving Maine dog. He is such an amazing addition to our family! He loves to be outside and goes everywhere with us. He loves to fish, boat rides, run on the beach and snuggle!! Thank you for bringing him to us!"

Zeke is looking for his forever home!
Zeke is a BIG boy. He is currently overweight at 95lbs, but we won't hold that against him. Even at his ideal weight, he's still a BIG boy. He is 5 years old and a mix of a bunch of big bully breeds - American Bulldog/Boxer/Am Staff, who knows! Zeke has a lot of energy for his age and size. He would love some space to air out, ideally a fenced yard to play in but will also need a couple of good walks every day. Swimming would be great for him too given his excess weight and those long legs! Zeke is very excitable and kind of a lot to handle, but he is a happy and goofy boy. There's not an aggressive bone in his body even though he might look scary when he is high speed, bounding to say hello to someone or another dog. He loves other dogs, and is working on his manners. If you have ever loved a big bully breed and have the time and energy to keep Zeke in neutral (or even in low-gear), this guy will not disappoint!

Titan is everything you look for in a dog!
This handsome guy is a 7 year old, 80lb lab mix looking for his forever home. Titan is great with dogs, cats and kids. He is energetic and active but equally loves to chill and snuggle. He is gentle, happy and affectionate. His hobbies include a great game of fetch and exploring on a fun hike. Titan would love a home with a fenced yard to zoom around in. This guy is up for any adventure with his person, and is 100% best friend material.

IMMEDIATE FOSTER NEEDED!
Zeke is a 5-6 year old American Bulldog mix who is in need of an immediate foster due to his mom's unfortunate health decline. Zeke is a very good boy and a big one at 90lbs. He has lots of energy! He loves everyone and everything and can be a bit "unrefined" in his enthusiasm. A person who has a big yard for him to get adequate zoomies would be perfect, or someone who can physically handle walking an exuberant 90lb goofball on leash. Zeke likes other dogs, but has been living as an only since he was adopted in 2021, so we're not sure how he would do in the house with another dog. There probably aren't many dogs who are up for sharing a home with a 90lb party bus, but you never know.
If you are an approved foster and interested in giving Zeke a place to land, please reach out! If you are interested in learning more about fostering, check out our website for more info and fill out a foster application. https://www.almosthomerescue.net/how-to-foster

Your Best Friend Is Waiting.......

Almost Home Rescue of New England is an all-breed canine rescue group located in Maine and New Hampshire. We are 501 (c) 3 nonprofit, dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs.

Most of AHR’s dogs have come from overcrowded shelters in Arkansas and most recently Mississippi; however, we also take dogs from local shelters, veterinarians, and other situations that require rescue. All of our imported dogs arrive with a current Health Certificate, meet Maine and New Hampshire state import and vaccination requirements, are wormed, micro-chipped, and transported on an U.S.D.A. approved transport. We are an all volunteer run organization. All the dogs listed are either still waiting in Arkansas, Tennessee, or Mississippi Shelters, or they are in New England Foster Homes waiting to be adopted
