Zeke is waiting as patiently as he can for a forever home!
This big guy is a total goofball. At around 85lbs, this 6 year old handsome hunk is indeed a lot of dog, and he is lot of love. Zeke loves his daily walks and zooming around in enclosed areas (while trying to woo the ladies with his killer dance moves). Once he has had his energy zapped, Zeke is totally content to chill and snuggle up, he absolutely loves getting affection. He's ready to be a cherished part of a forever family!
Check out Zeke's full bio on our website for more information. https://www.petfinder.com/dog/zeke-in-new-hampshire-50635203/nh/windham/almost-home-rescue-of-maine-me65/

Bear (fka Braxton from Louisiana) has been in his forever home for six months! We got this sweet update from his family:
"Bear has been a pleasure to have, provided lots of comical relief and has made lots of new friends (human and doggy alike). Bear's first experience with snow really came in during the winter months where we had over 30 inches of snow to play and have the zoomies in. Christmas was a lot of fun with Bear checking out the presents under the tree to see which were his and to see if Santa Paws brought him some new toys and treats. As the temperature has warmed, we have been enjoying time outside on long walks, meeting new people and dogs, and playing. Bear is looking forward to starting his first full disc golf season when the weather warms up. Bear cannot wait to go on new adventures disc golfing, camping, and hanging out with new friends"

Happy Gotcha Day to Finn (originally from Mississippi)!
Finn has always had the best ear action as a puppy and sharing his pictures always made me smile. Love that he is still a one-up/one-down kinda guy. Such a cute boy!

His Mom gave us this cute update: "Finn is the best boy, loves playing in the yard and chasing his feline brother Pumpkin. His canine brother's head spins while he watches.
Finn is curious and loves life. He loves playing ball in the yard, going for rides or just snuggling in to watch a movie. He just wants to be with his people and fur brothers. We could not love him more."

Sweet Moon is giving you those eyes like "Um, hello, I would like to come to Maine soon and find my forever home, um, please and thank you".

Moon is a about 8 months old and is on track to be a bigger guy, currently at around 40lbs. He is absolutely gorgeous and has the nicest brindle coat. Moon LOVES other dogs and is also great with cats and kids. He can be a little shy at first, but with the company of another dog, he totally comes out of his shell. We would like to find Moon a home with another dog as he really seems to thrive in the company of other dogs.

Don't you just want to love (and even smoosh) this sweet face, those big brown eyes and that tiny little pouty lip every day for the rest of his life? Check out Moon's bio on our website for more information. https://www.petfinder.com/dog/moon-coming-to-maine-soon-74446293/me/south-portland/almost-home-rescue-of-maine-me65/

Beau likes to move it-move it, Beau likes to wiggle-wiggle! Beau also likes to lean in for lovin' and get all the ear and bu**um scratchies he can get. Beau is a lover of everything you have to offer, no questions asked. EDIT: Beau may not do well with other dogs!

Beau is a 5ish year old hound mix who is high-energy, active and affectionate (and high-energy and active in showing his affection, lol). Beau loves to be with his people and right in the middle of the action. He is athletic, adventurous, up for any outing, but also loves kickin' it around the house, and playing in a fenced yard. Cats are a little scary but okay, and older kids are okay too, but remember he is high-energy, active and affectionate all at the same time.

Beau is total goof, the class clown and an absolute ham. If you are looking for a happy, fun and loving sidekick, Beau is the ham for you!

Blaze is a super fun and wicked friendly 35lb mixed breed dog who is estimated to be around 11 months old.
Blaze has a lot of energy and will definitely benefit from some formal training. He came from such a terrible environment that mostly he’s just celebrating his new start in life and can’t quite control his excitement.
Blaze is a sweet guy, and is happy to chill once he gets his zoomies out. He loves to learn new things and is eager to please so training should be a breeze!
Check out our website for more information on this gorgeous guy with endless good boy potential. https://www.petfinder.com/dog/blaze-is-in-maine-75043105/me/south-portland/almost-home-rescue-of-maine-me65/

A VERY special happy sweet SIXTEENTH Gotcha Day to Carma (fka Carmel from Arkansas)! Carma's mom shared some lovely photos and an update on this sweet girl. We are over the moon happy to hear how well she is doing!

Her Mom's note: "The pictures I'm sharing are from over the years since she was 9 months old. We lost Henry, my other AHR rescue last year, at 17 years old. In 2016, Carma got her own puppy Frida. The last picture was taken by a dear friend when I thought Carma was not going to make it. But here we are over a year and a half later celebrating 16 years together. She has been with me through many changes and is my heart and soul. I will be forever grateful to AHR for giving me the best furbaby and friend I could ask for."

And sometimes, it’s even nice out when we go out to p*e!

Happy 4th Gotcha-versary to Lilith (originally from Mississippi)!
We loved getting this note from her Mom: “Lilith is the best dog. She is our adventure buddy, our couch companion, our best friend, and the sweetest, most empathetic animal we’ve ever met. No matter how rough a situation, she always finds a way to be exactly what we need when we need her, which is why she gets repaid with so many pup cups and treats.
I still can’t believe it’s only been 4 years and that she came from such intense neglect.
She feels like a once in a lifetime dog, so trust we’ll keep appreciating how amazing she is and giving her the experiences she deserves.”

Happy Gotcha Day to Bear (originally from Mississippi)! Or should we call him Big Spoon? Bear’s Mom gave us this sweet update: “Bear is doing amazing! He’s the silliest, strangest, and cuddliest pup I’ve ever encountered. Him and our 5 year old dog Luna have bonded so much. She takes her big sister duties very seriously but they’re attached at the hip! Our human 3 year old loves to give them kisses every night before bed too. He sleeps with us every night and half the time I wake up as his little spoon 😂 he really has been the perfect addition to our family”.

Happy Gotcha Day to Maggie (originally from Mississippi) who sounds like she was quite the handful (or hind leg full?). The velociraptor era is very real, and it can be really fun if you are able to provide outlets, as it sounds like Maggie's mom has done.

She tells us: "The past year has flown by and Maggie is in her velociraptor era. She's super nosy and thinks everything is just for her. She is learning slow but sure and I'm grateful she no longer chews on the door moldings. Lots to repair! Maggie is 70 pounds now and I swear she has Great Dane legs. On her hind feet she's 5 feet tall. She absolutely loves going to daycare and playing with the other dogs. I take her there to get rid of excess energy and socialization, usually once a week depending on the weather. Maggie is a sweet Velcro dog."

Tinkerbell is still on the hunt for her forever home!

Tinks is a 5 year old terrier mix who has been with us since November. She had a leg fracture and required a lengthy post-op recovery and is now ready to rock and roll. Exercise? Yes please! Ball, ball, ball? Throw the ball again and again! Toys? The squeakier the better! We have also learned that Tinks loves kids! Once she has finished playing Rockstar, she loves nothing more than to snug up to a human or watch the world go by out the window. Interactive play and exercise are key though, otherwise you will have a bored terrier on your hands. Tinks can be vocal, especially if bored, so apartment living may not be a great fit. Tinks doesn't want to live with another dog, and cats aren't high on her list of likes either.

If you are looking for a fun, smaller dog who wants nothing more than to be your busy little shadow, look no further, Tinks is your terrier! Check out her bio on our website for more info. https://www.petfinder.com/dog/tinkerbell-is-in-maine-74778665/me/bangor/almost-home-rescue-of-maine-me65/

Happy Gotcha Day to Apollo (from Mississippi). Another wonderful update on another wonderful dog, from another wonderful family!

Apollo’s family tells us: "We celebrated Apollos gotcha day by playing in the snow which he loves and he got lots of extra love and treats! We cannot believe a year has flown by with our boy. He feels like he’s been a part of our lives for much longer. He is spunky and sweet. He’s cautious and tolerant. He’s been great at making new dog and people friends. He has great recall and knows a few solid commands and we are always working on more. Thank you for allowing this pup to be a part of our lives!"

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
