Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. BERNIE was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas and and    arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Saturday 15th March. We post our available dogs in states across the east coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes to find perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs, families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and then hopefully take home. BERNIE is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, and in March 2025 weighed 65 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of August 2023.    We can not say for sure what the breed is, we expect families to decide looking at any pictures and video's provide and decide if the breed is a good fit for their family. BERNIE along with 3 other OES were surrendered to the shelter in poor condition. They have since been shaved down. It is important for any family interested to be aware of the HIGH grooming needs of this breed of dog. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks. BERNIE is available for adoption for an adoption fee of $550, as noted he is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine and families are required to complete and submit an  adoption application and when approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and hopefully take home this sweet boy. Applications are processed with 24 hours of them being received.

PENNY is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly preventatives, microchipped, and in March 2025 weighed 59 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of April 2024.    We can not say for sure what the breed is, we expect families to decide looking at any pictures and video's provide and decide if the breed is a good fit for their family. Penny was in a foster home for the shelter before transport and the family did note that she did start to get a little protective, not aggressive, over her food and toys with the other dogs. This is quite common for dogs that have had to fend for themselves and it just takes time, patience and training for them to learn and adjust. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks.

Story
Meet Nellie, the 9-month-old Labrador with endless energy and a heart full of love! She’s always ready to play, whether it’s fetching a ball, running around the yard, or simply joining in on the fun with her favorite humans. Nellie is the perfect fit for a home with older kids who can match her boundless energy and keep up with her playful spirit. However, her enthusiasm may be a bit much for little ones—she’s like a furry, adorable whirlwind, and she’s always on the go! She’s a work in progress with training—she’s getting there, But with a little patience, lots of treats, and a dash of love, she’s sure to become a well-behaved girl.She has lived with cats before and is perfectly happy to share the space—though she’s still learning that personal space is a thing.If you’re ready for a happy, playful companion who’s bound to steal your heart Nellie’s your girl!**Because Nellie is still learning the concept of personal space, she will need to meet with any other dog(s) living in the home before adoption**
