LARGE BREED PUPPIES AVAILABLE AT THE SHELTER! TWO MALES, THREE FEMALES

These cuties are St. Bernard-Mastiff mixes who WILL be enormous dogs-at not quite 4 months old, they are already between 46-56 pounds each. If you're interested in adopting, here's what to expect:

🐶All puppies will be at the shelter at 693 Mt. Hope Ave. when we open at 1pm on Tuesday, August 12th until they're all adopted.
💲Because they are such a special breed, their adoption fee is $750. This fee includes: wellness exam, all age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming & flea/tick treatment, rabies vaccinations, and spay or neuter.
🏡If you rent, we MUST be able to verify with your landlord that you have permission to bring home a pet.
🐕If you want to adopt a puppy and you have another dog(s), you must bring your dog(s) along for a meeting to make sure it's going to be a good fit.
💙First come, best fit.

DO NOT LEAVE PETS UNATTENDED IN VEHICLES THIS WEEK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! Even on a 70-degree day, a car will heat to over 100-degrees in very short order.

Special thanks to our friends at Eastern Maine Emergency Veterinary Clinic for raising awareness as temperatures soar!

There is a heat advisory for Maine, Monday from 11am to Tuesday at 8pm. This means that your pet can be at risk of heat stroke and other heat related injury or illness.

The afternoons are NOT a good time for a hike or run and car rides where pets have to wait in the car is risky today. Please be mindful if you have an elderly dog with respiratory disease or smooshed face breeds. Since dogs get rid of heat by panting, heat and humidity can make it really challenging for them to regulate their body temp!

It's too darn nice to go home and cook tonight. Wizard was craving chimken nuggies and thought Chick-fil-A sounded delicious. We love the way she thinks! And when you place a mobile order for pickup at the Bangor location between 4pm and 9pm TODAY, simply enter the code BGRHUMSOC at checkout and they'll give the pets of BHS 25% of your order! Need a milkshake? We get 25%! A salad? 25%! Waffle fries? 25%! So grab Chick-fil-A on the way home and then go outside and play with your dog!
