Our MISSION STATEMENT

"Give a Dog a Home Rescue is committed to saving the lives of dogs from high-risk shelters, providing them with safe, comfortable care in Maine, and matching them with loving forever homes. Our mission extends beyond rescue; we are dedicated to strengthening our community by supporting and preserving the bond between pets and their families. Recognizing the high need and imp

ortance of keeping pets and people together, we offer innovative programs such as the Feed the Need Pet Pantry, Wellness on Wheels Low-Cost Pet Services, Humans and Hounds Social Club, Let's Go for a Walk Doggy Day Out, and the upcoming Preserve and Provide Program. These initiatives enhance the well-being of both animals and people, ensuring pets can stay with their families during tough times, and fostering a compassionate and inclusive community."

If you would like to start the adoption our process is below:

Just a reminder - as it states on every animal's bio - all animals are located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. If you live 8 hours away, then you must be prepared to drive 8 hours here and then 8 hours back. This is your choice to make BEFORE completing the adoption application. Please note the rescue is run by a volunteer and is very busy. Do NOT constantly email or phone, if you need to email or call, please send just one communication and wait for someone to respond. Please ensure you have read all the information on the dog in the bio and that you understand all dogs are located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine where, if approved you are required to travel to meet the dog. Submit Application with two personal references and a vet reference. If you have never had pets and do not have a vet, we will need THREE personal references. Ensure references are people who know you and your lifestyle well. Applicant MUST inform vet and references that someone from GaDaH will be calling. As long as we are able to contact your vet and references, it takes just 1-3 days to process and hopefully approve applications. If you rent we will need an approval letter for the breed of dog you are wanting to adopt from your landlord on official letterhead paper or email. This means a letter or email, not copy of your lease! Rescue processes and hopefully approves applications. Once approved, rescue invites applicant to come to the rescue to meet your chosen dog/s, spend time with him/her and then hopefully take him/her home. We do NOT hold dogs so if you are unable to come within a week or so of submitting your application the dog will still be available for adoption to other families. For Canadian adopters, all that is needed to get them across the border into Canada is a current rabies certificate and proof of adoption, which is the adoption contract. Both of which are included in the medical file you will get when you adopt. (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/pet-travel/by-country/pettravel-canada)

Ensure ALL Fields are filled in, if something is relevant, then put n/a or something in so it recognizes an entry. We do not recommend using a phone or iPad since these applications for some reason don't tend to come through and you will have spent a lot of time on the application for nothing as it will need to be re-done. Once we have you approved, we can schedule an appointment for you to come to meet him/her at the rescue in Sebec, Mane and then hopefully take them home to start your new life. I just have to work on an appointment basis. Please understand I run a dog rescue with a lot of dogs, this means I am not sat around waiting for the phone to ring, or able to drop everything and answer phone calls.

Since we have currently have no pupsters here at the rescue, I would ask that anyone looking for a new furry family member check out our wonderful friends at The Minnis Sanctuary, they have all ages, sizes and breeds and are well just an awesome rescue.

Support those that Support You - please share and follow and lets help them find those beautiful saved souls their forever families.

Here are some of the faces of our beloved dogs that are available to adopt into amazing homes right now!!!
We understand that some people may not want to apply to adopt a dog and you may find it intrusive, but we do it with a reason. Every soul that comes into The Minnis Sanctuary is loved, deeply! We care what their futures look like and not every person is able and willing to make sure that they get healthcare and spoiled to the point of forgetting things they’ve gone through.
We have a whole community here of people unable to adopt or foster, but are rooting for these babies, and celebrating along with us when they get adopted and find their forever homes! We need you folks EXTRA right now, because these lovebugs are so very deserving of being adopted and for whatever reasons, they are still here waiting. So whip out those fast thumbs, and get ready to share this post to help us(heck to help them)find their people!

JAZZY cat is the only animal we have here at the rescue waiting for her forever home.

All her kittie friends have been adopted and this morning the last of her puppy friends was adopted.

The senior dogs are not interested in a bouncy, happy, playful kittie and I cannot have her out of the kittie room all day as I have the door open for the dogs.

If everyone could ask everyone they know to see if they have room in their hearts and homes for this amazingly, jazzy, sassy, fun, confident, playful and incredibly affectionate kitte.

The application is at the bottom of her bio on the rescue page. I process applications when I get them, so lets see if we can find her forever family by the end of the weekend.

CAN WE DO IT ? ? ? ? I think we absolutely CAN 🤓

Could I ask that everyone help me in finding this incredibly sweet girl her forever home.

She is all alone in the big kitten room - she gets to come out a few times a day and in the evening, but I have the door open most of the time for the dogs as they like to go in and out - so I can't have her out with the door open.

She cries when she is in there alone and its heartbreaking. She is a social kitty, and has lots of videos you can watch either by scrolling down our page or on her page on the website.
