CASPER - Fostered in Turner, Maine's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Casper was saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Wednesday 3rd August. We post our available dogs in states across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs — families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine to meet and, hopefully, take home their new best friend. Health & Background âœ... Neutered âœ... Rabies and core vaccines up to date âœ... On monthly flea/tick preventatives âœ... Microchipped âš–ï ̧ Weight: 33 lbs (mid July) Estimated DoB: 1 April 2025 Casper was lucky to go to a Foster Home on 20 December, sharing his new temporary home with a former GaDaH foster dog (foster fail). Foster update to follow in a few days when he has settled in. Foster Family Update - 29 December 2025 Casper has settled in quite well. He and Tilly, my 8 y.o. All American (also from GADAH) are doing well, playing and chasing quite a bit. She occasionally corrects him when he gets out of line and he's respectful of that. He's still not great on a leash and, now that the holidays are behind us, we'll be working on that. He appears to be very trainable and is responsive to both treats and praise. I'm beginning to suspect he may turn out to be a "Velcro dog" as he wants to be close to me all the time! That may just be insecurity due to his recent move here; time will tell. He loves, loves, loves toys! Squeaky toys, stuffed toys, anything that makes noise - he plays with them all. At first, I thought he wasn't house broken but that turned out to be because he's so "leash shy". Since he's learned to pee while on the leash, he has not had a single accident in the house. He does NOT ride well at this point. When we drove home with him, he drooled for the entire two hours - in quantities that would have made a Mastiff proud! We're also working on that, taking rides up and down the driveway most days. As his tolerance grows, I'll increase the distance. Cats are a work in progress. I have three, all dog-savy, and I'm not leaving him alone with them at this point. He ignores the oldest female and is mostly reasonable with the male but is too aggressive with the younger female for comfort. I'm not sure if that's something I'lll be able to train him out of or not. He may turn out to be better off in a home without cats, although I'm not sure of that yet . He's very affectionate - a real love bug - and will make some family a wonderful addition. He's going to be a nice, manageable size, energetic but not crazy, eager to please and smart enough to learn whatever you want him to learn. He is truly a delight! Video context - My daughter and son-in-law came to dinner last night. Casper was a bit timid - for about 30 seconds - and then did very well with them. After supper, my son-in-law laid on the floor to play with Casper and was thoroughly snuffed. Henry is extremely ticklish and those whiskers must have really tickled! Casper was a bit confused by it all!

Give a Dog a Home Rescue's Adoption Policy

If you would like to start the adoption our process is below: 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. 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. 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 as I run a boarding/day care business and the rescue and so am really busy, but by planning ahead of time I can be pretty flexible.
