HOLLY - Fostered in Howland, Maine's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet HOLLY! Holly was saved from a high-kill shelter in Calfornia and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Saturday 19 July. 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. * * HOLLY went to a wonderful FOSTER family in Howland, Maine, (who adopted two pit mixes from GaDaH over the years) on 1st September 2025 Foster Family Update - November 2025 Holly is a showstopper. This stunning blue nose pitbull/lab mix has a fully silver coat and piercing blue eyes that shimmer like moonlight. Yes, she’s as magical as she sounds. But don’t let her beauty distract you from her brilliance: Holly is one of the smartest pups we’ve ever fostered. She’s not just book-smart (though she knows a dizzying number of tricks and commands); she’s emotionally intuitive. Holly reads your body language like a pro and often knows what you want before you say a word. Her perceptiveness makes training a breeze and her eagerness to please makes it a joy. Holly is part couch potato, part kiss goblin. She’ll melt into your lap and smother you with licks, using her cuteness as a free pass to invade your personal space. And honestly? You’ll let her. She’s that charming. She is a young dog and still needs a good amount of exercise to keep her healthy and mentally challenged. Her gentle nature makes her a dream companion. She’s goofy, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. Whether she’s making you laugh with her antics or dazzling you with her obedience, Holly is the kind of dog who could win competitions, or just win your heart. She loves to chew, so stock up on sturdy toys. And if you’re looking for a dog who will amaze you daily, cuddle you nightly, and love you fiercely forever...

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.
