About HOLLY

All of our available animals are located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. Once approved families are invited to schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and hopefully take home their new forever best friend. HOLLY is spayed, core vaccines, de-wormed, monthly preventatives and microchipped. She has an estimated date of birth of 19 June 2021. Her mother is Sheena a white GSD. Holly will need her rabies vaccine when she is between 4-6 months old. We cannot say for sure what breed she is, so we expect families to do their own research on his look and size and decide what breed you think he is and if you have the lifestyle suitable for his needs. HOLLY is a PUPPY, a BABY, she is going to be a lot of work, people tend to forget how much work puppies can be, so make sure you do your research or seriously consider if you have the time and patience for a crazy, high energy puppy. She is going to need house training, leash training, obedience training, learning all rules of the house, learning who her new family is. She is going to be chewing on anything she can get her mouth around. She will most likely cry or whine ass he is used to being with all her siblings, her mum and all the dogs in the rescue. PUPPIES ARE A LOT OF WORK. HOLLY is a very happy puppy, her personality is developing and so will grow into how you treat her, train her, socialize her and expose her to many different environments, people and situations. She is mouthy and has sharp teeth as all puppies do so take into consideration if you have small children. Holly is going to be a medium, large, active dog and so we are only accepting applications that has and will have the lifestyle that will be most beneficial to her needs, now and over the next 10+ years. More pictures and possible video's can be found on her page on the rescue website. You MUST understand that dogs need time to decompress and adapt to their new environment and home. It is a HUGE transition they make from the kill shelter, being vetted, on transport for 3 days and arriving in Maine where the temperature and such is very different to what they have only known. In rescue there is what is known as the '3 Point Rule' Days 1-3 your dog is stressed, anxious, confused as to where they are now. Weeks 1-3 your dog is adjusting, settling in, learning things. At the 3 month point, your dog understands they are home, and have built up a trusting relationship where they feel loved and secure. The rescue buys food in bulk, by the truck load and there are a variety of brands and flavours. None of the food given is less than a 4* food rating in accordance with dogfoodadvisor.com. There have not been issues with eating any of the varying foods. It is important that you do your research on the ingredients and speak to your vet or a nutritionist on grain vs grain free! HOLLY would benefit from a HIGH QUALITY PUPPY FOOD! ALL dogs are available for adoption for an adoption fee of $550 or if adopting two dogs/pups $1,000 for both dogs. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas, or other locations, countries to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food, general day to day cost of running a brick and mortar rescue and anything else that is needed. Canadian families must confirm with the border that they are able to cross and have the required vaccines, documentation and anything else needed to enter the US.
