COVID-19 - Animal Welfare is deemed as an essential business and although we are able to conduct some adoptions, we are following the State of Maine Animal Welfare Divisions guidelines. Please email us for more information, if interested in adopting a dog from GaDaH. "giveadogahome-maine@gmail.com"

WALDO was transferred from a rescue in West Texas to GaDaH. Waldo is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, lepto, heartworm and tick disease tested negative, is on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention, microchipped and at the time of transfer in May 2020 weighed around 15 pounds. He has an estimated date of birth of 23 September 2018.

WALDO is currently living in a communal area with other small dogs and puppies and although he does come out to be social he prefers to keep out of the way of the hustle and bustle of dogs charing around. He was with the rescue in Texas for 18 months and so I am sure he is still unsure as to what happened to him and hopes a loving home will be found soon.

Waldo has access to an enlcosed back porch and either goes out to do his business or will use the pee pads that are down. We are not able to say if he is house-trained other than that, so we expect families to be prepared to work on housetraining whilst he transitions to his new home, life and family.

WALDO is only a young adult and so we are looking for an active family that will take him on walks, road trips and adventures so he can enjoy what the world has to offer. As with all new dogs Waldo does need to be trained and it is beneficial for both him and his new family to do basic training at home, so personalities, body language and mannerisms can be learnt from each other, boundaries and rules set for him.  Training classes are encouraged for socialization also. Since being at the rescue Waldo has not been exposed to cats or livestock so we are unable to say how he would be around them.

WALDO is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue, located in Sebec, Maine for an adoption fee of $550. Families MUST travel to the rescue in Sebec, Maine for meet and greet at time of adoption
