About MAC | |
|
|
MAC and his 3 siblings were saved from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs can often have only 3 days to be saved. MAC is neutered rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, monthly preventatives and microchipped. At the time of rescue in the middle of February 2021, he weighed around 3.00 pounds and has an estimated date of birth 24 December 2020
. We cannot say for sure what breed he 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.
WE ARE ONLY ADOPING MAC & HIS SIBLINGS IN PAIRS. WE WILL NOT BE ADOPING THE PUPS OUT INDIVIDUALLY!
Mac and his siblings have been at the rescue since the end of February and have been thriving. They all use pee pads, are all very playful and loving and have razor sharp teeth.
We are looking for a family that understands that small dogs are not toys, they are not dress up dolls and they need a happy, healthy, active life. Small dogs whilst cute, still need to be trained, still need plenty of exercise and are allowed to be a dog, playing, digging in the dirt, chasing leaves, exploring the outdoors.
Puppies are a lot of fun and a lot of work and we are looking for a family that has the time and patience to work with them on their transition. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that these pups need now and as they get older. Small dogs often need dentals a lot sooner than large breed dogs are their mouths are so small, this must be taken into account and families be financially stable for both of the pups.
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.
All dogs are fed Rachael Ray Nutrish PEAK Natural Dry Dog Food, Grain Free Western Grasslands Recipe with Bison. Rachael Ray Nutrish Peak Dog Food receives the Dog Food Advisor’s second-highest tier rating of 4.5 stars.
MAC and a sibling are available for adoption together for an adoption fee of $1,100.
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 adopters need to know that customs charge 15% taxes when entering into Canada.
Due to borders being closed, it is up to families to call the US and Canadian borders to find the current details on border crossing. Animal Welfare is deemed essential in the US, but quarantine rules entering back into Canada must be followed.
If you feel that you have the heart and home to give this precious soul a wonderful life, please go to our website, under the ADOPTION INFO tab, complete, then submit the APPLICATION. Our process takes around 1-2 days, and ensuring your references are aware that we will be calling, could speed up the process. Once you have been approved, we discuss any questions in regards to the dog you are wanting to adopt, then you complete and submit the contract, make payment and then we can work out the pick up / transport arrangements.
Please do NOT submit an application if you are not looking to take home a new best friend within the next few weeks.
ALL Dogs are LOCATED AT THE RESCUE IN SEBEC, MAINE. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Sebec is located just outside the towns of Dover-Foxcroft and Milo (approx 8 miles) and approx 45 miles from Bangor. There are also lots of hotels, motels, pet friendly accommodations and wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend.
