Be sure to read ALL information provided.
A PET IS FOR LIFE -
THINK ABOUT THE INVESTMENT!
LACEY came to the rescue with her mum, Macey and 3 siblings, Stacey, Kacey-boy and Tracey. Their mum was in bad shape and very protective of her sweet pups, but over time learned to trust and the pups started to flourish.
$50 reduced adoption fee per dog if adopted with sibling, mum or other GaDaH dog.
Please do NOT submit an application if you do not have a lifestyle that the dog needs to be happy and healthy.
Lacey is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, monthly preventatives and microchipped. At the time of her spay surgery on 14 January 2021, she weighed around 15.00 pounds and has an estimated date of birth 8 October 2020
. We cannot say for sure what breed she is, so we expect families to do their own research on her look and size and decide what breed you think she is and if you have the lifestyle suitable for her needs.
Lacey has been at the rescue with her mum and siblings living with the house pack and has done great, she is very sweet, affectionate, playful, is very well dog-socialized living with so many dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes. She does use the dog door to go out and play, but if she is inside she will use the pee pads to do her business so house training should be expected and planned.
She is a puppy so not really much to say about her as her personality is still developing. She has never been away from her mum and siblings, other than for her spay surgery where she was with Tracey and she was shaking all the way so either being adopted with her mum or a sibling, or the family having another dog would be very much preferred and beneficial to her.
Lacey is a very sweet gentle girl, she does jump up a little for attention but is not imposing and listens well. She is great with other dogs as you can see in the many pictures and several videos posted on the website. She has been friendly and affectionate with humans and is an all round great natured girl.
We do not know how she will be around cats or livestock so families are expected to be prepared to work through potential problems and provide a safe and happy living environment for all animals, and humans.
Lacey is going to be a medium/large high energy dog and so she needs an active family who already have an adventurous and active lifestyle they can incorporate her into. She is a smart girl and so training and continued mental stimulation is also very important to make sure she gets the healthy, both physical and mental lifestyle that she needs and deserves.
More pictures and possible video's can be found on his 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.
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.
Lacey is available for adoption for an adoption fee of $550, unless adopted with a sibling or mum and then her adoption fee is $500
This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas 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.
