Sailor was saved with his siblings from the Island of Grand Bahamas and flown into Maine and brought to the rescue on 22nd February 2022.

Sailor is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick disease tested negative, dewormed, microchipped and is on monthly preventions. He has an estimated date of birth of 25 July 2022 and on 16 February 2022 weighed 39 pounds.

Sailor and his siblings have been at the rescue over 3 months now and have come such a long way. They were all very shy when they first arrived, but given time they have grown in confidence and are affectionate to people enjoying to get their ears scratched and chest rubbed. Neither of the siblings have ever been on their own, so when they leave to go to their new home it is going to be scary and stressful, so the family must be aware and willing to give them time to adjust. They are an active breed mix and so we are only looking for a family that has the lifestyle that suits their needs and will be sure to work with them on training, lots of mental stimulation and lots of walks, treks and adventures.

The rescue buys food in bulk, by the truck load and there are a variety of brands and flavors. None of the food given is less than a 4* food rating. 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!

​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.

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 we can schedule your appointment to come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine for meet/greet/adopt

Please do NOT submit an application if you are not looking to take home a new best friend within the next few weeks.
