  STAR (previously named Your Highness was transferred to GaDaH from a high kill shelter in Texas on 22nd April 2023.

We take a lot of pictures and videos and don't always have the time to post them on the dogs individual webpage and adoption site, so we ask that you go to the rescue  YouTube channel  and  photo albums on our Facebook page  to see a LOT of pictures and videos.      

STAR is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm/tick tested negative. She is on monthly prevention, microchipped, has an estimated date of birth of 11 November 2018 and at the time of transport weighed 69 pounds. We have no way of knowing what the actual breed is, so it is up to people to look at the pictures and video's to make up their own mind.

FEEDBACK from an overnight on our Let's go for a Walk, Doggy Day Out Program -1 October 2023

Hi Jenny, I want to thank you for allowing my nephew and I to take Star home for the night.  Star is an absolutely wonderful and loving dog. She definitely loves to ride and seriously so quiet you would not even know there was a dog in the vehicle. She was setting up the whole time in the back seat looking at everything but not jumping or moving around just sitting quietly. We stopped at a Stutzman’s Farm Stand & Bakery on the way home and while inside so many people walking past the truck she never once said a word. Then a gentleman and wife wanted to see her so we took her out and she had no issues with being petted at all. Seems to be great with strangers. During the night she was crated and she slept the whole night through. We had walked her on Saturday and Sunday went on a mile run with me and was great. We passed a horse farm and she didn’t even react at all to them. She seemed to just want to be with us 24/7. So that being said my observation is super loyal, lovable and super smart and absolutely beautiful girl❤️❤️❤️ 

* * * Reduced Adoption Fee - $50 * * * 

STAR has been at the rescue since April and before that at the shelter for a good while. She is NOT doing good in the kennel environment and feeds of the energy and is just super hyped up ALL the time - which is not good for her mental or emotional state at all.
 
STAR was adopted for a few days in May, however it didn't work out and the family brought her back after a few days.
 
I am looking for someone who is experienced with INTELLIGENT dogs, those that understand that they need a LOT more mental stimulation than running playing ball in the back yard for the rest of their life.
 
She needs a quiet family who understands the need to decompress, to go for nice gentle walks, to be able to settle down, learn her new environment and home and just go slow.
 
She loves everyone she meets, although in the kennel initially does have that GSD bark, which can scare people (not such a bad thing) but once out from behind the gate she just wants to love and be loved. She knows sit and walks beautifully on the leash and rides in the car great.
 
Although she has a reduced adoption fee in hopes to get her out of the kennels so she can start to mentally heal as well as start to live a new amazing life, we will not drop out standards and only people with the lifestyle that she needs will be considered for adoption.
 
Although a very high energy breed, she has been estimated to be around 5 years old, so a great age, for still needing exercise, but not at that crazy age where they bounce of the wall if they don't get enough. I recommend no other animals purely for the fact that she truly does need a few months to decompress with out energy from other animals. She is great with people and kids.
 
If interested in this beautiful girl, and understands the need to decompress, to go slow and to give her a wonderful, loving, active life please go to the rescue website to complete and submit the adoption application. I work on applications within 24 hours and so as long as I am able to reach references could have an application approved within 1-2 days.
 
She is so deserving and is just getting more and more stressed in the kennels feeding off the constant high energy from the other dogs!

STAR is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine for an adoption fee of $50.      

This adoption fee covers the cost of running a brick and mortar rescue as well as any transport, veterinary, food,   treats, toys costs and the many expenses that rescues endure to keep the pets in their care safe, and happy.     Be sure to read all the information and if interested, go to the rescue website to submit an adoption application.

https://www.giveadogahome-rescue.org/forms/form?formid=5838

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.
