MASON  was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs have just 3 dogs to be saved. He was saved with his mother who is a cattle dog mix and 7 siblings  MASON is neutered, core vaccines, rabies, de-wormed and micro-chipped. He has an estimated date of birth of 15 October 2018 and on 10th January 2019 weighed around 17.00 pounds. He is listed as a Lab / Cattle Dog mix. We have no way of knowing the exact breed, it is up to individuals to decide what breed they think is most likely. 

MASON has lived at the rescue since 12th December with his siblings amongst 15 other dogs ranging from small chi's, middle sized dogs up to adult German Shepherds and so is very dog socialized. He is friendly with people and has enjoyed cuddles from a friends 12 year old granddaughter.

We do not have cats or livestock at the rescue so cannot comment on how he would be around them.

MASON is young and used to being around lots of dogs so we are hoping for a family who either adopts him with his sibling or another rescue or who has other pets at home. He is a young pup and so chewing is very much to be expected. He does use pee pads but also at times does use the dog door to go outside. He will need house training along with all basic training, manners and general behaviour. His personality is still developing and so it will be up to the family to ensure he stays a loving, gentle, playful, affectionate pup whilst growing into an adult dog.

He is going to be a medium / large dog and so we are looking for an active family who goes out and about and intends to take their new family member as many places with them as possible.

We do NOT adopt puppies out to be either emotional support or service dogs, but we welcome applications for out adult dogs.

​We do not recommend dog parks for several weeks, if not months, it is so very important for families and dogs to form a strong bond and get to know each other before exposing them to the potential dangers of dog parks. Although all GaDaH dogs are very well socialized with other dogs, lots of other dogs have not had the benefit of this socialization and do not always know how to play and act with other dogs. You also do not know the control the other families have over their dogs and you should always have a good recall for your adopted dog before going to dog parks.

All dogs (except dogs saved from China) are available for adoption for an adoption fee of $550. Canadian adopters need to know that customs charge 15% taxes when entering into Canada. 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 and anything else that is needed.

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 APPLICATION tab, complete, then submit the APPLICATION. Our process takes around 2-4 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.
