CARDI-Girl was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs can often have only 3 days to be saved. CARDI-Girl has rabies, core vaccines, heartworm/tick disease tested negative for all. She is de-wormed, monthly preventatives and microchipped. At the time of rescue at the beginning of April 2021,she weighed around 45.00 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of 6 July 2020.    
 
++ REDUCED ADOPTION - $250 ++
 
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.
 
CARDI-Girl was adopted but sadly brought back to the rescue a few weeks later as she was not good with the families smaller dog. The family was heartbroken as other than her and the dog not getting along she had been perfect.  She walked great on the leash, loved people of all ages, adults and children, she was very responsive, learned quickly, gentle, respectful, loving and a great dog to have around.
 
Since being back at the rescue, Cardi has been getting very stressed, she gets over-stimulated with the environment which is of course not good for her.
 
We are looking for a family that doesn't have other dogs, who are relatively active to take her on walks and adventures. A family that is going to work on training and ensuring she gets lots of mental stimulation. We feel introduction to new dogs should be done very slowly and under controlled situations and only when she is finally relaxed with her family and knows she is in her forever home.
 
She is a great girl, wants to learn and desperately wants love and affection. She is gentle taking treats and loves everyone she meets.
 
We are not able to say how the dogs are around cats, small children or livestock. It is up to families to take all precautions and be prepared to work on training, mutual respect and providing safe place for other animals for potential long term.
 
All dogs will use dog doors to go out and do their business or to enjoy the cool, fresh weather in their dog runs or communal areas. We cannot say if a dog is house-trained, however, we expect families to understand that all dogs need a transition period and accidents could happen and training is most definitely needed.
 
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.
 
ALL dogs are available for adoption for an adoption fee of $550
 
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.
