Give a Dog a Home Rescue is a volunteer based, non-profit charity located in the rural town of Sebec, Piscataquis County in Maine. We have a brick and mortar kennel building and currently a very small foster-base. |
 |
Our goal as a rescue is to not just save lives, but also to enrich ALL lives. By working to continue & expand our integration of the rescue & local communities we can give a very much needed mutual benefit to animals and humans alike. |
The tables below shows programs we have up and running. Programs we would like to have up and running and also areas and skill-sets we are in need of to maximize as much of what the rescue can offer, and needs, to truly impact our animals and our communities.
SKILL SETS Needed - These are just some areas in where we would love to have teams of volunteers, either working individually on ideas, or setting up committee's to work on a bigger scale to make a bigger impact. Professionals would be amazing, but also young people, or anyone needing to beef up their resume or skills
