Review for Give a Dog a Home Rescue, Sebec, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

We got Milo last summer from Give a Dog a Home. Let me count the ways this org is awesome:
1. There are videos posted regularly of the dogs in action. This allows you to get a really good sense of the dogs' behavior and how they interact with each other, with people, with new stimuli.
2. Jenny does a terrific job evaluating and rehabbing her dogs. She was spot on with our 'Mr. Mayor' Milo Muggsy Liben.
3. The dogs do not have food aggression because they have communal and open access to food. This is a BIG DEAL with rescue dogs, who generally have anxiety about where their next meal is coming from.
4. Jenny does not have nutty requirements like 'the dog must be fenced at all times' or 'you must swear to never let your dog off the leash'. She wants her dogs to go be good companions, well trained and adaptable. We, for example, live in the country and have taught Milo and our shepherd Will, to have excellent recall. So they get to hike and walk off leash, like mannerly dogs should be able to.
5. Jenny wants to expand into veteran service dogs and everyone who reads this should help her do so!
