From Susanna Richer of Dogs Deserve Better Portland:

Due to the recent loss of our kennel space - Dogs Deserve Better - of Maine is in desperate need of foster homes and/or donated kennel space. Dogs deserve Better is a 501c3 non-profit organization specializing in dog owner education as well as the rescue of chained, tethered and penned dogs.

We have placed over 150 dogs this year, many of which come from abusive situations and/or high kill shelters.

We not only rescue and place dogs within New England, but also pull dogs in line for euthanasia from high-kill shelters in the Southern states. The dogs are transported to New England almost weekly and then placed in wonderful homes.

Fostering a dog is an excellent way for prospective adoptive parents to experience dog ownership and to 'test drive' a dog in their home environment with out making a long-term committment to a specific dog. Fostering also makes a dog more adoptable as they are able to regain self confidence and trust in humans that may have been lost in its previous 'home' environment.

Dogs in need of foster homes right now include:

Buster
Custard
Muppy
Tudey
Thelma
Tyler
Tess

All dogs coming onto our rescue are spayed/neutered and updated on vaccinations.

If you can provide a temporary or permanent safe haven for any of these cuties, please contact:
