Meet Our Seniors
DeeDee (Doris)
14 and 1/2 years old
DeeDee is a 14 1/2-year-old puppy mill dog, from a location right here in Maine. DeeDee was taken from the facility and ended up at ARLGP, where they contacted Laurie Dorr, and she arrived here at Finally Home in April 2025.
DeeDee is not used to being handled, so we are taking it very slow with her, but have already learned a lot about her. DeeDee wants to be with people and gets along with all animals here at the home. She is very sweet and adorable, weighing only 11 lbs. currently. We plan to help her gain a bit of weight and have learned she loves treats already.
We all love DeeDee and plan to spoil her for the rest of her life. ♥
Bear
12 Years Old
Bear came to us in December 2024. Bear’s owner passed away, sadly, leaving Bear with no one. He was taken in by a relative for a while, until they determined they could no longer keep him. Bear is a cute, smart, funny little guy. He is reportedly a black lab, but with very short legs. He is also lightweight, with a very shiny and soft black coat.
Bear’s Smile – With Tail Wagging, Of Course
Bear LOVES toys, especially those that squeak! You can find him lying on the floor with a squeaky toy in his mouth, just making it squeak, squeak and squeak.
We are thrilled to have this guy as a part of our pack! He gets along with all of the dogs and even the cat in the home. Let’s hope we have many fantastic years together.
Dove
12 years old
Dove is a 12-year-old puppy mill dog, who has had innumerable litters of puppies. She was finally taken to a shelter when the breeder was done with her. Fortunately, a local rescue saved her, and she then came to us here at Finally Home in February 2025.
Dove is the friendliest girl ever, with a tail that never stops wagging. She seems very happy to be among our friendly pack, who get a lot of attention from our fantastic volunteers, as well as the Dorrs.
We hope that Dove loves it here and will be with us for a very long time. ♥
Mera
11 years old
Likes: Belly rubs
Mera is a mix of a hound and a St. Bernard. She is super friendly and cuddly. She loves belly rubs and people of all sorts. Mera came from a woman here in Maine who could no longer care for her. She is a sweet girl and gets along with the entire pack, as well as house kitty.
Carolyn
10 years old
Likes: Playing, TREATS
Carolyn (pictured here) is 9 years old and Lucy is 11 years old. They are not sisters, but are a bonded pair. A rescue in Columbia, SC found these two in a kill shelter and did not want them to be euthanized. Both had come from a hoarding/puppy mill situation, and both dogs have had puppies. Carolyn and Lucy are sweet, playful girls who are fitting in nicely with the other dogs here. Lucy is the white, spotted dog and is a mix, but mostly beagle. Carolyn is all brown and is a mix of beagle and dachshund.
Marissa
15 years old
Likes: Attention, getting and giving lots of love
Marissa came here in January 2020, so has been with us for over four years. Marissa spent her entire life in a shelter, and still enjoys her crate here at Finally Home. When Marissa first came, she stayed in her crate most of the time, but now can be found throughout the house with the rest of the dogs and people. She is at ease now and only has issues outside sometimes, when she hears a loud noise. Marissa is a beautiful, happy girl, and we are thrilled to have her here! Marissa is 14 years old now.
Tiger
11 years old
Likes: Walks and his favorite bed
Tiger and Bama came from Alabama where they shared a trailer with 8 other dogs. The owner passed away, and the dogs were not found there with the deceased for approximately 3 days. Although the 8 other dogs were taken in quickly, but these two were not, and were left on the property, with people stopping in to feed them for 3 months. They eventually made their way to Vermont, where Laurie Dorr drove to pick them up and make them part of the pack.
Tiger is a large Catahoula mix, and is a gentle giant. He is very protective and obedient and loves to please.
Dora and Dancer
9 years old
Likes: People, Animals, Everything!
Dora and Dancer are sisters, and came from an Amish puppy mill in NJ. They are 9 years old, and for the first time, are loving life. They are mini cockers, and smaller than most cocker spaniels, but have big personalities. They love everyone and everything. They love their food, treats, walks, grass, beds, etc., etc. We are so excited to be able to provide them with a better life, for the rest of their lives. 💗
Tucker
Tucker is a miniature poodle who came from a home here in Maine. Tucker is 13 years old and his owner had to move into a memory care facility, and unfortunately could not take Tucker with her. Tucker is a small little guy, but with a big personality. Tucker has the sweetest underbite which makes him all the more loveable. Tucker is now living in one of our long-term foster homes. We are so grateful he has joined us.

Earl came from a home here in Maine, where they could no longer keep him. Earl has a big smile and is always excited to meet new friends and see old friends as well.

Stanley
Stanley came to Finally Home in February of 2024, when he was 16.5 years old. Stanley's owner could no longer care for him, so he joined our pack, and is doing fantastically. Although it was a bit tough at first, Stanley has fit in nicely with all of the other dogs, and loves to be pet, go for walks, and of course, he LOVES his treats. Stanley will be 16 years old in August of 2024.
