Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Portland, Maine

Meet Kevin!


Kevin is a quiet, tender soul who wants nothing more than to be near his people. While he's a little slow to warm up, once he does, he follows his person everywhere, sleeps curled up in bed with the other dogs, and gently nudges the back of your leg with his nose just to feel close.
Kevin happily takes treats from your hand and absolutely lights up for toys, especially squeaky balls.
A canine companion gives him confidence and comfort, and he thrives when he has a buddy to lean on.
With just a little patience, kindness, and time, Kevin will continue to blossom. He’s already halfway there—his heart is wide open, he just needs someone willing to move at his pace.
