Falkor - in Maine

Posted November 2025

 

FALKOR is a handsome combination of Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd, and he possesses the wonderful qualities for which both breeds are known and loved! This athletic 18 month old pup has had the great fortune of living with wonderful foster families so we have some great info to provide. Falkor weighs 49 lbs.

 

Falkor is definitely the kind of dog who must be part of the family. He thrives on human companionship and while he is friendly with other dogs, he prefers to interact and bond with "his" people.  He has coexisted with several adult cats and was very respectful and observed boundaries. 

 

Falkor is also great with children, and would be a wonderful addition to a family with kiddos.  This sweet boy enjoys the outdoors, exploring and looking for twigs and good smells on his walks.  A fenced yard would be a great bonus so he can roll in the leaves and soak up the sun. He walks very well on leash and benefits from a harness

 

Falkor is crate=trained and house trained, but like any dog there will be an adjustment period while he learns new routines. He is not accustomed to being kenneled for long periods of time, so his ideal home would be one where he doesn’t have a long alone day.

 

Falkor’s Maine foster family says he is doing so well! He may not have seen stairs before because he comes down them just fine but needs coaxing to go up. He can get excited and jump on new people so they are working on that with Falkor. He plays great with dogs and kids who are patient and respectful. Falkor is FAST and playful. He’s been eating in his crate and doing well. He gets extra excited around meal times and he will learn to settle easier once he has a routine and realizes he never will have to worry about being fed again.

 

If you have interest in Falkor or any of our sweeties please fill out the adoption application. 

 

Please note: we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England. Once approved, we expect a potential family to travel to the dog in the foster setting so that they are introduced where they are feeling safe and loved. 

Thank you for considering rescue!
