To rescue adoptable dogs from euthanasia and provide them with quality care in a unique, homelike setting as we work to match them with forever families.

A HISTORY OF

Grammy Rose

Dog Rescue & Sanctuary

Located in Acton Maine, our rescue was inspired by the lives of Rose Kessler Wentworth (“Grammy Rose”) and her husband Ralph Edward Wentworth (“Wicky Ralph”). The rescue is a living tribute to their legacy and was built on land that has been stewarded by the Wentworths and their antecedents dating back to the American revolution.

Visiting Our Welcome Center & Gift Shop

Welcome Center Hours

Our campus Welcome Center, the large building to the left as you drive onto our campus, is open 7 days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. year round. When you visit, you’ll be greeted with an informative display that showcases the history of our rescue and highlights the inspiring individuals who helped shape our unique campus. You’ll learn about our mission statement and meet some of the dedicated people who care for the dogs in residence.

Visit the Gift Shop

Be sure to spend time in Rose’s Corner, our gift shop named for Grammy Rose herself, where you can take a piece of the rescue home with you. The shop’s items change seasonally, but always feature a variety of Grammy Rose apparel, dog supplies, heartfelt rescue souvenirs, and locally-made craft items. Proceeds from every purchase from the gift shop go directly to support the rescue’s mission, and we love seeing folks sporting Grammy Rose t-shirts, hats, and hoodies out and about in the community. We truly appreciate the support!

Adoptable Dogs in Need in Maine

Ozzie: Ready for His Forever Family

Ozzie is a handsome Lab mix who is about a year and a half old, and weighs 36 pounds. He came to us from Louisiana and has been with us for quite a while and he’s looking for a forever home and all the love he deserves.

Ozzie has a lot of “younger dog” charm – great energy, a love for life, and a strong desire to be with his person or people. He loves toys and playing, and truly loves hanging out with people getting snuggles and lots of attention. He’s developed some good friendships with other dogs here at the rescue, and he absolutely thrives when he gets to run around and play in our fenced-in play park.

We think Ozzie would be best suited for an adopter or family who has the time to really help him find his true potential. He responds really well to coaching and training and has learned a lot, and he’s ready to go out into the world and make his mark. In the right setting, we believe his Lab genes will blossom and he’ll be loyal to the core. Folks with a fenced in yard that are also willing to take him for walks to explore would be ideal – he really loves hiking through the woods here at the rescue.

For more information of if you’d like to come meet Ozzie, please call us at 844-DOG-LIFE (844-364-5433).
