OUR MISSION AT

Grammy Rose Dog

Rescue & Sanctuary

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.

To provide the local community with employment, volunteer and recreational opportunities including an on-campus ice cream shop and mini golf course whose proceeds support the rescue’s operations, and to partner with service organizations to create mutually beneficial dog care experiences.

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

Spotlight on Wasabi!

This beautiful young lady is named Wasabi, and came to us with her sister Sofrito from the Caribbean island of St. Thomas. She’s a spayed Black Mouth Cur mix, she’s 11 months old, and she weights about 48 pounds.

Wasabi is a very friendly dog with good, playful energy. She loves walks, fetching, and playing tug of war, but is just as happy chilling out with a chew toy. She’s incredibly friendly, and is ready to settle down with her chosen family.

Wasabi’s sister was adopted recently, and now it’s her turn – she can’t wait to meet her forever family and begin her new, better life here in New England. If you’re interested in meeting Wasabi or would like more information, please call us at 844-DOG-LIFE (844-364-5433).
