Jester
Jester
Hey hey, I'm Jester! I am a two-year-old neutered male Pitbull dog. The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in one of the contract towns. I may do well with some dogs after the proper introduction. I would, however, do best in a home with cats that are dog savvy, please. I would do well with kids of all ages, but may knock a toddler over by accident as I have a very high energy level and will need more training. I do appear to be housetrained and have not shown any signs of possessiveness over food or toys. Obedience classes are highly recommended to help with leaning manners and the proper behaviors for a great doggie companion. I do already know the commands "sit" and "shake." The shelter staff says I'm a very nice dog that will excel in obedience classes and with a confident, consistent leader. Please visit me soon!
Black Jack
Blackjack
Greetings! My name is Black Jack. I am a three-year-old male cat with medium-length black and white fur. The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in the town of Sanford. I'm a cute guy that is a bit on the shy side, but quite friendly and loving once I get to know you. The shelter staff says a quieter home with older, gentle children would be the perfect match for me. Please stop by and get to know me!
Surge and Sage
Surge and Sage
Well hello there, we're Surge and Sage. We are two handsome, neutered male ferrets. Our previous family surrendered me to the shelter because they no longer had enough time for us. Surge is a four-year-old with light sable coloring. Sage is a three-year-old albino. We are both friendly and are great companions that will need to find a home together. Ferrets are very gregarious and typically get along with most other ferrets they may live with. We're excitable, fun and very curious. Please visit the shelter soon to learn more about us!
