Hi! I'm Nick, a beautiful seven-year-old neutered male German shepherd mix looking for a family who appreciates and understands my predominant breed, the German Shepherd Dog. I'm back at the shelter looking for my forever home. You may recall that I was adopted a while back and my family returned me because I was wary of strangers. That is just part of my breed. A strong and confident leader can teach me that I do not have to make a decision about strangers or anything else. You will make my decisions for me and I can relax. Continued work on my obedience training will give us a strong bond and a working relationship. I get along with most dogs, and if you have a dog the staff can do a proper introduction. I am housetrained, too! I have touch sensitivity and because of this will only be placed in a home with kids over twelve years of age. Since I have been back at the shelter I appeared in the Kennebunk May Day Parade and have continued my obedience work at the shelter dog obedience classes on Thursday nights with one of my favorite volunteers. She took me to the parade too. If you are looking for a 100 percent German Shepherd Dog in heart, personality, loyalty and smarts - but without the classic pointy ears - please come see me!

Hey, hey, I'm Logan. I am a seven-year-old neutered male Persian with long buff colored hair. The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in the town of Wells. That's why it is so important to put a collar and tag even on indoor cats. Once we get outside, we can easily become lost. I'm a handsome fellow that likes other cats and children. I have been declawed and will need an indoor-only home. The shelter staff says I'm a very friendly boy that will make a wonderful companion for a special family. Please stop by soon. I'm waiting for you!

Howdy! I'm Ozzie. I am a nine-month-old male Dwarf mix rabbit. Have you ever seen a cuter face? My previous family could no longer care for me, so they surrendered me to the town animal control officer, who then brought me here to the shelter. Now I'm in search of a new, loving family. I'm a curious and friendly boy that can't wait to make your acquaintance. Please stop by the shelter soon!
