Meadow
Meadow
Greetings! My name is Meadow. I'm a beautiful eight-years-young female German shepherd. The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in one of the contract towns. I have the cute one ear up, one ear down look going on. I'm a good girl that may get along with some dogs after the proper introduction. I find cats to be very tempting and probably should not live with them unless they are very used to inquisitive dogs. I can be a bit scared of sudden movements, so I would prefer to live with kids over the age of eight years. I have not shown any possessiveness over food or toys and I also appear to be housetrained. Basic obedience classes are always recommended to help with my general manners and to also form the bond with my new family. The shelter staff says that I am a very sweet dog that loves attention. Please visit me soon. I want to be part of your family!
Ladon
Ladon
I bet you can't guess how old I am. I keep on fooling people because I definitely don't act my age. I am also very entertaining, which I think makes it hard for people to figure out how old I am. I like showing off by being goofy around. I will sit up nice and straight and when you get close I will stand on my hind legs and stretch out my paws for you to pick me up. I sure did fool the picture person, too! When they leaned over I decided to get a piggyback ride. It sure was a short ride, but was soooo much fun! I'm Ladon. Do you want to take a guess at my age? You won't hurt my feelings. Promise! Drum roll please … I'm 12 years old! No fooling! I came to the shelter as a stray from Arundel. Who would believe a guy like me being homeless? I get along with kids and cats. I would describe my personality as extremely affectionate. I love to be petted and just being with someone. Do you think that you would like such an entertaining cat in your life? If so, please stop by. I will show you all my tricks and win your heart. Till then...
Dutch Bunnies
Dutch Bunnies
Hey there! Is there anything cuter than baby bunnies? We three don't think so! We are six-week-old Dutch rabbits with short black and white hair. We were surrendered to the shelter because our previous family had too many animals. We are adorable and at the perfect stage in our lives to become used to being picked up and handled. We can get used to children and other animals as well. We are two boys and one girl and we can't wait to find new loving families, so please visit us soon!
