Alvie
Alvie
Hello there, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alvie and I am a 10-year-old neutered male longhaired Chihuahua. I'm a handsome boy who is in search of a special home. I get along with some other dogs after the proper introduction, and I also should do well with cats. Due to my age and touch sensitivity, I would prefer to live in a family with mature kids over the age of 12 years. I am housetrained, but with all small dogs, my bladder is small so I can't hold it as long as a larger dog can. I would enjoy going through basic obedience classes, which would be fun and would strengthen the dog/family bond. I do have a grade 5 heart murmur, which is a serious condition. I've been doing well and there is no immediate medical care that I need. My new family can do further care for me if they are able to. Overall, I'm a sweet, older gentleman in search of a quiet, loving home where I can be spoiled and showered with affection. Please stop by and get to know me soon!
Madge
Madge
Well hello there, Madge here. I am a three-year-old female cat with short tri-colored tiger hair. Quite the pretty girl, don't you agree? The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in the town of Biddeford. I'm a sweetheart that would love to move in with you. The shelter staff says I'm a very friendly and outgoing girl. I'm in search of a loving family who will love and cherish me. I do not want to become lost again … that was really scary! Could you offer me a safe and secure home? Please visit me soon and I know we'll hit it off! Stop by for a visit!
Ashley
Ashley
Howdy, my name is Ashley. I am a three-year-old female dwarf-mix rabbit. I have beautifully soft gray hair. The shelter took me in because my previous family had allergies. I get along well with children and have a sweet and friendly personality. Rabbits can make wonderful companions for the right family and can become quite cuddly and accustomed to gentle handling. I think we could be the best of friends. Please visit me soon!
