Ziggy
Ziggy
Hey, hey, Ziggy here. I am a 10-years-young male yellow Labrador mix. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because of a move and lack of time for me. I'm a handsome boy who has previously lived with cats, although I have not seemed to like cats here at the shelter. I do like most other dogs after the proper introduction. I am a bit playful, but might get tired out by a younger, playful dog. I have a very gentle demeanor and would do well with kids of any age. I love to be petted and hugged! As with any dog, kids should be supervised when around me. I can be a bit possessive of my food when other dogs are around. The staff can tell you more about this. I also appear to be housetrained. The shelter staff says I'm a great boy who should do well in any average home. I'm sweet, calm and could use some short, daily walks with my new family to help me shed a few pounds. I may not be able to handle stairs very well. Why not stop by soon so that we can get to know one another?

Well, hi there, my name is Lydia. I am a gorgeous six-year-old female kitty with medium length hair. The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in the town of Biddeford. During my stay here, I have been in a cat community room and have enjoyed my feline companions. I'm not sure how I would feel about dogs, though. I'm a friendly girl who just loves to purr up a storm. I think we could be the best of friends if you just stop by to meet me!

Hi there, I'm Landon. I am an adult male lop-eared rabbit. I have soft and short white and tan hair. Quite the cutie, wouldn't you agree? The shelter took me in because I was abandoned outside their door. That made me very sad, but my friends here tell me that I may find a new family. That sounds great to me! You could be my hero by stopping by and meeting me. I know I can win you over with my charm and cute wiggly nose! Please stop by soon!
