Skinoda
Skinoda
Greetings, I'm Skinoda. I am a four-year-old neutered male Husky/Labrador mix. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because they were moving and could not bring me along. I'm a very handsome boy who shows interest in cats at first but should settle down with them. I also like some other dogs, but I do take a while to warm up to them. Gentle dogs who approach slowly would be much better for me. I have some touch sensitivity with my feet and would prefer an adult-only home. I have not shown any signs of possessiveness while here and I also appear to be housetrained. Basic obedience classes would help with confidence building, general manners and with building the dog/family bond. The shelter staff says that I need a confident leader who is willing to bring me through obedience classes and to work with me on my confidence. Please visit me soon. With you by my side, I can do anything!

Howdy, Missy here. I am a one-year-old spayed female cat with short black hair. Did you know that black cats often get overlooked at the shelter? I'm not sure why … maybe we just don't stand out enough. Well, just look into my eyes and you'll see that I am a beautiful, sweet girl who is looking for a family to love. The shelter took me in because I was found as a stray in Sanford. The shelter staff says I'm a calm and quiet girl. I can't wait to find my new family, so please stop by soon.

Hello there, my name is Dominick. I am an adorable eight-week-old male American-breed rabbit. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter because they could no longer care for me. I have soft white and brown hair and love to be petted and loved. Since I'm so young, with regular, gentle handling, I'll mature into a wonderful companion bunny. Please visit me soon and we'll get to know one another!
