Fenway
Fenway
Howdy, I'm Fenway. I am a four-year-old neutered male mixed-breed dog. The AWS took me in as part of a transfer program. Did you know that New England has done a great job of spaying and neutering dogs, but the rest of the country is pretty far behind? They have so many dogs and not enough families to adopt them! That's why many shelters in New England bring dogs up from other parts of the U.S. to help out. I'm a handsome rascal with short brindle and white hair. I get along well with most dogs and kids of all ages. I would also be most comfortable with cats that are dog-savvy since I am interested in them. I am housetrained and would benefit from basic obedience classes to help with general manners and commands. Plus they are a ton of fun! The shelter staff says I have a laidback personality and am also strong and proud. I think we could be the best of friends, so please visit me soon!

Hey there, Misty here. I'm a beautiful six-year-old spayed female cat with short black and white hair. My previous family member passed away so I was brought to the AWS in hopes of finding a new loving home. I get along well with other felines and would prefer to be kept as an indoor-only cat. The shelter staff says that I'm very sweet but also a bit shy until I get to know you. I'm looking for a loving family that will give me plenty of love and affection. Won't you please come by and visit with me? I can't wait to meet you!
Oakes
Oakes
Howdy, I'm Oakes. I'm an eight-week-old male Angora-mix rabbit. I was found as a stray in the town of Dayton along with two sisters. I have great, soft and fluffy brown hair. I'm a very curious and cute little boy who is just a baby. I'll need continued gentle handling to become used to being held and cuddled. Have you ever thought about having a bunny as a companion? We can make great pets for the right family. Please stop by and get to know me!
