Hey hey, Boscoe here. I'm a handsome, seven-year-old male Rottweiler. My previous family surrendered me to the shelter for insurance reasons. I'm a cool dude who is in search of a loving family. I have never lived with cats and should most likely live in a cat-free home because I may chase them. I do, however, do well with most other dogs. I do have some touch sensitivity and also can be a bit aggressive over my food, so I would prefer to live with kids over 12 years of age. I do appear to be housetrained and would benefit from the trade-up game which helps to lessen food aggression. Basic obedience classes would also be great to help with manners, commands and forming the dog/family bond. The shelter techs say that I'm a nice boy who would do well in an adult home without a lot of commotion. Think we could have a great life together? Then please visit me soon!

Howdy, Ferris here. I'm a gorgeous six-year-old spayed female cat with varicolored, medium length, tortoiseshell hair. Just like my varicolored hair, I also have a variable personality! I can be a bit feisty, and then the sweetest girl you'll ever meet. The shelter took me in because I was a stray in the town of Kennebunk. I'd like to be an indoor-only cat and would also prefer to be the one and only pet for you to love. My ideal home would not have any other cats, dogs or children. Older teenagers would be o.k.; they just need to understand that I don't always like to be picked up a cuddled. Won't you please open your heart and home to me? I'm here waiting for you!

Are you looking for a bunny that is not only smart, but is handsome? Look no further you found him. Hi, I'm Brady. I am one-and-a-half-year-old American lop-ear bunny. I came to the shelter after my family developed allergies and couldn't properly care for me. Now I'm in search of my forever home. I am a really sweet buy, who just loves people, loves to be held and enjoys being groomed. Do you like Granny Smith apples? Me too. They are my favorite apples to eat. Yum! Did you know that bunnies like toys? My favorite toys are chew toys and playing in boxes and paper bags. It is so much fun to play in a box or a paper bag! I enjoy being picked up, too. When you come to visit and open up my cage, I will hop out just to say hello. Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm litter-box trained. If you are looking for a bunny that is just all around awesome then please stop by for a visit. You can read more about bunny and caring for us at
