We got our two tuxedo kitties Mittens will be 2 in July and Moxie is 12 weeks today. We sure love them. They are both little love bugs who like to be held and rocked. Very relaxed and play well together. Only took 2 days for them to fall in love! Best thing that’s happened to us! They bring so much joy in our lives! Thank you for the perfect kitties

I had my cat neutered. The kennel was clean and and the cats were happy. The dogs were happy also not much barking. The cost of the neuter was in-expensive.

Adopted a beautiful puppy yesterday. Have to be patient with the process as there were a lot of people in line. But we'll worth it!

We came in today 4/2/2022 and adopted Hazel a 9 month old cat. Hazel loves it in our new home and is slowly getting used to all the noises of our 1880’s home. We all love her so much. The staff was so helpful and knowledgeable. We will be back in a few weeks for a dog.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Most of their animals never seem to make it to the web site. Been several times, peeked into the secured area, seen dogs, dogs never on web site, and always adopted out when we go back looking for them.

i got a puppy there 2 months old terrier mix he is a year old now looking for a playmate for him im thinking a female puppy n what kind would be good for him

Donna michaud | Aug 20, 2019
Travis Decker | Aug 20, 2019

Terriers often have a robust temperment, so I would think about size matching. Think about how big your pup is, go with something that will match him in size when they mature.

Ok, call them or go on their website. See what dogs are available, check Craigslist, Uncle Henry's, and join some Facebook marketplace groups.

Bailey Wheelden | Aug 19, 2020

I used to work as a BHP in Lewiston. I've gone in with one of my clients asking about volunteering. He was 10. I believe you have to be 12 years old to actually volunteer. They are however ALWAYS looking for people to go over and interact/play with a kitten or cat. In the cat "playroom." And 11 years old is totally fine 😊

Kathy Moberg | Aug 20, 2018
Crystal Coolong | Aug 20, 2018

If he tries to bite, stick your finger in the dogs mouth and push down firmly on the tongue. The feeling will be unnatural and they will try to spit out your hand. Keep doing it, and they will learn not try to bite.
