Featured Animals:
Names: Stormy, Meeko, Poe, and Neo
Sex: Male and Female
Age: Young
Breed: Domestic Short hair
Organization: Pets in Need
Hi! We are Stormy, Meeko, Poe and Neo. As you can see we all love each other very much. We were abandoned in a house, but thankfully not for too long. The maintenance person found us and held onto us to see if our owner would come back for us, but they never did. Then we were surrendered to Pets In Need. We recently were all neutered, and the vet there found out we have a really bad dental disease. Our brother Stormy was the worse, and he ended up having ALL of his teeth pulled! He is currently in recovery in a foster home. The rest of us are at PetCo in Nashua. We all need dentals as well, but the rescue is trying to raise the money to do them for us. Hopefully we won't end up like Stormy with no teeth! But it will take a lot of care to help us keep our teeth. If you would like to adopt us or would like more information on us, please email sara@animal-adoptions.org!

Name: Max
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Adult
Breed: American Bulldog
Organization: MSPCA Boston
I am a 14 year old American Bulldog, I know, 14- can you believe it? And I am still so active. I love to run around and say hi to all of the other dogs and I just adore back rubs. I am the perfect companion dog because I am active enough to run around with you but am mellow enough to be the best bed or couch companion you've veer seen! Don't let my age discourage you from visiting- all it means is that I have more wisdom than those younger pups! Stop in and say hi. I would love to meet you and show you how special I really am!
