Hello, pleased to meet you.  My name is Zoe and I fell on some difficult times as my loving family did not want to part with me but had to because of housing issues.   I am an affectionate and mellow girl.   I am residing here at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane, Gloucester.  Everyone is treating me just like family and I am comfortable, loved and being well taken care of just like my original family did.   I am hoping that I will find a forever home soon as I do love home life.  I am eight years old, I love taking walks and receiving hugs.

I love to ride in the car, and if you work from home or are retired or can have a dog join you in the office, that would be perfect.  I have also lived with children and adults and get along with all.

I am a loyal girl and hope that you might want to give me a second chance in life and stop by and visit me.  If I see that you are coming to adopt me, you will know me as my tail will be wagging 100 times a minute!

Hi!  My name is Twin, a two-month-old pup.  I am staying at the Cape Ann Animal Aid (capeannanimalaid.com), located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane in Gloucester.   I am here with my siblings and we are enjoying playing outside – there are a lot of things to investigate and great places to walk with the volunteers.  I weight about 16 pounds and I think I will be medium in size when all grown.   I think I might be part Lab or beagle.  We are affectionate and sweet and glad to make new friends. We are just starting to learn about walking on the leash and mastering things like stairs – wow – what a lot of work?  Would you like to help me out and mastering these things together.  I am willing to work hard  if you are!

I would really like that because the best thing in the world would be to have a family that loves me as much as my Cape Ann Animal Aid family does!

Hello!  My name is Laura Lee, I am a six-month-old female Lab/Hound mix.  I am an active and affectionate girl.   I like making new friends – humans and canines, too.    I am learning on how to walk nicely on the leash and looking forward to getting it down pat.   I weigh about 43 pounds and I think I will be medium to big when I am fully grown.  I am a very sweet, goofy and fun dog.   If you would like to learn more about me, please visit the Cape Ann Animal Aid (CAAA), located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, located at Four Paws Lane in Gloucester.

I have a wonderful nose to sniff things out – I don’t think I will be much of a hunting dog, I think I will just sniff out toys and treats!
