Pet of the Week- Lanister!

Posted on by Alicia Pensarosa

Lanister

Hi!  I am looking out the window here at the Cape Ann Animal Aid located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter in Gloucester.

The shelter here is amazing – they have everything and the volunteers and staff are so kind, gentle and caring. Check out our website at: CapeAnnAnimalAid.com

If you have the time and energy for an active pup like me, Lanister; who is a three-month-old, Shepherd mix, stop by and visit me. Yes, pups are a little work, but we give so much back in return.  My siblings and I are so loveable and eager to learn.

The reason why I am looking out the window, the nice volunteer is walking another pup and I want her to come in as I really need a back rub!

Hi, my name is Hoops, I am a three-month-old golden retriever/Hound mix.

I am staying at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter in Gloucester until I am adopted.   Let me tell you about myself, as I know having a new pup can be challenging. I am loveable, I am sweet, gentle, kind and eager to learn.   If you would like to see other photos of me, check our website at: CapeAnnAnimalAid.com

I am really happy here, the staff and volunteers are wonderful and the shelter is so beautiful.  We have many pups and cats who have had a difficult start in life and to be able to come to such a great shelter and receive such loving care is so appreciated.  I hope you might consider adopting me.  Did I tell you how loveable I’am – just take a look at this face?

Look at those paws!

Pet of the Week-Duke

pet of the week, cat, kitty

My name is Duke!    I actually came to the shelter by mistake.  I was an outdoor barn cat and was mistaken for a stray.   It was decided because of my ear that I should become an indoor cat.   I have a unique ear that they call a cauliflower ear.  The condition was caused by an ear infection that has now cleared up.   I am a friendly guy who likes people better than horses, and now I am looking for a nice warm home and family to love me.   I will need to have my ear checked to keep me in top notch shape.   If you would like to meet me, please stop by the Cape Ann Animal Aid located at the

Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter in Gloucester.

I hear everyone talking about the Winter Ball on February 9 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Cruiseport Gloucester, Six Row Square, Gloucester.   Check our website at CapeAnnAnimalAid.com for details!
