Romeo & Juliette

I'm Juliette (Jules for short) - the bee-you-tea-ful torite, and unlike many torties, I am sweet and adorable. The handsome tiger is my brother Romeo. That's right, we're siblings and.our foster mom gave us these names to show how bonded we are. We just turned 2 years old, and we still share the cat tree, and cuddle together on the bed. Also, I confess, I often still wash my brother's head - I want him to look his best when our new people are looking for us.

Opie

Meet Opie!!! Opie is a 1 ½ year old, 20 lbs., neutered male beagle mix. He is up to date on all his shots, heartworm negative and microchipped! This sweet boy was found as a stray in Millbury, MA by the Animal Control Officer and was never claimed by his former owner. I am assuming he had one at some point because this handsome guy knows several commands! Such as come, sit, paw, leave it, drop it and even speak! Although, he does need some work walking on a leash and does much better with a harness.

At his foster home he won over his foster parents in minutes with his unconditional loving and goofy demeanor.

Bolton

Meet Goofy-also known as Bolton! Bolton is a 6 year old, 60 pound cuddler. He is a neutered fawn and white Bulldog mix patiently waiting for his "furever' home.

Bolton is a sweet-hearted dog who loves to snuggle and make people laugh with his goofy antics as his photo clearly shows. He enjoys belly rubs and playing in the pool when it's not too cold out. Bolton's laid back attitude means he is an ideal family dog-he is great with kids of all ages and would love to help with homework time by listening to kids read aloud.

Olie

Olie is a stoic senior Shih-Tzu with Marty Feldman eyes. Olie is looking for a place in the sun, a window to gaze out of and a set of feet to keep warm. His needs are few. Ollie is estimated to be 11 years old and just received a clean bill of health. Like most seniors he has been given some instructions by his doctor including diet and exercise. Olie's weight is has reached 23 pounds, that's a bit high for his breed. Olie's foster mom is now feeding him a grain free weight management formula food. Olie is house trained, walks well on a leash and is fine around other dogs. Ollie's cat compatibility is unknown, however, since Ollie has not shown any prey drive towards squirrels or birds we believe he can co-exist.
