It was a good day to be Arlo! 🧡 He had lots of visitors which meant lots of belly rubs and head scratches!
Arlo`s one of our newest residents and one of the largest. Yup, our buddy weighs in at a little over 25 lbs! So he`s looking for a family to love him AND help him stay on his diet. With help, he`ll slowly shed the pounds and find his healthier, happier self.
Pop up to our link in bio to learn more about this big handsome dude!
For Animal Shelter Appreciation Week we encouraged you to share your Happy Homes stories with us, and you delivered! We wanted to share some of your stories that stood out to us.
Polly:
"Polly is a wonderful adult shelter bunny who keeps a neat running area except for her designated demolition cardboard spot! Her cardboard demolition keeps her out of trouble. It really works! Her favorite spot is sitting under the plants and hops up on the couch or chair for petting time. Polly spends the day in a 5 foot by 4 foot enclosure when we are not home to keep her safe. We love our Polly and hope she has many years with us ❤️"

Hi everyone, my name is Loui (pictured right) and I’m here with my son Bronx (pictured left). It’s our pleasure to meet you! We are a bonded pair here at AWS and have a stronger bond than most as father and son (though sometimes we act more like brothers!). With Thanksgiving around the corner, our friends at AWS asked us to share some important tips to have a safe Thanksgiving.

A special thank you to @patriotsubaru for supporting AWS through their 12 Weeks of Giving! Their campaign supports local charities and community non-profits like AWS all year, and we were chosen as their November organization. Thank you for supporting the animals of our community!
As reported this week, AWS is caring for a number of shih tzus taken in by state`s Animal Welfare Program last month. We are pleased to announce that the dogs are receiving much needed veterinary care at our Community Veterinary Clinic and many will ready for adoption very soon. In the meantime, our amazing foster families have opened up their homes to these dogs, showing them love and compassion, teaching them basic skills on how to be a family pet, and giving them a home-like setting liked they`ve never experienced.
We have received a lot of inquiries into the shih tzus. We are grateful for the interest, and thank you for your support and well wishes. We ask for patience as we get the dogs ready for the next chapter of their lives. Some have significant medical hurdles to overcome and others simply need a little more time to decompress in their foster homes before they are ready to be adopted. All adoptable pets are posted on our website as soon as they become available. Therefore, we encourage those interested in adopting one of the shih tzus to keep an eye on our website ➡➡ https://animalwelfaresociety.org/adoption/dogs/
As with all our adoptable pets, when you see a dog online that you’d like to meet/adopt, please follow the instructions on how to adopt from AWS. All adoptions at AWS are first come, first served, so we will not be taking a list of names or offer "pre-applications" for any of the shih tzus. ➡➡ https://animalwelfaresociety.org/adoption/how-to-adopt/
Our Adoption Center is open daily (closed Thanksgiving Day) from 10 am - 3:30 pm and we are located in Kennebunk, Maine. Thank you for helping us, and our fellow Maine shelters, support the state of Maine`s Animal Welfare Program when they needed us most. We know these shih tzus have a wonderful future ahead of them!
