A "tail" of two puppies 💜.
These👻 frighteningly adorable puppies are in search of homes! They are unrelated and do not need to go together.
Meet Zeni (left) and Roo (right). Zeni is a playful small mixed-breed female looking for a fun family. Roo is a very small breed looking for warm arms to fall asleep in! Learn more about these two cuties at: https://www.scituateanimalshelter.org/adoptable-pets

Happy National Cat Day! 🐱 Today we’re celebrating the cats who fill our lives with love, laughter, and just the right amount of attitude. But we’re also shining a little extra light on the ones still waiting for their second chance.

Meet the cats currently available for adoption at Scituate Animal Shelter! 🐾

In order of appearance:
Iris • Gaia • Blizzy • Cupcake • Esmerelda • Blue • Snowball • Bella • Phantom

Every one of these cats has their own personality, their own story, and the same wish… a loving home to call their own.

National Cat Day is also a reminder of the importance of adoption, rescue, and spaying and neutering to help reduce the number of cats entering shelters.

Visit the link in our bio to learn more about our adoptable cats.

Email [email protected] to request an application.

Can’t adopt? Share this post! You never know who might spot their new best friend. 🐱

He’s sweet, fun, and ready to bring a whole lot of happiness to someone’s home.

All Bill needs now is someone to call his own.
