Friends in need of homes

MILFORD — Sterling is a super-affectionate, lap-sized three-year-old silver mini-poodle mix who loves to be held and cuddled. She loves everyone, including animals she’s come in contact with at the shelter. Already spayed, she’s ready to go home to a loving family where her sweet personality and love will be cherished by all. Swinton is a three-year-old Chow mix who was abandoned when her family moved away. Don’t let her frowning face fool you, she’s a very sweet and friendly girl. She’s also is good on a leash and following basic commands. While she definitely does not get along with cats, she’s cuddly and gentle with adults and would be happy in a one-pet adult household as a loyal and loving companion, happy to be always close by. Oscar, a medium-sized Maine Coon mix thought to be about two or three, shows off his distinctive good looks with an orangey-colored nose and a silvery gray and white coat. His easy-going friendliness endears him to everyone he meets - including other kitties at the shelter. No doubt, he’d happily fit right into a kitty-loving home.
