Many of you have been asking about our super popular “Toast to the Animals” celebration. After several COVID-19 cancellations and not being able to host this great fundraiser, we are finally ready to celebrate the animals once again and help support the Central Aroostook Humane Society.

Shy Pets?

There are so many types of personalities when it comes to pets.  “Shy” is a word that some folks use to describe cats and dogs who are fearful. Many times this “shyness” is a fear of strangers, but it can also be fear of being picked up and handled, new places or sudden movements or noises.
