They are too cute!

Who couldn't use a story with a happy ending these days?

More and more Mainers are unable to care for their pets, often leaving them abandoned outside of animal shelters.

I have never thought much about the idea of pet CPR. You know you go the vet, your lovely pets get their checkup and shots and such, and that's just about it. Well thanks to the Portland Police Department and the Maine POM Project, you can now get some basic skills on pet CPR.

It's cold out there and the pets need clothes! You love to dress them up anyway, so this is the perfect excuse to bundle them up without giving in to their judgy puppy-dog eyes.

Lakota is the latest Pets Pride of the Week winner! Send us photos of your pets showing their New England Football pride through the app. Let's see them!

Even worse, the infestation is located near a local elementary school

The question arises every winter: are pet owners capable of adequately protecting their pets from inclement weather, and what are the consequences if they are not? Pennsylvania recently defined how cold is "too cold". Will Maine follow suit?

These two Mainers are taking time off from their jobs to lead a rescue mission for pets in the path of hurricane Florence.

No kidding... if you've got a pup, you better pay up!

If the Captain seems a little more sleep deprived as usual is because he just got a puppy! Her name is Quimby and she is 8 weeks old. Because of the two teenage daughters in Captain household, the puppy already has an Instagram account (of course) so she can share her fabulous puppy adventures. And now the Captain is jealous....of his own dog.

This is Shayla in her new orthopedic bed, her cat Stanley has moved in with her. Stanley showed up at our door a couple of years ago during brutally cold temperatures and decided that we are his family. He withstood the humiliation of being sniffed and pushed by our two dogs for the first hour of his arrival, then it was like he had been with us forever...

My Siberian Husky, whose name is Caesar, was born and raised in Florida. Until we moved here, I would often find him on my patio sunbathing. Many of my friends told me Caesar would love the snow... that he was genetically made for it, so I didn't worry about moving him from a humid climate to a cold one...

Everybody wants to be heard, even pets! A quarter of us are friends with somebody's pet on Facebook. I thought that listening to someone talk about themselves in third person was irritating, but this takes it to a whole new level! What would Seinfeld say about pet social media stars...

This is Stanley. A couple of months ago he was homeless and surfing around porches and decks in our neighborhood, trying to get a little heat that may be leaking out around doorways. Now he's like The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

I hope that you had a romantic Valentine's Day filled with affection and declarations of your beauty, and confirmations that you are, in fact, a good girl. Wait, that's our dog, Shayla! And that is my husband Mark kissing her. On the mouth...
