Ruby is a sweet, gentle one year old girl who is still finding her footing here at the shelter. New environments can feel overwhelming for her, so she may come across as a bit shy at first but underneath that timid exterior is a loving heart just waiting to bloom.
Ruby will thrive in a calm, quiet home with a patient family who understands that trust takes time. She’d do best with older children who can respect her need for space and move at her pace. With consistency, kindness, and lots of reassurance, Ruby will slowly show you just how special she is.
She’s looking for a family willing to give her the grace to settle in, the love to help her feel safe and the patience to let her confidence grow naturally. If you believe the best bonds are built gently and over time, Ruby just might be the perfect match for you.

1. Visit our shelter and choose the animal that you would like to adopt.
Please be aware that the adoption process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the information we need to cover with you and the number of pets going home at the same time. We know this is a time commitment, but your new pet will appreciate it!
2. Fill out an adoption profile. At PMHS, we use a profile and interview process to ensure that each animal adopted will be matched with the most compatible new owner(s). Once your profile has been reviewed, our adoption counselors will discuss with you any medical or behavioral information relevant to the animal you chose and process your adoption application. Every dog or cat that is adopted from PMHS is up to date with required vaccinations and microchipped.
3. Pay fee.
3. Congratulations! You are now ready to go home with your new pet!

More about this shelter
After 35 years, our organization is now officially known as Pope Memorial Humane Society. Though we have a new name, logo, and facility, it is important to keep in mind that we are the same organization at our core. Our staff, volunteers, and operations remain the same, as does our unfailing commitment to saving the lives of animals in need. We will continue to serve Strafford County and the surrounding areas of New Hampshire and southern Maine with the same dedication. Though we are proud of the growth and impact we have made in the last 35 years as Cocheco Valley Humane Society, we look forward to this new chapter in our organization’s story.
