Looking to add a new companion to your home?
Each week, FingerLakes1.com partners with the Humane Society of Yates County to highlight local animals in need of a loving home. This week’s featured pets offer two very different personalities — one energetic and eager to learn, the other calm and content to take life at a slower pace.
Maura
Here’s what they say about her
Maura is a 2.5-year-old pit bull mix who brings both brains and energy to the table. Weighing just under 60 pounds, she’s athletic, attentive, and already well-trained, with a long list of commands under her belt including sit, down, wait, shake, touch, and fetch. She thrives on attention and prefers to be the center of it. Because of that, Maura would do best as the only pet in an adult-only home where she can fully claim her space and bond closely with her people. She’s a smart, driven dog who will do best with someone ready to match her energy and continue building on her training. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s both active and highly trainable, Maura could be the right fit.
Nesbit
Here’s what they say about him
At 9 years old, Nesbit is ready to settle into a quieter chapter of life. This easygoing cat is all about comfort — a soft place to nap, a calm environment, and plenty of chin scratches. He’s described as a “top-tier lounger,” perfectly content to spend his days relaxing and keeping you company without demanding much in return. Nesbit would do best in a low-key home where he can enjoy a steady routine and the simple things. For anyone looking for a gentle, low-maintenance companion, Nesbit offers exactly that.
