Pet adoptions and fosterings have really taken off in Maine, with more and more people opting to give animals a second chance at a happy life. Whether you're into dogs, cats, rabbits, or even hamsters, shelters in Southern Maine have animals looking for both forever homes and temporary foster families.

At the risk of sounding like an old "fuddy duddy," I don't get ear gauging. Maybe this is the same as our parents hating tattoos or guys piercing their ears or maybe even lips and or noses, but the whole or "hole" gauging thing seems too intense at least for me.
