FARMINGTON – Dominick is a handsome Maine coon mix waiting for a home at the Franklin County Animal Shelter.

Staff said he loves to rub up against legs to get attention, and once he’s got it, there is no going back. He loves to help with sweeping the floor, writing out med sheets, filing the paperwork and sending out the occasional e-mail.

Dominick keeps busy and loves to entertain himself and others, staff said. Anyone looking for a cat brimming with character should meet Dominick.

New dogs at the shelter include a female black lab mix found in Avon.

The shelter is looking for foster homes for kittens that will arrive in the spring. For more information, visit the shelter or call 778-2638.
