Once again, we have a great adopter for Iggy, our coonhound and the home visit and actual adoption are scheduled for the near future. If you have been following Iggy’s story, you will remember that he was about to be adopted when his adopter had an accident that would take months to recover from. Let’s hope that this adoption happens – Iggy deserves to be in a loving forever home!

Ronnie is an 8 month old pit bull/Lab mix who needs a new home since his owner can no longer properly care for him. Friends of Falmouth Dogs agreed to help find him his new home while he remains in his current home. Ronnie has a sleek, silvery gray coat, weighs about 50lbs and has been vaccinated. His vet recommended waiting until he is one year old to be neutered and we will help with that expense when it happens. Ronnie is a friendly, active pup that enjoys playing with other dogs and likes being with people. He hasn’t been arounds cats or young children yet. Call us at 508-548-7742 for an appointment to meet him.

Kelsy is a beautiful Husky/Collie mix that we met recently. She’s been in a temporary home since her original owners couldn’t keep her any longer. Friends of Falmouth Dogs is doing an owner to owner adoption to find her forever home which means she will remain in her temporary home until we find an excellent new family for her. Kelsey is 3 years old with a wavy red-blonde coat that begs to be stroked. She has been spayed, will soon be up to date on her shots, weighs about 65lbs and is housetrained. Kelsey likes others dogs and children but can be a too active playmate for some of them. If you’d like to meet her, please call 508-548-7742 for an appointment.

Lucy is a very pretty 6 year old, Lab/Boxer mix whose owners became quite ill and could no longer care for her. She has silvery brown fur, weighs about 55lbs, is spayed and up to date on vaccines. Lucy is a bit fearful when meeting new people but does warm up after you share a few treats with her. She is much more comfortable with women than men, has not lived with cats, nor children, and is selective about which dogs she likes or doesn’t like. During the recent snowstorms, Lucy stayed with one of our female volunteers who reported she was a wonderful companion, knows basic commands and was very easy to care for. She is very sweet and would make a great addition to a calm household. Come and meet Lucy by calling us at 508-548-7742.

E.B. is an 8 to 10 year old female, Chihuahua and terrier mix, whose owner could no longer care for her. She is energetic, loves treats and her food, goes for good walks if it’s not too cold outside and has been vaccinated and spayed. Cataracts have likely made E.B. blind in one eye which causes her to startle easily and be on the defensive in new situations. Time, patience and lots of treats will gain her trust, however! For an appointment to meet E.B., call 508-548-7742.

Monetary donations are always needed here at the shelter so we can continue caring for the dogs in our custody and help low income dog owners pay for veterinary care and dog food. Our goal is that with our help, many more dogs will stay healthy - or get heathy - and live longer and happier lives.

The Cape Cod Foundation provides grant funding to us and we are supremely grateful for their support. Unfortunately, our costs exceed our grant support. If you would like to help provide medical care for the dogs in our care and in our community, donations by check (PO Box 438, Falmouth, MA 02541) or via PayPal are always welcomed.
