During the past 2 weeks, we said good-bye to Oliver, our very sweet Beagle. He found a wonderful family off-Cape that will give him a very happy life! We also found exceptional homes for Iggy, our hound, and Copper, our long haired Dachshund and their adoptions will be finalized very soon. Three new dogs arrived that you should meet.

Pepper and Cosmo are young Standard Poodles from Georgia. Pepper is all black, female, about 2 years old and weighs 48lbs. She has been spayed and fully vaccinated. Cosmo is black and white, male, about 1 year old and weighs 50lbs. He has been neutered and fully vaccinated. Both of them are very happy, friendly dogs that are not reactive to other dogs. We are still getting to know them, but so far both are wonderful dogs that will make wonderful companions. Meet one or both of them by calling us at 508-548-7742 for an appointment.

If you want an adorable dog, then Chalupa, a 3 year old, female, black and tan Chihuahua mix, might be the dog for you. At 12lbs, she is pretty small and a great size to cuddle with on the couch. Chalupa loves people, doesn’t mind other dogs and wants to be petted and get belly rubs regularly. She is spayed and vaccinated. Call 508-548-7742 to meet her.

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.

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. So far, she is very sweet and would make a great companion in a calm household. Come and meet Lucy by calling us at 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.
