Sophie, the owner-to-owner adoption we have been facilitating, has had several great visits and will be going to her new home soon.

Toby, our Great Dane, has found new adopters. He’s thrilled to have another young Great Dane in his new home to play with and to keep him company. We could not imagine a better life for Toby!

On Friday afternoon, 4/26, 6 new dogs will be arriving at the shelter and will soon be available for adoption. Four are female and 2 are male. Most of them are Lab/Hound mixes, aged 5 to 7 months and weigh 17 to 33 lbs. When fully grown, we expect most of them to be medium sized dogs in the 45 to 50 lb range. All are spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated and will be microchipped.

There’s one female, 3 year old Beagle mix named Karman who is brown, white and black and weighs about 24 lbs.

Lacy Lee, a 6 month old, female, Lab/Hound mix, is all white except for a brown ear. She weighs about 33 lbs and is super sweet.

Oscarletta (no, we didn’t name her) is a mostly black lab mix with white feet, weighs about 33 lbs and around 6 months old.

Potter is a 5 month old, male Lab mix that might be part Boxer, with white and tan coloring and weighs about 31 lbs.

Zap Saban (he’s from Alabama, hence the Saban name) is a 7 month old, white and black Lab/Hound mix who weighs about 24 lbs.

Last but not least, is Zip, a 7 month old, 17 lb, female Lab/Hound mix who is white and black. We believe she is Zap’s sibling.

If you’d like to meet any of these beauties next week, call us at 508-548-7742, to make an appointment.

We are offering our Vet Assistance Program for residents of Falmouth, Mashpee and Bourne. The program is intended to help ensure your dog is able to see a veterinarian for care when needed. We also offer our $60 Food Voucher Program. The food vouchers are redeemable at Uptown Dog on Route 28A in West Falmouth or at Falmouth Pet Center on Route 28 near Stop & Shop. To participate in these programs, please call our office at 508-548-7742 and leave a message specifying what you need. Please be sure to state your name and phone number slowly and clearly.

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 community, donations by check (PO Box 438, Falmouth, MA 02541) or or via PayPal are always welcomed.
