Alumni Stories. If you adopted a dog from us last week, 20 years ago or anywhere in between, we would love to hear from you. Write something up about your dog and find one or two great photos, then send them to us along with the release form. The alumni book will be sold as a fundraiser during our 20th anniversary celebrations.

Our Weekly Falmouth Enterprise Column

Chloe, the sweet 9-year-old Lab mix, was adopted! Best wishes to her and her new family; may they enjoy many wonderful years together!

Still waiting for new homes of their own are several dogs at the shelter, one in foster care, and a new entry dog on our bulletin board.

Interest has been shown in Stella and Lana. Stella is a great dog; she loves people and likes most dogs. She is a young Staffordshire terrier, and with socializing and much TLC, she has progressed very well in training. She had a scary world before she came to us, and she will make some fortunate family a wonderful companion and loving friend! Lana is a pretty 5-year-old medium-sized German shepherd. She loves attention from people and is learning how to adjust to other dogs.

Merlin, whom we call our gentle giant, is a 98-pound handsome boxer mix. He is always friendly and very lovable, but he would be too much for little children to handle. He needs a strong owner who can handle him comfortably. He is doing very well with leash training.

Our newest addition is Spike, a cute pug/Chihuahua mix, 7 months old. Because of his age and size, he is in foster care. If you are seriously interested in him, please call and we will set up an appointment for you with his foster home. On our bulletin board, we have a 1-year-old rat terrier/Chihuahua mix still in his own home. He gets along with other dogs; his owner can no longer care for him. Small-dog people have two cute dogs of interest to investigate.

Heartfelt thanks to young Nico Traykovski, who celebrated his 5th birthday in a lovely way: he asked his young guests to bring something for “our” dogs rather than a present for him! As a result, he presented us with a check for $165 and numerous gifts such as leashes, collars, and dog toys and chewies! It is encouraging to see compassion and concern shown by such young children. It bodes well for Falmouth's and Friends of Falmouth Dogs' future!

Thanks to all of our friends who continue contributing gifts of money, toys, blankets, supplies to care for the dogs, et cetera. Your continuing interest and help in so many ways make our tasks and mission so much easier to fulfill!

NOTE: We are inviting those of you who adopted dogs from us, no matter how long ago or how recently, to share your stories and photos for an alumni book we are compiling for publication. (A release form can be found on our website: friendsoffalmouthdogs.org). We will not publish the names or addresses of the families, just the names of the dogs. Please submit your story and dogs photo(s) to: info@friendsoffalmouthdogs.org or write to FFD, PO Box 438, Falmouth, MA 02541-0438. If you need more information, just give us a call at 508-548-7742.

Here are two dogs from our bulletin board—Mama and Lily. They are both in need of new homes. Call us to find out more about them.
