Fortunately, Desmond our 7 year old, black Chihuahua mix, has received lots of attention recently and will very likely be adopted by the weekend. Thank you to those people who called and visited him. Lexi, our beautiful Husky/German Shepherd mix, will be staying in her foster home for an extended period of time so she can work on her separation anxiety and enjoy life.

Very, very recently, two French Bulldogs (pure bred according to their owner) were surrendered to Friends of Falmouth Dogs due to a major change in the family. Lola is 6 years old and Milo is 7 years old and both are playful, fun dogs. Lola has been spayed and Milo will soon be neutered. As we get to know them, we will be getting their vet records to make sure they are up to date on shots. They will be microchipped. If you would like to meet either of them, please call us at 508-548-7742.

If you love black labs, call to meet Apollo. He is at the shelter due to the passing of his owner. Volunteers report that Apollo is friendly, enjoys walking with his harness and wants to be around people. Friends of his owner did tell us that Apollo played well with their dogs. He is about 2.5 years old, weighs 50 to 60 lbs, is microchipped and neutered. Next week Apollo will be going to the vet for all of his vaccines and a general check-up. Call 508-548-7742 for an appointment to meet Apollo.

Are you looking for an older Lhasa Apso/Maltese mix who loves to watch TV? We have just the dog for you! A family is downsizing and can’t take their dog with them so FFD is helping the family rehome him. His name is Chester and you may have seen a picture of this white, 10 year old dog that a family member posted on Facebook. He is quite sweet. Call us at 508-548-7742 to meet him.

FFD is also helping a family find a new home for their tan, 5 year old Staffy mix named Cedric. He loves people, especially the family’s 2 year old daughter, and is super affectionate. Walking, riding in cars, playing with a ball and eating are some of Cedric’s favorite activities. He would love to be part of an active family that can give him lots of exercise and where he can be the only pet since he is not a fan of other dogs. If you are interested in meeting Cedric, please call the shelter at 508-548-7742.

Do you know someone who loves German Shepherds? Tell them about our wonderful Bruno! He is patiently waiting for the family that’s going to love and adopt him. Bruno knows that all the volunteers at FFD love him but he knows there is more love out there waiting for him. Bruno is a very sweet, 8 year old dog that enjoys belly rubs, being brushed, playing with balls and being with his people. As with many GSDs, it’s best for him to be the only pet and he really needs a fenced in yard. Bruno has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated. Call us at 508-548-7742 to meet Bruno.

We are still offering our Vet Assistance Program, designed to help ensure your dog is able to see a veterinarian for care when needed, as well as 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 either or both programs, please call our office at 508-548-7742 and leave a message specifying what you need. Please be sure to slowly and clearly state your name and phone number.
