This week Malakai, the lab mix that needed a new home, found a wonderful one. We are so happy to have helped with this owner to owner adoption. Also, it looks like we found a great home for Leo, our Pomeranian mix, and we hope he will be very happy!
A few weeks ago, a 7 year old Husky named Drako was surrendered to us. He was suffering from bronchitis but after treatment with antibiotics and some loving care by our volunteers at the shelter, Drako is now ready to find a new home.
Like many Huskies, Drako has a fluffy black and white coat, likes being brushed and is very friendly. He weighs about 60 lbs, so his size is very manageable. So far, Drako is not reactive to other dogs and loves attention from people. Surprisingly, there are very few rabbits and squirrels in the area around the shelter so we don’t know how Drako would react to them while out for a walk. As far as we know, he has not been around children or cats.
Drako will be up to date on all vaccines and will be neutered soon. If you like to meet this beautiful Husky, call 508-548-7742 for an appointment.
Oscar is an 11 year old, 18 lb Silky Terrier/Cairn Terrier mix who arrived at the shelter recently after his owner passed away. He doesn’t know he’s a senior dog and acts like a much younger pup. He’s very lively, has lots of energy and loves people.
He’s spent time interacting with some of our smaller dogs and gets along well with them. Oscar will be having a dental cleaning soon, is up to date on vaccines, is neutered and house trained. He’s quite the package! To schedule an appointment to meet him, call 508-548-7742.
If you are looking for a young lab mix, then Roo might be the dog for you. He’s about 7 months old and full of energy. Roo would love to have a brother or sister dog to play with but his play energy is too much for cats. He’s a happy dog that likes people and other dogs but has not been around small children so that’s an open question. Vaccinations are up to date, he’s fully housetrained and will be neutered at our expense. Call 508-548-7742 to meet Roo.
We have a smart, white fluffy dog that is looking for a new, calm home. Monet is an 8 year old American Eskimo Dog who will be happiest in a home with no children, no other dogs and definitely no cats! Monet is an excellent walker who enjoys meeting people when he is out and about and usually ignores other dogs he meets. One of his favorite things to do is go for car rides. Except for being a little overweight, Monet is in excellent health, neutered and fully vaccinated. Call us at 508-548-7742 to make an appointment to meet Monet.
Jimmy Dean, a 1.5 year old, brown Dachshund mix who weighs about 23lbs is looking for a new permanent home.
Due to his shyness and fear of new people, we had him stay with 2 different foster families to gain confidence and become accustomed to new people. In both homes, he bonded with the primary female in the family within a few weeks and gradually became comfortable with the other members of each family. In both cases, the families had other dogs that helped Jimmy Dean settle into the family. We would recommend a female dog that is larger than Jimmy since he has a fair amount of energy to play. He is up to date on all his vaccines, microchipped and has been neutered. If you would like to meet him, please call the shelter 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 or via PayPal are always welcomed.
