If you love black labs, call to meet Apollo. He is at the shelter due to the passing of his owner. Although we are still getting to know him, Apollo appears to be friendly, fully grown, and enjoys playing with other dogs. Over the next week we’ll confirm his age (2 or 3 years old?), weight (a bit over average) and his vaccination status. Call 508-548-7742 for an appointment.

Desmond, our 7 year old, black Chihuahua mix who weighs 7 lbs, can be timid and fearful but does warm up over time. Ideally, his adopter will be someone with patience to help him become more trusting of people. Playing with other dogs, playing with stuffed toys and going for walks does makes Desmond very happy. He’s fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. If you would like to meet Desmond, please call 598-548-7742 for an appointment.

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 their dog. By next week we will have a picture of the dog and will know more about him. Stay tuned.

Lexi, a beautiful Husky/German Shepherd mix with piercing blue eyes, is looking for her new family. She weighs about 58lbs, is house trained, spayed, microchipped and up to date on all shots. We do see that Lexi has separation anxiety and really does not like being left alone. Otherwise, Lexi is a wonderful companion who likes walking and being with her human family members. She is temporarily recuperating from surgery on her right paw in a foster home but can meet people next week. Call us at 508-548-7742 to meet her.

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.
