Last week was very productive and several of our dogs have gone to new homes or will be very shortly. Brady, a 7 year old Pom/Akita mix, found his new home very quickly. Nala, our Cattle Dog mix, is scheduled to be adopted this week. Teddy, a young Husky mix, has a very interested couple poised to adopt him. If only it was this easy all the time!
Fred is a 6 year old calm, sweet hound mix that has moved from one family member to another. Due to health issues of his current owner, Fred needs a new home and we agreed to do an owner to owner adoption for him. He weighs about 70lbs but is pretty easy to care for. Fred enjoys walking with his Gentle Leader harness and loves to run. He is up to date on vaccines and neutered. If you are a big dog lover, call us at 508-548-7742 to meet Fred.
Rosie is a lovely blonde, 38lb terrier mix who was at the shelter back in May. Her owner was not able to keep her due to health issues and Rosie’s energy.
Rosie is a friendly dog that walks well on leash and enjoys being with people. She can be reactive around strange dogs and has been undergoing some behavior training to help reduce her anxiety in those situations. You may have seen her in Sunday’s Falmouth Christmas Parade where she was very happy to walk with our other dogs and had no problem with any of the dogs that lined the parade route. Her reactivity is definitely less of an issue now. Rosie has been spayed, fully vaccinated and is microchipped. Call us at 508-548-7742 to meet her.
We expect to have a couple of dog surrenders this week and will share them in next week’s column, so stay tuned.
Donations of sheets, blankets and towels are always welcomed. Please don’t leave them outside but instead, drop them off when our volunteers are at the shelter, 9 to 11am or 3 to 5pm every day. Thank you to those of you that keep us well supplied.
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.
