You need to come in and meet Leo, a 9 year old Pomeranian mix. He comes to us from Georgia after his owner moved to a nursing home. Leo is black & white, neutered, house trained, fully vaccinated and weighs about 13 lbs. His rescue mom says he’s lots of fun and likes to play with her dog and her pet flying squirrels and tolerates her cats. He’s currently staying with one of our foster moms and she loves him already. We do know that Leo has a narrowing of a portion of his trachea that can cause him to cough but he is on a medication that helps reduce the coughing significantly. This will likely be a lifetime medicine. Call us at 508-548-7742 for an appointment to meet Leo.
Do you love smart, white fluffy dogs? Then you should come in and meet Monet, an 8 year old American Eskimo Dog that is looking for a new, calm home. He 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.
Little Rosie, a 11 year old Schnauzer, is a senior dog that still has a lot of energy and life in her. She loves walking and gets along very well with all of our volunteers. She lived with small children and another dog back in Texas. She was surrendered to a rescue we work with because the family just had another baby and 2 demanding jobs and were a bit overwhelmed. Little Rosie is in good health, is fully vaccinated and spayed. Schedule a meet and greet with Little Rosie by calling 508-548-7742.
Juan Pablo, a 10 year old Chihuahua mix, arrived from Texas and is a real cutie. He’s staying with a local foster family who report that he settled right in and made himself at home. Sleeping in a crate was not a problem for Juan Pablo and lounging around the house makes him happy, too. He’s all black, weighs about 17lbs, is up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped and is very friendly. JP’s owners in Texas surrendered him due to changes in the family and think JP would be happiest with older or no children in the home. Call for an appointment at 508-548-7742 to meet Juan Pablo.
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.
