Our Weekly Falmouth Enterprise Column

Since our last column, we have had lots of adoptions. Lexi, our lab/shepherd mix, found a wonderful home and has settled in quite well. She loves playing with all the grandchildren in the family and they love her. The three Labradoodles that arrived in late August were quite popular and had many meet and greets. As expected, they quickly found new families that were thrilled to provide them with loving homes. Thank you to all the dog lovers that came to meet our dogs.
Last week, Cupcake arrived at the shelter. She is a tan and white, 15lb, female Beagle mix from Alabama, who is a happy, energetic 1 year old pup.
So far, we’ve seen her happily interact with the dogs at the shelter and with all of the volunteers. Down south, she lived with a young child for a time and did well. We don’t know how Cupcake would behave with cats. As with all of our dogs, she is fully vaccinated, spayed and will be microchipped soon. If you would like to meet Cupcake, call the shelter at 508-548-7742 for an appointment.
Prudence is a small 4 year old Corgi/ Dachshund mix that needs a new home. Her owners are older, dealing with health issues and have made the difficult decision to re-home her. We are doing an owner to owner adoption where Friends of Falmouth Dogs will coordinate the adoption process while Prudence stays in her current home. Prudence is an active girl and she loves walks, running and playing with other dogs and her humans.
When walking on a leash, she can be fearful of other dogs and will usually bark. Her current owners have been working with Prudence to reduce this reactivity and she has improved. She is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Meet Prudence by calling 508-548-7742 to schedule a meet and greet.
Are you looking for a small, fluffy dog? Daniel, a white Pomerarian, is scheduled to arrive at the shelter next week. He’s about 1 year old, has lived with a small child and is very friendly. By the time he arrives, Daniel will be neutered and vaccinated. All the volunteers are looking forward to getting to know Daniel and you can too. Just call us at 508-548-7742 to have your name put on the list for an appointment.
We expect to have some local dogs become available for adoption soon. If you might be interested in a Cocker Spaniel, Dachshunds or a Husky, stayed tuned in the weeks ahead for more information!
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 4 to 6pm 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.
