Story
Meet Jake: lover of tennis balls! Although he can be slow to warm up to new people, once he knows you, you are a forever friend (and playmate...he really loves tennis balls!) Jake is hoping for a new family that will initially keep his bubble small and safe. To Jake, new people and dogs can be pretty scary. He might do best living with a calm dog friend, or perhaps be the only dog in the home. He could possibly live with a dog savvy cat with a slow introduction. Jake got along well with the teenagers in his previous home, and could most likely go home with children that can participate in his management plan and respect his boundaries!

Story
Introducing Tatum! This very special guy is happy to be a part of every gathering, especially if that gathering involves his favorite people. He`s the perfect mix of charming and sensitive, and while he does have some catching up to do with his manners, he`s super smart and loves to learn! Tatum is currently being treated for heartworm and has also been diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia, so he`ll need a special adopter who can help him take things slow and keep him busy in other ways besides physical exercise while he is on activity restriction. Luckily, he will lay in your lap for as long as you`ll let him, and can keep himself busy with toys and enrichment for hours! If you think Tatum could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment or application needed. Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

Story
Say hey to Friday! Friday is a sweet and sensitive pup who is a slow burn and needs to keep his bubble small before he is ready to do big things. He is looking for an understanding and patient family who is willing to use positive reinforcement to help build up his confidence. Once Friday has settled in and gotten to know his family well, he loves to show off his silly and rowdy side! Friday enjoys a good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settle in at the end of the day and snuggle with his people on the couch. Friday prefers the company of his human friends to canine friends and wants to be your only dog, but would really enjoy having dog friends to go on walks with. He does say `no thank you!` to cats in the home. Friday would do well with calm kids who are ready to respect his boundaries and help Friday feel comfortable in his new home.

Story
Are you ready to add a little dynamo to your life? Say hello to Mango, the pint-sized powerhouse who’s bursting with energy and charm! Mango is a little ball of enthusiasm and love, and doesn`t let the fact that she has skin allergies stop her from lighting up the room! Mango is still working on her manners – think of her as the canine equivalent of a toddler with a double espresso – so while she`s still working on learning things like `sit` or `stay,` she’s an expert at “zoomies” and “tail wagging.”Mango may be able to go home with a well-matched dog companion, and could live with children that can participate in her management plan (and that won`t be bothered by an active, jumpy pup!). Mango says no thank you to cats, please! She’s ready to bring a whirlwind of fun and a splash of chaos into your life, so stop by the shelter today to inquire about her if you are interested in this squishy pocket pittie.

Story
Meet Loki! Loki is a bit reserved at first, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Loki loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors. Loki has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once he feels secure, he`ll reward you with endless love and silly pittie noises!

MEET REMI! This wonderful, super sweet and loving pup is ready for her forever! REMI LOVES her humans. She is great in the home. She is good on the leash. Very friendly and sweet! REMI's ideal home would be one that LOVES big dogs! (she is about 86 lbs), LOVES this breed and is experienced with it. She can be with other dog or dogs (intros always needed), but would also be fine as solo. **Adult only or a home with kids over 12**.
