Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED 12/08-12/14!Introducing Callie! This brindle beauty has a difficult time with transitions (honestly, who doesn`t?) and is quite sensitive to changes in her environment. She can be worried about meeting new people and dogs and when navigating new environments, but with a patient family who is excited about teaching Callie that the world doesn`t need to be so scary, she`s sure to let her silly and playful side shine through. Callie is an athletic lady who has enjoyed going for long, sniffy walks around our campus. She`s also known to enjoy a game of fetch or simply self-entertaining with toys on her own! If you`d like to learn more about Callie, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center during open hours!

Story
*Walter`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a donor!*Calling all hound enthusiasts! Walter is a sweet, sensitive guy who is the perfect mix of active, silly and affectionate when you take things at his pace! Walter is a nature-enthusiast and loves to be outdoors. He can often be found sniffing along the trails on our shelter campus, and will make a great adventure buddy once he`s had some time to settle in and learn the expectations of a new home. Walter can be a little worried when meeting new people and dogs, and has been known to use his impressive hound voice to communicate when he is uncomfortable, so he`s looking for an adopter who will use a gentle approach to training while also letting him set the pace! If you`d like to learn more about Walter, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center during open hours!

Story
Say hey to Girly! This sweet and shy Lab pup is ready to find her new home, could it be you?While Girly is a bubbly Black Lab who loves to romp with her friends, she is a sensitive pup who will need a bit of time to warm up first before she can show off her zooming skills. Once she has made her friends and has had time to decompress, she would love to go on adventures with you to burn off some of her puppy energy! Since she is still a young pup, she will need a family who is ready to help Girly learn some basic skills and master her manners. Girly would do well with a canine sibling inside of the home, as she has shown that she loves outings with other dogs while in our care. She could potentially go to a home with a dog-savvy cat. Girly could do well in a home with kids that are ready to get involved with her training and can let her come out of her shell on her own time.

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED 12/08-12/14!This handsome fellow is Cisco, a 7 year old husky that`s ready to be the star of the show in his new home! Like many huskies, Cisco can sometimes be dramatic, quirky, vocal (he has a great singing voice!), and a little picky about his friends. Cisco loves sniffy walks, and once he gets to know you, he loves a good shoulder rub! Cisco was primarily living outdoors in his previous home, and likely has limited experience actually living indoors, so he is looking to go home to an adopter that is ready to help him adjust to this new lifestyle. As a sensitive pup that has been through quite a few transitions recently, he can sometimes be fearful in new or busy environments, so Cisco would do best in a quiet, predictable home with adopters who will let him settle in at his own pace. Cisco may be able to go home with a well-matched dog friend (we would recommend a dog meet on-campus as a part of his adoption process!). He has no history with cats, but could possibly go home with a dog-savvy cat with full separation to start and a slow introduction. If you`re thinking of adding a little music to your life, then come on down to meet Cisco!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED 12/08-12/14!Max is sweet older gentleman that can be a little worried, so he`s hoping to go to a lower traffic home so that he can adjust and build confidence at his own pace. He`d love to spend his time hanging out at home with his people, rather than making a lot of new friends out in the world. Once he`s warmed up, Max loves to show off his silly side, and has quite a bit of pep in his step for a 9 year old!Max is still polishing up some of his manners, like greeting people politely, so he`d love to go home with adopters that are excited to help him continue to make progress using positive reinforcement training. Since Max has been worried around dogs, he might be able to go home with a very mellow dog companion, but he also might also like to be your one and only! Max has no history of living with cats, but could do well with slow intros and complete separation to start.

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED 12/08-12/14!Meet Snowball! This sensitive guy came from a situation with many other dogs living in one home, so he is looking for a patient adopter who can help him settle in and learn how to be successful in a home at his own pace. New people, dogs and environments can be scary for Snowball, and he is not afraid to use his voice to communicate his discomfort. He would do best in a low-traffic home and quiet neighborhood that he can explore as he grows comfortable.
