Story
Gamma is an energetic, goofy, and sweet boy with a big personality. He loves to run, play, and stay active, especially when two-toy fetch is involved, and snacks are a great way to win him over since he’s very food motivated. Gamma is looking for an active home that enjoys fun, routine, and spending time together. As he settles in, he will benefit from some decompression time, basic training, and help with manners. With patient, consistent humans who are ready to support him, Gamma has the potential to be a wonderful and rewarding companion — and he’d love to meet you!Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Gamma. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.Visit www.mspca.org/petresources to learn how to prepare for a successful first few weeks at home with a your adopted pet!

Story
Meet Pepper, a senior pup that`s here to prove that age is just a number! Pepper loves romping around in the yard and going on sniffy walks out in the world (she lived with her sister Kuva in the previous home, and they were frequent walk buddies together!) She doesn`t have a lot of practice making new dog friends, so would appreciate a lower-traffic home and slower introductions with dogs, especially while she`s settling in. Once she`s warmed up to her new human friends, Pepper is sure to shower you with love and show off her silly side!

Story
`Max`s adoption fee has been sponsored by a donor!*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.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Indigo, a sweet, slightly shy senior pittie who enjoys naps, calm companionship, and being close to her people. She`s an easygoing, affectionate dog who would do best in a quiet, low-key home. Indigo has a few manageable medical needs and will need a future knee surgery, but she`s otherwise a gentle, content companion. She could live with a respectful dog who understands her shy tendencies, would do best in a cat-free home, and looking for humans who can practice calm, considerate interactions. If you`re searching for a relaxed, loving dog who`s happy to take life at a slower pace, Indigo may be the perfect fit.

Story
Meet Kuva, a sweet and dainty pittie who is looking for a new home! This lovely senior pup lived with her sister Pepper in the previous home, and can be a little worried with big changes like meeting new people or dogs, so she`s love to go to a lower-traffic home. Once Kuva settles in, her personality starts to shine - she loves sniffy walks and rolling around in the leaves! Kuva loves to snuggle with the people in her inner circle, and she’s playful and silly once she’s comfortable. If you were interested in learning more about Kuva, come on down to chat with staff to see if she`s the one for you!

Story
**My adoption fee was paid for by a generous donor!**Meet Ed, a 7 year old pomsky (Pomeranian with a Siberian Husky mix)! Ed spent his first years in a commercial breeding facility, where he was not getting the care and socialization he needed to thrive. As he`s started to explore and learn more about the world, Ed has shown us that he`s a gentle pup who can be worried in busy or new environments, but that he loves playing with toys and going on sniffy walks!Ed is looking for an adopter that can continue to help him make progress with his training and manners using positive reinforcement methods, while ensuring that he is an active participant in everything that`s happening to him (petting, play, putting on or taking off walking equipment, etc). He would do best in a low-traffic home, where there won`t be a lot of new people coming and going, and where he can set the pace of how fast or slow he is making progress. Ed is a sweet lil guy that shows his love with tail wags and silly play bows, and given the support and care he needs, he`s sure to bring a lot of joy to your home!Ed is currently being treated for heartworm, which might sound intimidating, but we promise it`s not scary! Our staff is ready to get you up to speed on his current routine. He needs to stay chill and relaxed during his treatment, and would love some toys, snacks, or other fun things to work on while he settles into his new home.
