Meet Sky. At about a year and a half old, Sky is a beautiful girl with a zest for life that`s impossible to resist! Whether she`s chasing after a ball, exploring the great outdoors, or soaking up attention from her favorite people, Sky tackles every day with boundless enthusiasm and a constantly wagging tail. If you`re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy, Sky is ready to be your sidekick. This energetic girl would thrive with an active family that can keep up with her playful spirit. She`ll happily join you for hikes, long walks, backyard games, or any adventure that lets her stretch her legs and spend time with the people she loves.

She does not enjoy the company of other dogs and will need to be the only dog in the household. She may also do best in a home without young children, as she can become a little mouthy when she`s excited. With positive reinforcement, continued training, and an understanding family, Sky has all the potential to be an incredible companion. If you`re searching for a loyal, active best friend who will bring excitement, laughter, and unconditional love into your life, Sky is ready to make every day an adventure by your side.Sky has joined our extended stay club, meaning her adoption fee is lowered and adopters will receive a post-adoption training reimbursement plus six months of heartworm and flea & tick prevention to help get their new best friend off to a great start.Apply today at: capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp

King

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, 9 mos

Gloucester, MA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet King! King was surrendered to us through no fault of his own when his previous family was no longer able to care for him. This big love bug has spent the last month in a foster home, which has given us the chance to learn so much more about what he`s like outside of the shelter!King is 9 months old, fully house trained, very food motivated, and loves to learn. He`s an energetic, playful young guy who loves running around and chewing on his toys, but one of the things his foster loves about him is how well he`s able to settle down in the house. He`s incredibly sweet, loyal, and loves being close to his people.His foster has also been working hard with him on his leash skills. King can get very excited and focused on other dogs and people while out on walks, but he`s made great progress with consistency and training. He`s a big, strong boy, so he`s looking for someone comfortable handling him and excited to continue working on everything he`s learned.After getting to know King better and introducing him to several dogs, we`ve decided he`ll be happiest as the only dog in his future home. King is a big, enthusiastic puppy with a very rough-and-tumble play style that can be overwhelming for other dogs. Being the only pup will allow his family to focus on King and continue building his skills without having to manage those interactions at home!King has come such a long way during his time in foster, and underneath all that big puppy energy is an incredibly loving boy with so much potential. He`s looking for someone willing to keep putting in the work—and in return, you`ll get one very devoted best friend. King is part of our Extended Stay program so his adoption fee is lower and adopters will receive a post-adoption training reimbursement plus six months of heartworm and flea & tick prevention to help get their new best friend off to a great start.

Buddy

Great Dane Rhodesian Ridgeback

Male, 3 yrs 5 mos

Gloucester, MA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Story

Meet Buddy! Buddy is a sweet, quirky 3-year-old who has a few thoughts about how life should be organized. He is a pretty mellow guy who enjoys hanging out with his people, getting affection, and generally taking it easy, provided of course that the day proceeds according to plan. Buddy is a creature of routine. He likes knowing what’s coming next, and unexpected changes to his schedule can be a bit... inconvenient, in Buddy’s opinion. He is also a very devoted people-dog who likes to keep his humans close. He doesn`t mind doing things and would probably be quite happy to tag along with you for the day, whether that means running errands, going for an adventure, or possibly even heading to work. He just isn`t a big fan of being left behind. Buddy has lived with dogs, cats, a bird, and people of all ages, and he has spent time at Tide Pool Pet Services working on his skills. He is looking for a home where someone is around often, appreciates a predictable routine, and doesn`t mind having a dog with some very specific ideas about how the household should operate. A securely managed yard will also be important, as Buddy has demonstrated some entrepreneurial tendencies when it comes to finding his own way out. He is not for everyone, but we have a feeling there is someone out there who will find his particular brand of weirdness completely charming. Buddy is part sweetheart, part routine enthusiast, and 100% himself, and we think the right person is going to love him exactly that way. Buddy is part of our Extended Stay adoption promotion, meaning he has a lower adoption fee and goes home with a post-adoption training reimbursement plus six months of heartworm and flea & tick prevention to help ensure a great new start.

Liberty

Labrador Retriever

Female, 9 mos

Gloucester, MA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Liberty, a 9-month-old pup who traveled from Puerto Rico to Massachusetts with hope in her heart and a need for a gentle, understanding home. She is still very shy when it comes to meeting new people, and the world can feel a bit overwhelming for her. Liberty will need a family who is willing to give her space, patience, and time to adjust without pressure. Liberty is always at ease and happiest when she is with other dogs. Canine companions help her feel secure, and she loves to run, play, and simply exist alongside them. Other dogs are where she feels most confident, and she often takes her cues from them as she navigates her environment. Liberty is still learning some of the basics of being a family dog, including walking on a leash, and will need a patient adopter who is willing to help her learn these new skills. Because of her sensitive nature, Liberty would do best in a quiet home without young children, where she won’t be overwhelmed by noise or too much activity. With patience, stability, and the comfort of another dog(s) by her side, Liberty has wonderful potential to continue growing into a more confident and secure companion. All she needs is the right person to give a nervous girl a chance! Does Liberty sound like the right fit for you?Liberty is now a member of our Extended Stay Club. Her adoption fee has been reduced in hopes it helps find her forever home sooner and adopters will receive a post-adoption training reimbursement plus six months of heartworm and flea & tick prevention to help get their new best friend off to a great start.Apply today at: capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp

Story

Meet Mancha, a 5 month old pup who traveled all the way from Puerto Rico with her four siblings in search of her forever home!Mancha is considered special needs due to an injury she experienced before coming to us that caused some degree of paralysis. Thankfully, this resilient little girl has made an amazing recovery and is now able to walk, run, play, and enjoy life just like any other puppy! She does still have a bit of a funny gait in her back legs, but her current condition is not painful and certainly doesn`t slow her down. Her bathroom habits are affected however, and while Mancha is able to hold her urine, she doesn`t always realize when she is going number 2. Becoming fully potty trained may be difficult and this is something her future family should be prepared to potentially manage long-term.But don`t tell Mancha she`s any different! She loves other dogs and has been fostered with canine friends who she loves running around and playing with. Her current foster even recently took her paddleboarding, and Mancha was happy to join in on the adventure!Mancha has also made some special friends around town! Her foster is friends with the Gloucester Fire Department, and after getting to know this sweet girl, some of the firefighters fell in love with her too. They generously donated $150 toward reducing Mancha`s adoption fee to help her find her forever family!Mancha`s special needs aren`t stopping her from living a happy, active puppy life. She`s looking for a family who will embrace everything that makes her special and give this sweet, adventurous girl the loving home she deserves!Apply for Mancha today at capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp

Story

Meet Piper! This beautiful girl is looking for a fresh start after being surrendered because her owner developed severe allergies and medical complications. Piper is housetrained, loves a good game of fetch, and absolutely adores swimming! While she can be a bit shy and nervous around new people and unfamiliar places, with a little patience and kindness, her sweet, loving personality truly shines. Because children tend to make her feel uneasy, Piper is looking for a calm, adult-only home (ages 16+) where someone can help her build confidence at her own pace. If you`re looking for a loyal companion and have the patience to help a deserving dog feel safe and loved, Piper could be the perfect match for you. Piper is part of our Extended Stay program so her adoption fee is lower and adopters will receive a post-adoption training reimbursement plus six months of heartworm and flea & tick prevention to help get their new best friend off to a great start.Apply today: capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp
