Story

Born approximately 3/20/2017 Hes been with us since late May 2017 Attended daycare as a pup where he was bullied and bitten. Likes: Sticks, chew toys, off-leash walks in the woods, sleeping in beds, guarding his territory, car rides, treats, swimming Does not like: his feet touched, his mouth touched, baths, THE VET We did our best to train him but he still needs help with that. I am only able to walk him on leash with a Hermspringer prong collar. He goes with a dog walker 1-2 times a week. He has always lived with cats and free roam bunnies. Due to recent personal health issues, I can not provide him the care and attention he deserves. I am open to answering any questions you may have. Megan 978-879-7518

Indy - Foster

Foxhound

Male, 13 yrs 1 mo

Gloucester, MA

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Indy, the sweetest senior soul with the gentlest heart. Indy came to us through no fault of his own after a lifetime marked by change and uncertainty. At intake, he was noted to be extremely thin, though much of his past remains undocumented. What we do know is that after being passed between homes due to changing circumstances, those surrendering him made the compassionate decision to seek a safer, more stable future for him. Indy enjoys other dogs and is currently in a foster home with one. In his old age, he doesn’t seek out play the way he once might have, though he may gently pick up a toy now and then. What he truly treasures is being close—resting beside his companions and finding comfort in quiet, shared cuddles. Companionship and quiet moments are what makes him happiest. Medically, Indy has a thin body condition with no clear underlying cause. He has had multiple physical exams, bloodwork, and heartworm/tick-borne disease testing, all of which have been normal. He has had occasional episodes of decreased appetite and vomiting, though nothing chronic during his time with us. Due to his advanced age and unknown history, Indy is being placed as a hospice adoption. What Indy needs now is not answers—but love. A soft place to rest, loving humans who will cherish him, and the comfort of knowing he is finally safe. Can Indy spend his golden years with you?Apply today at: capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp

Story

Meet Holly! Holly is a sweet young pup just over 6 months old who traveled from Puerto Rico to Massachusetts in search of her forever home.Holly’s start in life was a difficult one. Her mom was kept in a chicken coop, where a hole allowed a male dog to enter. Soon after, Holly and her brother Calvin were born. The small family continued living in the chicken coop, and before long, the owner planned to surrender them to a high-kill shelter. Thankfully, once word spread, a compassionate rescuer stepped in and gave them the chance they so deeply deserved.Holly, her mom, and her brother were placed in a loving foster home down in Puerto Rico, where she was finally able to grow up feeling safe and cared for. In foster care, Holly thrived and began to show her gentle, loving personality. Holly can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with patience and kindness, she blossoms into a playful, affectionate girl who loves attention and cuddles. She enjoys being around other dogs and would do wonderfully in a home with a canine companion to help build her confidence and show her the joys of family life.Holly is a tender-hearted pup with so much love to give — she’s ready to start her next chapter with a family who will cherish her forever. Does Holly sound like the right fit for you?Apply today at: Capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp

Story

Meet Savannah! This sweet girl and her siblings came all the way from Georgia to find their forever homes. These siblings were from an unwanted litter and surrendered by their owner. Savannah (unlike her siblings) is considered special needs due to a curling of her right eyelid. It was addressed with surgery and is fixed, however we can not say how she will grow and she may need additional surgery in the future, but she`s certainly not letting that get her down! She loves to snuggle and play just like her siblings. These guys are so excited to find their homes and can`t wait to meet you! If you`re interested, apply today!

Story

Cecilia Hope and her son, Crowley Dean, are a deeply bonded pair who have never been apart and are hoping to find a home where they can stay together forever. They were surrendered through no fault of their own after their family experienced a housing change.Both dogs can be a little nervous when meeting new people at first, and Crowley especially may take extra time to feel comfortable around men. With patience, kindness, and gentle reassurance, their sweet personalities truly begin to shine.In their previous home, Cecilia and Crowley lived with a baby and did well. They have also been handling the shelter environment and veterinary care very well, showing their resilience and gentle nature.Cecilia’s former owner shared that she can be cautious on walks, particularly around things with wheels like bikes, but she gains confidence when she feels safe and supported. Crowley is very devoted to his mom and isn’t interested in making canine friends. She’s his whole world, and he prefers to keep it that way.Once they feel comfortable, Cecilia and Crowley are incredibly loving, gentle, and affectionate companions. Their bond is truly special to witness, and earning their trust is deeply rewarding. They’re looking for a calm, understanding home that will give them time, love, and the chance to blossom together.Learn more or apply to adopt: capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp
