Leaf Peeping

Feist

Male, 3 mos

Gloucester, MA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Meet Leaf Peeping, this pup is playful, curious, and full of goofy charm. This little dude is eager to learn, quick to bond, and ready for a family who will help him grow with kindness, structure, and plenty of belly rubs. He gets along wonderfully with people and would thrive in a home that enjoys playtime, adventure, and cuddles in equal measure! This adorable pup is special needs due to being diagnosed with tendon contracture- which is caused by the bone growth exceeding the tendon growth during development. This condition should resolve on its own, but there is a chance that he may need reassessment and surgery in the future. If your home could use a sprinkle of magic and a whole lot of unconditional love, Leaf Peeping is patiently waiting to fit right into your life.capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp

Anita Collar

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 1 yr 2 mos

Gloucester, MA

Size

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

Details

Story

Anita is a one-of-a-kind little athlete wrapped in an adorable 35-pound package. Just over a year old, this low-slung, medium-sized cutie has the most gorgeous markings, expressive ears, and a spring in her step…literally! Don’t let those short legs fool you; Anita can jump like a pro and loves to play, explore, and make new friends wherever she goes.Anita absolutely adores people and dogs alike. She’s happiest when surrounded by her favorite humans or canine companions and thrives on attention and connection. Because she loves so deeply, she struggles with being left alone and experiences separation anxiety. When left by herself, she can panic and become overly excited when people return — sometimes jumping up or nipping in her enthusiasm.She’s looking for a dog-experienced home that can provide patience, structure, and continued support from a trainer or behaviorist. No young children are recommended, as she’s still learning how to manage her big feelings in a calm way.Outside of the shelter, Anita truly shines. On multiple off-site outings, she’s been completely appropriate and well-mannered with new people and dogs. She’s also spent time in a staff member’s home, where she was affectionate, snuggly, and relaxed — though she did show some anxiety when she thought her person was leaving.Anita would thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not and where she can have the steady companionship she craves. A confident, balanced dog friend would likely help ease her anxiety and show her that being alone isn’t so scary.Anita has so much love to give and just needs the right person (or people) to help her feel safe, secure, and at home. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will make every day brighter, Anita Collar may be your perfect match.Anita is currently available to meet by appointment only. Please submit an application for her and an adoption counselor will be in touch with the next steps!.

Story

Meet Tweety Bird! You would never guess by meeting her that she was found abandoned at a Walmart in Georgia. This little lady is full of love, and she shows it in the most adorable way: with excited, happy little whines whenever she greets you. It’s her way of saying, “I’m so glad you’re here!”Though Tweety Bird adores people, she hasn’t been too fond of the other dogs she’s met here at the shelter. It’s because of this we think she’d do best as your one and only love where she can enjoy a peaceful environment and all the affection she’s been waiting for.At just 2 years old, Tweety Bird has so much life ahead of her—and she’s eager to spend it with someone who will give her the love, safety, and companionship she deserves.
