Story

Hello everyone, Our dog, Rowdy, was given to us by a friend when he was just one month old, and he is now six months old. While we have not yet had the opportunity to take him to the veterinarian for routine check-ups or vaccinations, he appears to be in good health. Rowdy is a loving and playful dog who does very well around children and other dogs. He especially enjoys playing with squeaky balls and often playfully teases other dogs by carrying his toys. His birthday is September 23, 2025. Unfortunately, due to housing restrictions that limit us to one pet, we are no longer able to keep him. We currently have a mini poodle, and Rowdy gets along very well with him. He is trained to sit, give his paw, and lie down. Rowdy would thrive in a caring and loving home. He may bark initially at strangers, but once he becomes familiar with someone, he is very friendly and affectionate. As a larger, energetic dog, he can play a bit roughly at times, but this is typical for his size and age.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Billie is a smushy young pittie mix looking for her new home! This sweet kiddo likes to hit the trails to explore and sniff around, and loves to wrap it all up with some snacks and couch time with her people. Bille can be a bit reserved at first when making new friends, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Billie has had a hard time meeting dogs in her short life, so she would prefer to be the only dog of the family!Billie`s a dog with a heart as big as her size, so her greetings can be a little on the rude side - potential adopters should be prepared to help her learn how to get someone`s attention without jumping on them! Luckily she is a foodie, and loves to train using positive reinforcement methods.This sweet, smushy girl has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once she feels secure, she’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Bambi! This fun loving, pint-sized girl came to us on a transport from a shelter out of state so we don`t know much about her history. What we have found is that she loves to play with her toys and is super snuggly once her needs have been met. We know that she would do best with an adopter who can provide her with some structure and a gentle approach to training while she catches up on her manners. Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to learn more about this silly girl!
