Story
Hi, my name is Vlady. I'm a sweet puppy who traveled all the way from Puerto Rico with my littermates to CAAA to find my forever home. I am 3 months old and appear to be a German Shepherd mix. I weigh approximately 20 lbs right now and they're thinking I'll be a medium to large sized dog when fully grown. I enjoy cuddling with humans and playing with my siblings. And like all young puppies I am adorable and love being outdoors & chasing toys. If you're looking for an outgoing puppy I'm your dog! Please fill out an application so when you visit the shelter we can spend some time together. You can find the application at https://capeannanimalaid.org/adopt.html

Story
Before calling about this dog, please read our adoption requirements at http://gsrne.org/requirements-for-adopting-from-gsrne Dora is a very sweet, loving dog with a calm demeanor.  Her foster mom describes her as a medium energy dog.  She is a cuddle bug and loves to be with her people.  She does have a silly streak like lying with her legs splayed out on the floor or occasionally “talking back” to you when she wants to get your attention or to tell you when she needs something.  Everyone who’s met her has said what a happy girl she is, greeting them with a wagging tail and kisses.  She loves to play fetch and dart around the flirt pole her foster mom uses for enrichment, but can also self-occupy herself with a bone which she will easily give up to you if you ask. Dora is smart, food motivated, and a quick learner.  Dora would do best in a home where she is not left alone for long periods of time.  She’d enjoy a person or family who would want to spend time with her, go on adventures with her, and continue the training she has started in foster care.  Dora did live with another dog in her previous life and, with proper introductions, we believe she would do fine with a calm, large breed male.  We also believe she’d do well with older children.  This girl has a lot of love to give and she is looking forward to finding her forever home.

Story
Before calling about this dog, please read our adoption requirements at http://gsrne.org/requirements-for-adopting-from-gsrne Hi! My name is Harper. My foster mom says I’m an absolute babydoll. I don’t know what that means, but I guess it’s a good thing because she keeps telling me what a good girl I am. I make her laugh with my zoomies in the yard and when I come give lots of kisses. I have a good amount of energy, but once I’ve gotten it out, I really like cuddling and getting belly rubs. I enjoy a good chew in my crate and running around with a squeaky toy in my mouth which I may consider pulling apart at some point! I was taken in by a woman who is a vet tech when I wasn’t getting the attention I needed at my original home. She got me up to date with my vet care, socialized me around her dogs and kids, and kept me safe while she looked for a permanent family of my own. She eventually called the nice people at GSRNE and they were able to find me a foster placement. I really love people, kids in particular. I like other dogs as well. The dogs in my foster home haven’t been super happy that I’m here, but I keep trying to win them over and play. The evaluator who met me told my mom that I was looking out from under my Great Dane brother’s legs when she arrived. I DO NOT, however, like cats. I haven’t been around small dogs, but my foster mom says that since I don’t like cats I probably shouldn’t go to a home with small dogs. My foster mom says I’m one of the easiest foster dogs she’s ever had and she’s had quite a few. I will follow you everywhere you go in the house so you won’t ever be alone. I have good house manners and some basic training, but as with all dogs, you need to keep up my training so I can continue being the best girl. I’m really excited about finding my forever family. Could that be you?
