Story
Rex came as a rescue from South Carolina, he is currently 8 years old but you wouldn’t know it as he still acts just like a puppy. He enjoys being free and trying to get fed as much as possible by my little ones. The home I am looking for is a home where he can roam free and sunbathe in the warmest part of your house. He is a friendly dog that loves attention, he does very well with children of all ages and people.

Story
Meet Buddy! This big, lovable guy is around 3 years old and has a heart to match his size. Buddy is currently thriving in foster care at Tide Pool Pet Services, where he has been learning all kinds of great skills and showing everyone just how special he is. He has been successfully crate trained, is building wonderful manners, and has proven to be an easy and enjoyable companion to have around. Buddy is charming, sweet, and a total social butterfly, truly everybody’s best friend, with a waggy tail and a bubbly personality that brings a happy energy wherever he goes. He is dog neutral and people neutral, able to coexist calmly while still enjoying being part of the action, whether that is time spent outdoors, exploring, or simply relaxing with his people. Buddy is happiest when he can be near his humans and included in the day to day, and he has done especially well with the structure and routine he has been building in foster care. He will do best with an adopter who is excited to continue that routine and support his ongoing training so he can keep feeling his best. To help set him up for success, his foster team is offering one month of one-on-one training support for his adopter and will remain a resource along the way. If you are looking for a big, affectionate, well mannered companion and are ready to continue helping him thrive, Buddy may be your perfect match. Buddy`s adoption fee has been waived in hopes it helps find his forever home sooner!To set up an appointment to meet Buddy, submit an application at capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp

Story
Axel, our wonderful 3 1/2-year-old Mastiff/Ridgeback mix, who is currently looking for a loving new home. Axel’s was found as a puppy battling Pneumonia and Parvo. After a month of intensive care, our family stepped in as Axel’s foster, and he quickly fit in with our four other dogs. Axel has thrived in our home and gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats. He weighs around 85 pounds and is fully up to date on all his required vet appointments. His recent annual physical went smoothly, with his blood work showing no issues and confirming he’s in great health. In terms of temperament, Axel is truly the perfect family dog. He is house trained, leash trained, and responds reliably to all basic commands like sit, stay, come, and lay down. Walks with Axel are always a pleasure—he’s easy to handle on a leash and loves being out and about. He’s also incredibly affectionate and loves attention. Our family is moving and we need to pare down the size of our pack and need find him a home

He is a medium energy guy who loves chasing toys around the yard, running his zoomies out, and then soaking up every bit of attention his people will give him. He is looking for a patient, loving home ready to help him continue to blossom outside of shelter life.After a proper intro, Jackson loves having dog friends to play with and has come a long way in learning to give other dogs space and take their cues.  His enthusiastic and playful personality would do best with dog-savvy kids who can provide some structure and boundaries around initial interactions.Jackson is a brilliant boy who already knows sit and wait and is working on lay, nearly getting it down with a little treat guidance. He is mostly crate trained and settles in well overnight and throughout the day. As a dog who spent most of his life in a shelter, Jackson is still learning the ropes of home life and does best on a consistent routine with patience and structure. He is working on his potty training and continues to make great progress every week. He walks well on leash and is learning to give to pressure and follow his handler's lead.This sky is truly the limit for this smart, loving boy.
