Yes, that Cooper, who has returned from his recent in-house foster assessment, where we were able to get a sense of his house manners. We learned some wondrous things about this adult American bulldog mix. Fri, 18 May 2012 15:26:00 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=322 Misha was a stray in Mashpee who was lucky enough to have a kind person feed her until she eventually came to us. She is still quite thin but has relaxed in a suite at the shelter and is ready for a real home. Tue, 15 May 2012 11:32:23 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=321 Willow is a very affectionate, large girl who loves to be petted & brushed. She enjoys being a lap cat and talked to gently. Willow is a calm and collected girl who doesn't cause any problems - she doesn't try to sneak out the door and spends much of her time lounging around. Tue, 15 May 2012 11:27:23 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=320 This petite, one year old, gray tuxedo is Dottie. In spite of having been abandoned in Pocasset, she is a friendly, curious, and playful girl. Tue, 08 May 2012 11:28:46 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=319 Hi, my name is Little Bear! I'm an energetic playful little guy looking for a new home with someone who can help me work on some issues. You see, I tend to push the envelope with people to see what I can get away with, so I need someone who is experienced with training who will not let me rule the roost. Tue, 01 May 2012 11:47:10 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=318 Larry Levin, author of the New York Times Bestseller OOGY: The Dog Only a  Family Could Love, will be making a special appearance on the Cape this weekend.  Levin, accompanied by Oogy, will be doing a book signing and meet & greet at the 2nd Annual Paws for Celebration event to benefit The Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Cape Cod Branch.

Tue, 01 May 2012 10:50:20 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=316 An embarrassment of riches is not just a phrase from an 18th-century French play, it’s also what we have at the shelter right now: we’ve got three, and as of tomorrow, two, really, really nice dogs. Tue, 01 May 2012 10:33:26 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=315 Beginning Monday, April 30, 2012, rabies vaccine bait will be distributed throughout Cape Cod towns from Barnstable to Orleans.  Completion of the project, sponsored by the Cape Cod Rabies Task Force, the United States Department of Agriculture and the MA Department of Public Health, should take approximately 3 weeks. Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:51:24 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=314 Recently, People for Cats in Falmouth received a bevy of beautiful felines--three mothers and more than fifteen one-week-old kittens. Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:56:05 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=313 Coconut is a friendly mini lop type bunny. He is litter box trained and is used to living with dogs. Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:51:08 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=312 Earlier this month, Dennisport got a little more pet-friendly with the opening of Hot Diggity Dog Wash & Boutique at 677 Main Street. The shop is the second such location for owner Nicole Merriman of Brewster. Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:09:49 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=311 Meet Shadow, a friendly tortoiseshell cat who is about 7-years-old. She came to us because she was unhappy living in a household with very young children. Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:53:51 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=310 You might think wind, love and energy are invisible, but you’d be wrong, at least as far as energy is concerned. Just watch Jack in motion: this little Jack Russell terrier is energy incarnate. He, along with his housemate, Jade, a female black Lab mix, need to find new homes soon—either together or separately. Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:37:39 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=309 So, Drummer Boy Park is closed to dogs. (The following letter to the editor was posted on CapeCodToday.com on April 18, 2012.) Wed, 18 Apr 2012 11:52:26 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=308 The pets in the Animal Rescue League’s Cape Cod shelter are enjoying the sweet sounds of Bach, Beethoven and other soothing classics thanks to some local Girl Scouts. Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:38:12 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=307 Hi, my name is Jack! I'm a 6-year-old English setter/border collie mix (born 11/17/05). Even though I'm middle-aged, don't count on me being a couch potato. Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:10:59 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=306 We are looking for someone special to adopt our Razz. He is a healthy, nine year old brown tabby with distinctive round, yellow eyes. Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:42:08 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=305 Hanging out with Cooper is so easy and comfortable, it’s kind of like staying in your pajamas all day. This adult (6 to 8 years old?) American bulldog mix is big but gentle; older but playful; strong but obedient. His mostly white coat features random patches of brown, making for an interesting coloration. Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:53:55 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=304 Brooke is a 7-month-old tuxedo boy who has already been neutered and had all his shots. He is shy with strangers but once he gets to know someone Brooke is a snuggler. Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:42:29 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=303 When it comes to anything other than direct care of the dogs, we imitate the parsimony of Jack Benny. We strive to recycle, reuse and repurpose whenever practical. But when it comes to the dogs, well, that, as they say, is a whole ’nother thing. We do whatever we can to provide medical treatment, or special food, or special training, or a particular harness, or retrofit a kennel enclosure for safety, or find dog doors that work for all size dogs and keep the weather out. Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:31:48 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=302 Elmo is a newcomer to our shelter but we doubt he will be there long. Only about a year old, Elmo is a slender tuxedo with a splash of white beside his nose. He is neutered and has had all his shots. Tue, 03 Apr 2012 10:27:12 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=301 Newton’s Third Law of Motion tells us that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What, you ask, does this have to do with us. We’re glad you asked. You see, over the years, we have found that for (almost) every challenge we encounter, there is an equal and appropriate reaction: sick dogs get treatment; fearful dogs find refuge; homeless dogs are adopted. When dogs with particular needs come through our doors and we put out a plea for help, someone in the community comes forward with that help. Tue, 03 Apr 2012 09:35:46 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=300 Once again, the Cape Cod Veterinary Medical Association and Cape Cod Rabies Task Force will hold rabies vaccination clinics from Sandwich to Provincetown. These inexpensive clinics began on March 24 and continue through April 21, 2012. Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:42:25 -0400 http://www.capecodpets.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=299 Call it circuitous. Call it fortuitous. Call it what you will, but we call it marvelous. We’re talking, of course, about Scout: how he arrived and how he left. From off-Cape to on-Cape to off-Cape again, this young boxer’s journey has been full of drama, with some sadness, more triumphs and lots of happiness thrown into the mix. Scout has begun the next chapter in his life—the best part of his life. Tue, 27 Mar 2012 11:58:48 -0400
