Story
MY ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED JULY 15 - 21 AS PART OF THE MASS SAVES ADOPTATHON!! Meet our smushy and sweet girl Nelly! Nelly is a 5-year old dog who is energetic, smart, and loves her people! While she requires a little bit of time to get lovey with her new family, once she knows you she is sweet as a peach. Nelly is looking for adopters who are willing to give her adult-self adequate time and space to fully transition into her new home, as she`s been through a lot of change in a pretty short period of time. This means respecting her boundaries, and taking it slow while she gets to know everyone in the home. Bonus: Nelly appears to be house-trained already, but adopters should understand that in a new setting it might take her some time to always make the mark! Nelly is currently looking to go to a home where she is the only pet, but has the potential to live in a neighborhood that has dogs in it- so long as her people are diligent in how they go about doing introductions! Nelly has no known experience living with kids, but could likely do well with teens who are able to read dog body language and give her space while she settles in. If Nelly sounds like a fit for your home, feel free to stop by our Cape Adoption Center 1PM-4PM Tuesday-Sunday!

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED JULY 15 - 21 AS PART OF THE MASS SAVES ADOPTATHON!! Meet Bodhi, the charming 9-year-old pit bull with a heart of gold and a unique sense of style (thanks to his skin issues hes a trendsetter, really). Bodhi is seeking someone who understands the importance of personal space (because sometimes a dog just needs a little me time, you know?) and can give him the time he needs to adjust. Bodhi could potentially live with older kids who can give him the respect he deserves (and maybe a treat or two). Bodhi could potentially live with a well-matched dog or a dog-savvy cat. Interested in adopting a dog? Come by Tuesday-Sunday from 1-5pm during our open hours!

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED JULY 15 - 21 AS PART OF THE MASS SAVES ADOPTATHON!! Meet Diamond, the sparkling gem youve been searching for! Just like her namesake, she is truly one-of-a-kind and radiates a special kind of sparkle. Diamond can be a bit shy with new people and in new places, but with patience and kindness, youll discover her true sweet and silly nature. She loves to play, and will fill your days with laughter and joy once you become friends. She would thrive best as the only pet in the home, where she can be your one and only pet. Once shes settled in to her new home however, she could potentially have dog friends outside of the home. Kids living in the home should be sturdy and comfortable with big, bouncy dogs! If youre ready to add a dazzling companion to your life, come meet Diamond at the Cape shelter during our open hours! Our open hours are Tuesdays-Sundays 1pm-5pm.

German Shepherd Dog

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
MY ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED JULY 15 - 21 AS PART OF THE MASS SAVES ADOPTATHON! This good-looking boy is Amistoso, who would make a great walking buddy as he loves going for walks! In his previous home, Ami had a history of interacting with both large and small dogs. The thing is, some dogs he liked and some he did not. He therefore might do better in a lower-traffic neighborhood where he is less likely to see a dog around every corner. He would prefer to be the only dog in the household, but might enjoy a dog-walking buddy once he`s settled in. He could possibly live with a dog-savvy cat and says no thank you to living with kids. Here at the shelter he has been working on saying hello to people while keeping all four feet on the floor. He is hoping for an adopter that will help him continue this training by using positive reinforcement. Luckily, this good boy loves training for treats! Do you want to meet Amistoso? Visit him at the MSPCA Cape Cod in Centerville Tuesday-Sunday 1PM-5PM.
