Story
**My adoption fee has been waived by a generous donor!**Chef is currently in a foster home and not residing at the care center. If you are interested in adopting Chef, please call the Program Coordinator at 508-775-4112 or email capevolunteer@mspca.org!---If you love a slow simmer and know that good things come as a result of time and care, you`ll fall in love with Chef. This spry grandpa might take a little time to settle into your home, but once he does, you`ll experience his beautiful, cuddly, patient, and sweet soul. He would love to be your one and only. Chef spends a lot of his time napping, preferably in close proximity to or on his humans. He loves a lap or a shoulder on which to place his head. He can cuddle for hours when he`s in a certain mood, and he`s been known to climb into laps like a cat: however, he appreciates his space sometimes, too. More than anything, he loves sniffing. Be prepared for some slow walks while he sniffs every lawn, hydrant, and bush he can get his nose on. He appreciates patience while he explores scents, especially because he`s unable to hear. He gets energetic a couple of times a day, but if given a choice of his favorite projects - a stuffed Kong, a chew toy, a bully stick, a broth ice cube - he`s able to settle. He`ll ask for pets when he`d like them, but sometimes he just likes to stand near his humans while he looks around and sniffs. Because of his deafness, he appreciates a careful approach. Two of Chef`s best traits are his gentleness and patience. Sure, he`s a klutz, and a master of physical comedy, but he is gentle and patient with his humans. Life with Chef means a life with cuddles, snuggles, laughter, treats, leisurely walks, and lots of naps. If you`re ready to greet every day with happy tail wags and soulful brown eyes, then you should say, Yes, Chef! Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

Story
*** My adoption fee will be waived December 5 - 8 as part of the Home for the Holidays adoption event!!! ***Meet Mufasa, a playful 3-year-old Havanese looking for his new home! Mufasa may be a little nervous around strangers, but once he gets to know you, he’s a friendly and silly companion. Mufasa is sensitive when it comes to veterinary visits and grooming, so he’ll need a gentle, patient hand and an owner that will be an advocate for him. He is crate trained and has a great history living with cats! Mufasa could potentially go to a home with older children, but because of his handling sensitivity no young kids for this little guy.If you think this dog could be a good match for you and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to speak with our staff about her. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm – no appointment or application needed.Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through.

Story
Who is this regal looking pup? This is Reina, and she`s looking to find her furever home! Reina may be 3 years old, but still has a lot to learn about being an upstanding canine citizen! Reina would love some help working on her manners, she loves positive reinforcement training and could do really well with a family that is just as excited to train as she is. Reina would do best in a quiet, calm environment to help her come out of her shell, as she tends to get stressed and overwhelmed in new situations. Reina is young and athletic, and has known to LOVE playing with her tennis balls and getting zoomies. Reina would love a patient adopter that can take things at her pace, and she will reward them with lots of snuggles! If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through.

Story
Capri Sun is a older lady who is looking for a special home. She is one of the dogs from the large surrender we took of under-socialized boxers. Due to her abnormal history she is a very nervous lady who is slow to warm up to people and new situations. Capri Sun will need a family committed to helping her settle in at her own pace and learn normal dog behaviors. She would likely do best in a home without another dog or young kids. If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs. Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog thats a good match!
