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
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
Cody is eager to become your new best friend and is ready to join you on all of life's adventures! He thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where his family is around more often, as he’s still learning to feel comfortable being alone. At night, Cody is content in his crate, and he’s making great progress with his housetraining and leash skills. In his foster home, Cody has gotten along wonderfully with the other dogs, so he’d love to have canine siblings to play with in a fenced-in backyard. With his high energy and playful spirit, Cody enjoys fun-filled play sessions but also knows how to wind down and relax with his humans, whether it's lounging on the couch or watching TV together. Cody is looking for a patient, loving family who can continue guiding him as he grows into the well-behaved, happy dog he’s meant to be. If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion, Cody might just be the perfect fit for you! is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.

Story
Meet Scar, the lovable 2.5-year-old who’s been patiently waiting for his forever home! Scar's adoption fee is waived if his adopter shows proof of signing up for training classes.  At 58 lbs, Scar may have a fierce name, but he’s as friendly as they come. He’s a social butterfly, getting along well with most other dogs and people, but a slow introduction is recommended. He is still learning to share his space with other dogs so we would prefer to place him as the only dog in the home. He's curious about cats, but doesn't seem to have a lot of interest in them.  He's a great listener and learns very quickly, does well in his crate but is still working on walking on a leash. He is housebroken and goes to the door when he needs to go outside! Scar is also a part time tap dancer-  when he gets excited, he taps his feet enthusiastically.  Scar has a warm heart and a playful spirit, ready to bring joy, snuggles and companionship to a loving family. is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.
