Name: Brandi

Breed: American Staffordshire Mix

Age: 1 1/2 years

Town: Eastham

Favorite Cape Spot: Watching the bird at the feeders in her own back yard

Family Role: Brandi is a good-natured girl and lover of squeeky things. Her owner missed her so much that she just re-adopted her soon after bringing her to the shelter due to a sudden and severe change in allergic reaction to the dog. Now she’s back to her pampered life at home in mom’s bed!

Name: Rigley

Breed: Golden Retriever

Age: 3 years

Town: West Barnstable

Favorite Cape Spot: Scorton Creek, bird sanctuary

Family Role: Rigley enjoys spending his parents’ retirement sitting right up front in the RV with them! He just returned home from a three-month trip down the East coast and back, where he made sure to sniff out all the most dog-friendly places. Whenever possible, this very white dog will lay down in a deep puddle of mud.

Name: Bromley

Breed: Husky / Doberman

Age: 11 years

Town: Marstons Mils

Favorite Cape Spot: Long Pond Conservation Area, Marstons Mills

Family Role: Bromley serves as the older, more wiser (read: calming) influence on his new little brother, Brewer. He still has a spring in his step, however, and an urgent need to make snow-angels even when there’s no snow on the grass.

Name: Moxie

Breed: Black Lab

Age: 3 years

Town: Falmouth

Favorite Cape Spot: South Cape Beach, Mashpee

Family Role: Moxie’s mom likes to think of Moxie as a co-pilot, but it might actually be that Moxie’s in the driver’s seat most of the time. Her long tongue has sparked many nicknames, stories and giggles.

Name: Hooper

Breed: Yellow-lab / Greyhound?

Age: 2 years

Town: Centerville

Favorite Cape Spot: Eagle Pond, Cotuit

Family Role: Hooper likes to watch movies. On the couch. In fact, on the humans. But you’ll never be cold! He’s also quite fond of chasing his three kitty brothers and sisters.

Age: 11 years

Town: Sandwich, MA

Favorite Cape Spot: Lowell Holly Conservation Area, Sandwich, MA
