Hounds of Highfield, June 23, 2024
CAP was a presence at the Hounds of Highfield event at Highfield Hall and Gardens in Falmouth. This event celebrated all things canine and paid tribute to our furry companions. In addition to spreading the word about the benefits of pet therapy, some of our four-footed members strutted their stuff in the Hounds of Highfield parade.
Buzzards Bay Eagles: Fraternal Order of Eagles Cape Cod Canal Walk, May 18, 2024
CAP supported the Order of Eagles in their fundraiser for Toka’s Friends, a program in Rhode Island that trains and places service dogs with Veterans challenged by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). In the past, CAP benefitted from this event, and this year, we are happy to be paying it forward with our support for this worthy cause. Some of CAP’s participants are pictured here undeterred by the less-than-ideal weather.
