Mews and Pupdates | August 2025 From Cape Ann Animal Aid
![]() |
![]() |
After 365 days in the care of Cape Ann Animal Aid, Ozzie finally went home! Ozzie entered our care on July 29th, 2024 after Gloucester’s Animal Control took him into custody. He weighed a mere 46 lbs when he arrived, but after much love and care, he reached a healthy weight and his goofy, lovable personality shone through. He was adopted on July 29th, 2025, on the 1-year anniversary of his arrival!
“Ozzie update. Today makes 2 weeks of him being in his forever home. The first night he was home I woke up at 3am feeling like someone was staring at me. I opened my eyes and realized he was standing above me with his nose about an inch from my nose looking at me. Needless to say I was a little startled, I guess I was snoring and he was curious LOL. The first few days I was looking for his off switch. He had been full tilt from the minute he woke up till bed time. In 2 weeks he has only had 1 potty accident in the house. Ozzie has now settled into the daily routine and is very happy. I now know that I have a permanent shadow. Anytime I walk out of eyesight he immediately gets up to see where I am going. I also learned that the neighborhood now has a permanent watch dog. If a bag blows across the street 4 blocks away he hears it and has to bark at it no matter the time of day or night. He is a very loving boy that just wants to play and be loved. He loves doing zoomies and playing ball in the back yard and also loves going for rides in the truck. He has really enjoyed meeting new friends that have stopped by, offering them his ball to throw, (if they can get it LOL). He is a good boy and I want to thank Cape Ann Animal Aid for allowing me to adopt him. I hope this can give inspiration to other people to give older and bigger dogs a chance at a happy life.”

| PLAY YARD MATCHING CAMPAIGN We have less than $3,000 left to raise to meet our goal of raising $10,000 to improve and reinforce our play yard fencing! And you have 2 more weeks to have your gift matched by Tito’s Handmade Vodka! Through August 31st, Tito’s will generously match every dollar donated up to $10,000. That means your $25 gift becomes $50, helping us reach the $20,000 needed to:✅ Replace the old, dug-out fencing with a secure, permanent solution✅ Add a visual barrier between 2 of 3 play yards (hello, privacy!)✅ Create a calm, safe space where every dog can enjoy time outdoors—especially those who need a little extra space or get overstimulated easily These thoughtful updates will help dogs who are shy, reactive, or recovering from tough experiences feel safe and supported. With visual separation between play yards, they can enjoy outdoor time without the stress of seeing other dogs constantly. |

The old man was handsome, a ball breaker and a sharp dresser. Him and our mom were a great couple in love. I’m glad he got to retire at 51 so they could enjoy Naples in the winter before the disease got him

Chris Langanopolopolopolpopolos- Co Winner Of The Blox! Watch here-
The Best of the Best… Which Entrepreneur Will Win The Blox? (S17E8)
Chris writes
“Sunday night marked the official end of Season 17 of The Blox, and I am excited to finally be able to say that Sunnoo was co-winner of “Most Investible” company from out of 100 companies there and 150,000+ applications to compete.
This was such an indescribably unique experience for me. I have said on many occasions that it was the probably the most intellectually, physically, and emotionally challenging thing I have done in my life. I learned a lot – not new concepts, just new ways of looking at and applying the things that I knew all along. I always say that my job as a strategy consultant is to teach people things about their brands that they already knew but were never able to articulate – The Blox flipped the student/teacher paradigm and did that for me.
As important than all of that is the friendships that I made. In one week, I made friends that I believe will be friends for life. I am proud of every single person that shared that week with me in Tulsa, Oklahoma last summer.
I am not a drink-the-koolaid type of person, but Wes Bergmann and BetaBlox has created something that is truly unique, and in a lot of ways, life-changing from a business and personal perspective. Once you’re a part of it, you’re part of a special community, and it’s something you want to stay connected to.
If you are a small startup or solo entrepreneur, visit the BetaBlox website, and apply. You will be very glad you did.”
