This pretty girl is Africa. Africa is a lovely dog who is sweet and friendly once she knows you. Not only is she crate trained, she really enjoys relaxing in her crate. She is house trained and has successfully lived with cats and kids. I hope you have sneakers because this girl loves her long sniffy walks. She sounds perfect, doesnt she? In her previous home, Africa was affectionate and snuggly. Here at the shelter, she seems a bit uncomfortable with close handling. She is hoping her new family will give her some time and space to settle into her new home. Africa has also lived with two dogs previously. One dog she was absolutely best friends with, while the other, they did not always get along. So, Africa could probably live with a well matched dog friend. Do you think Africa could be the dog for your family?

If you think Africa could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Nevins Farm Adoption Center in Methuen. We have open adoption hours Tuesday – Sunday from 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm with 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. 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.

Vulcan is an adorable and sensitive guy who is looking for a patient family. Prior to coming to the shelter, Vulcan had very limited experience with the outside world. New things can be overwhelming for him, but as we have seen at the shelter, with some patience and time, he is open to exploring his surroundings and expanding his comfort zone. Vulcan would do best in a quieter home with a patient family who is excited to ease Vulcan into a new routine at his own pace and start some basic training. If you would like to learn more about what makes this handsome hunk so special, come in to start the matchmaking conversation!

Meet Muppet, an energetic little shortstack who may need some time to warm up, but will gladly be your snuggle buddy once he’s comfortable! Muppet is still working on his manners, and will thrive with adopters who can read his body language and manage accordingly. He loves squeaky toys and time with his favorite people, and would prefer a home that doesn’t get a lot of visitors – new people can be scary! Muppet can have dog friends, but will need a slow and well-managed intro to ensure it’s a good match. Potential dog siblings should come meet him at the shelter before he goes home. If you like the sound of a project dog who will look at you like you’re his entire world, Muppet just might be your guy!

Looking for the biggest blockhead on the face of the earth? Look no further – Blanco is here! This gigantic lovebug thinks he’s a lapdog, and he loves a nice cuddle session on the sofa after romping with his toys or going for a walk. Blanco has made great progress working on his leash manners, but his adopter should be prepared for his strength to come out when he gets excited. He’s a very smart guy, who is food motivated and excels at training with positive reinforcement. This will come in handy, as he’s still working on his manners! Blanco has a history of living with another dog, but can be selective about his friends, so potential canine siblings will need to meet him at the shelter before he goes home. Due to his size and a history of being stressed around young kids, Blanco is looking for an adult-only household.
