Meet teen puppy Juliette! Juliette is happy, bouncy, and full of life! Juliette loves her friends over at the shelter and has been our latest little puppy project. Thus far in our care, Juliette is working hard at practicing her polite greetings, comfortably navigating the world on leash, and using her little puppy mouth in appropriate ways all by the means of force-free, positively reinforced interactions. We are looking for adopters willing to take on this little lady who will require a bit more support than your average puppy while she continues to learn the ropes of life!
Juliette is a bit worried about dogs, and would prefer to be the only pup in the home. Juliette has a history of living with a cat that she was pretty interested in playing with, so any cats involved in her life should be dog-savvy, and comfortable with a high-energy pup! Juliette is looking to join a home with adults only at this time to best set her on the track to continue practicing being her best self in a lower traffic home.
If our smart cookie Juliette sounds like the pup for you, please head to the Methuen MSPCA location Tuesday-Sunday between the hours of 12PM-3PM!

Meet 6 year old Benji! Benji is the full package- he`s big, strong, silly and smart! He is looking for a patient adopter who is excited about training using positive reinforcement to help him learn his best leash walking skills. Although Benji is able to navigate a world close to other dogs, he would prefer not to live with another resident dog and would likely thrive in a lower trafficked environment outside. Benji has the potential to have some calm, tolerant canine walking friends. Benji may be able to live with older teens who are comfortable with a big strong dog! Benji does not have a history with cats, so any interested adopters should be committed to taking an introduction with a resident cat extremely slowly!
Finally, sweet Benji came to the shelter with a tear in his CCL that will require surgery. While the shelter is happy to perform this surgery, adopters should understand that after this Benji will require lots of rest and recovery.
If Benji sounds like the dog for you, please visit our Methuen Adoption Center Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-3PM.
Meet our smushy and sweet girl Nelly! Nelly is a 5 year old dog who is energetic, smart, and loves her people! While she requires a little bit of time to get lovey with her new family, once she knows you she is sweet as a peach. Nelly is looking for adopters who are willing to give her adult-self adequate time and space to fully transition into her new home, as she`s been through a lot of change in a pretty short period of time. This means respecting her boundaries, and taking it slow while she gets to know everyone in the home.
Bonus: Nelly appears to be house-trained already, but adopters should understand that in a new setting it might take her some time to always make the mark! Nelly is currently looking to go to a home where she is the only pet, but has the potential to live in a neighborhood that has dogs in it- so long as her people are diligent in how they go about doing introductions! Nelly has no known experience living with kids, but could likely do well with teens who are able to read dog body language and give her space while she settles in.
If Nelly sounds like a fit for your home, feel free to stop by our Cape Adoption Center 1PM-4PM Tuesday-Sunday!
Meet Princesa! This regal mix breed has lots of love (and energy!) to give, and she cant wait to find her new home where she will be treated like true royalty!

Meet Stone, a true testament to the adage that age is just a number! This delightful 10-year-old male dog embodies all the qualities of a seasoned gentleman, with a heart full of love. With a decade of practice being the best boy he can be, Stone is a great companion who has practiced the ins and outs of canine etiquette. He boasts an glowing history of going to the bathroom outside and settling in like a pro once he`s found his comfort zone indoors.
Stone has previously done well with the company of older kids and delights in playful interactions with them. However, it`s worth noting that he`s quite strong on the leash, showcasing his robust spirit and zest for life. With his charming smile and endearing personality, Stone is sure to bring joy and warmth to any home. He`s seeking a patient adopter who understands the nuances of transitions and is

Bumi
2 Years Old
Neutered Male
Australian Shepherd
Bumi is a spunky guy who is ready to find a new home of his own. In tpyical Aussie fashion he can be a bit high strung and we’re not always sure what he’s worried about. In his previous home Bumi wasn’t afraid to use his voice to express his displeasure about being left alone. Once he settles in he is a very snuggly and playful boy who loves to follow his people around and supervise their activities. Bumi previously lived with another dog that seemed to increase his stress levels, so he might be able to have friends we think he might do best as the only pet. If you enjoy training and spending lots of time at home with your canine companion Bumi might be the guy for you!

Oreo is a spunky, young guy who is full of personality! Oreo loves to play and be silly, but is also a champion when it comes to training. He’s still an adolescent pup who has a lot to learn about the world, and he can sometimes find the sights and sounds of the big city to be pretty overwhelming. Because he’s such a food enthusiast, Oreo is looking for adopters who can help him lose some weight so he can look and feel his best going forward. Oreo could live with another well-matched dog friend, potentially cats, and older children who can help participate in his training.

Bella Banana Maureen is a sweet and silly pup looking for a special home!

Louie is a goofy guy who is ready to find a new home. He came to us from a southern shelter, so we’re not sure what his life was like before he got here.
