Meet Daisy! Their favorite things are sniffy walks, walks with friends, and treats (she loves chicken!) . Daisy is a bit reserved at first, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Daisy enjoys a good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settle in at the end of the day. Daisy has enjoyed spending time around other mellow dogs at the shelter, so we think they may do well with a canine sibling that is comfortable with a more calm friend.
Daisy adores their people and prefers to stick close, so they`ll need a little help feeling secure when left alone. The good news? Youll always have a devoted, loving shadow by your side!
If you think Daisy 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.

Billie is a smushy young pittie mix looking for her new home! This sweet kiddo likes to hit the trails to explore and sniff around, and loves to wrap it all up with some snacks and couch time with her people. Bille can be a bit reserved at first when making new friends, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Billie has had a hard time meeting dogs in her short life, so she would prefer to be the only dog of the family!
Billie’s a dog with a heart as big as her size, so her greetings can be a little on the rude side – potential adopters should be prepared to help her learn how to get someone’s attention without jumping on them! Luckily she is a foodie, and loves to train using positive reinforcement methods.
This sweet, smushy girl has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once she feels secure, she’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!
If you think Billie 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.

This handsome fella is Ghost, a 7 year old husky who’d love to add a little excitement to your life! Ghost is a big foodie, and loves to go on long, sniffy walks in the world, so he could make a great adventure buddy once he’s had some time to settle in, but he won’t say no to settling down afterwards to take a nap or work on a nice chew stick or frozen kong!
We don’t have a lot of history on Ghost, but know that he wasn’t regularly meeting or interacting with strangers and had a hard time living with other dogs. Ghost will do best with an adopter who’s ready to help him continue his training journey using positive reinforcement methods, and he says no thank you to living with other animals right now!
In order to best set Ghost and his adopters up for success, please note that Ghost is not a same-day adoption.
Ghost has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once he feels secure, he’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Ghost. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Henny is a sweet, affectionate older girl who absolutely loves her people and will happily lean in for all the pets and rubs you’re willing to give her. She also has a charming grin that shows off her goofy, endearing personality once she feels comfortable.
With a peaceful routine, clear structure, and plenty of love from her people, Henny has all the potential to be a deeply loyal and affectionate companion who thrives in a home where she can finally just be herself.
Since Henny prefers the company of human friends to canine friends, she would prefer to be the only dog in the home.
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Henny. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet Bowie! This sweet boy is happy, bouncy, and super wiggly. He has had two previous homes where he was not properly cared for and was brought to the shelter very underweight, so he is looking for a forever home who will keep him healthy and safe. Bowie loves to play and can be full of energy, so he`d make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or someone who`s just an admirer of the great outdoors. Lots of things may make Bowie excited, so he`d do best with adopters that can continue to train with him so that he can learn how to settle and enjoy some quiet time. Any kids in the home should be able to participate in his training plan, and should be unfazed by a bouncy pup and their goofy antics.

Meet Parker! This 5 year old pup loves sniffy walks with his favorite people, but also enjoys settling in at the end of the day with a friend on the couch. Parker can find meeting new people, changes to the environment, and people or dogs walking by the house to be a bit scary! He is looking for a quiet, low traffic home with someone to help him build his confidence and expand his world at his pace.
He does have some medical needs related to chronic skin concerns and allergies, so he is looking for an adopter with a solid vet relationship.
Parker could potentially go home with a well matched dog friend, or a dog-savvy cat companion, with full separation to start and a slow introduction.
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Parker. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Are you looking for an energetic pup? Then look no further! Nala is a high energy girl who loves toys and hanging out with her people. Nala would love an active home with an adopter who was excited to help her learn manners and bring out the polite lady we all know she has inside. She has a positive history of living with a cat and could live with kids who can participate in her training. Nala would prefer to be the only dog in the home so she can soak up all of your love and attention!
Meet Blitzen, a bright, bouncy teenage pup with energy to spare and a whole lot of love to give. This active girl lives to play and is as smart as she is food-motivated, which means she learns fast and enjoys training when treats are involved. Blitzen is still polishing her manners, both with people and around other dogs. She would benefit from having stable, playful, and tolerant adult dog friends, either in her home or among regular friends and family. She’s looking for a household ready to keep up with her fun-loving spirit and continue her training journey. Any kids in the home should be mature enough to participate in training and comfortable with her enthusiastic jumps. ** Should meet any potential dog siblings on campus before adoption to determine compatability
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Blitzen. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet our resident big boy Jason! His favorite things are sniffy walks, zooming around in a yard, his people, and treats. Jason loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors.. Jason has enjoyed meeting other dogs here at the shelter and in his previous home, so we think they may enjoy a rowdy sibling with a well managed introduction. While he has lived with kids in his previous home, he is a big rowdy guy, so kids on the older or sturdier side could be a good fit.
Jason has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once they feel secure, theyll reward you with endless love and loyalty!
If you think Jason 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.

Sunshine truly lives up to her name. She’s a big, bright personality with so much love to give, and she enjoys being right in the middle of the action with her people. After some recent changes, she started out a little shy in the shelter, but it didn’t take long for her playful, affectionate side to shine through.
In the shelter environment she was shy at first, but quickly blossomed into a goofy girl. She loves to explore, play with stuffed animals, and soak up all the attention she can get!
Sunshine has big feelings about the volume of other dogs here at the shelter, and is looking for a home where she won’t be required to interact with other dogs. It’s a big ask, but when she looks at you with those gorgeous hazel eyes like you’re the only person in the world, you’ll know she’s worth it. If you’re excited about positive reinforcement training and are searching for your other half, Sunshine might be the girl for you!
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Sunshine. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
This bouncy girl is full or spunk! She is very smart, and is doing great as she begins her work on her manners. She is looking for someone who is dedicated to using positive reinforcement training to continue this work so she can shine in her new home! Her favorite things include long sniffy walks, and romping around the yard with stuffy toys. Once she is comfortable, she is also a great snuggle partner.
Marshmallow has a pretty forward & pushy approach when interacting with other dogs, and should be the only dog in the home. Once her family gets to know her more, she can potentially have dog friends with slower introductions. This happy girl is still honing in her housebreaking skills, and would need a puppy proofed space to slowly acclimate to house life! Your new adventure buddy awaits, come see her today!
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Marshmallow. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
If you are looking for the ultimate snuggle-bug, then look no further than Indigo! This 8 year old pittie is the perfect companion for someone looking for a calm, low-key, and affectionate pup. She can sometimes be worried when navigating new or busy environments, so Indigo would love to go home to adopters in a quieter spot, so she can relax and nap to her heart’s content! She could live with a respectful dog who understands her shy tendencies, would do best in a cat-free home, and is looking for humans who can practice calm, considerate interactions.
Indigo is currently recovering from a surgery to repair her CCL (similar to an ACL tear in humans). As a result, she’s keeping it low-key as she heals up, including limited activity and not going up and down stairs, and she’s currently on medication to help manage her arthritis. Staff is happy to tell you more about her treatment and management plan!
If you’re searching for a relaxed, loving dog who’s happy to take life at a slower pace, Indigo may be the perfect fit.
Introducing Dakota! This young lady is so adorable with her big, round, chocolate colored eyes, a perfectly pouty lip, and ears that make her look like a teddy bear! While she can sometimes take some time to warm up to new people, once comfortable, she will show off her big personality. Dakota has a lot of energy and enjoys an active lifestyle. While she is no longer a puppy, she still has that puppy energy and gets up to those classic puppy antics, so she would do best with an adopter who is excited to continue her positive reinforcement training…and puppy proof their home! Dakota enjoys dog friends and could likely live with another active, playful dog in her next home. She may also do well with older kids who don’t mind a rowdy dog and can participate in her training. Dakota says no thanks to living with cats. If Dakota’s beautiful eyes have drawn you in… come in and meet her for yourself!
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Dakota. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet Huey! Huey is an eager learner who has been through several transitions in his short life. We`ve learned a lot about him and skills he is currently working on with our team, so he is looking for a patient owner to help them master manners, polite greetings, leash skills, and puppy basicstraining together will be a fun and rewarding journey!
His favorite things are training or sniffy walks, people, learning new things, and once he`s had time to get his zoomies out, some calm settling time with people. Huey is a happy, bouncy, and super wiggly pup, looking for a family to bring endless joy! Huey loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors. Huey has enjoyed interacting with other dogs here at the shelter, but is still learning how to do so! We think they might do well with a canine sibling that likes to romp and play as much as they do, with management around their introduction.
If you think Huey 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.

Meet Ned! His favorite things are getting treats, working on puzzle toys, kongs and busy boxes! He is a sweet and snuggly guy with his people. Ned loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors. Ned prefers the company of human friends to canine friends but has had some positive interactions with well-matched dogs. He has met a few dogs while in our care, and we have observed that he prefers introductions to be slow and calm, like parallel walks, to give him time to get comfortable before jumping into play. He also seems to prefer dogs with a polite play style that can exist and gently play with him instead of crashing and wrestling. Ned is an eager learner and is looking for a patient adopter who is prepared to do training. He needs some help mastering polite greetings, leash skills, and puppy some basics.

Our girl Mili is looking for a special home. This low key, older gal is both blind and diabetic. Once she knows you, she is quite a cuddler and is rather nosy as to what you are up to. With all the recent changes in her life, poor Mili can be easily overwhelmed with changes. She is hoping for patient adopters who can both keep her world small and safe, and also help her navigate her new world. Mili has a good history of living with dogs and cats. Due to her recent vision impairment, dog and cat siblings should be on the mellow side. Mili also has a good history of living with children. Mili is a sweet little thing looking for a home of her own. Would you like to meet her?

Meet Chloe! This girly might be shy at first, but quickly blossoms into a friendly and playful buddy. She spent some time in a foster home before joining us at the MSPCA, where she enjoyed hanging out with her people and playing with toys of all kinds (stuffies beware – she’s a shredder!). She’ll happily settle down with some strong toys, or a frozen Kong filled with peanut butter. She’ll thrive with an adopter who’s excited about training using positive reinforcement, and able to manage some frustration while they workshop her space.
*If going home with another dog, a dog meet is required on campus first
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Chloe. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet Kali! Her favorite things are cuddling on the couch, long sniffy walks, getting pets, and carrying around her toys. Kali is a bit nervous at first in new situations, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Kali enjoys a good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settle into a good snuggle session at the end of the day. Kali has lived with other dogs in the past, so we think she may be able to live with a dog with a slow, careful introduction.
Kali has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once she feels secure, she’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Blueberry is a young, active dog with a love for toys, play and being around his people. Unfortunately, Blueberry was diagnosed with a suspected torn CCL (like an ACL in humans!) and may need surgery. This surgery is pretty major, and recovery in a shelter setting is less than ideal. Our hope is to get him into an adoptive home so he can receive follow up care with an orthopedic surgeon and have a comfortable spot to land.
Blueberry would need 8 weeks of careful recovery following surgery, so we are looking for an adopter with a quiet home who can commit to helping Blueberry recover and providing a predictable routine. Blueberry also has penchant for the finer things in life – counter surfing, chewing, and going on unsupervised neighborhood strolls, so we are prepared to support an adopter with guidance for keeping Blueberry safe and providing extra enrichment activities to keep his brain satisfied. He is going to require short leash walks, and would need to be carefully managed around other dogs in the home, at least to start – he is playful by nature and can become quite frustrated when seeing other dogs he can’t play with, and we want to make sure he won’t re-injure his leg!
If you love working on brain games with dogs, have a fondness for land seals, and are up for helping Blueberry get through a tough injury – come meet him today! We promise you’ll be rewarded with a lot of goofy play, the biggest smiles, and a whole lotta love.
*MSPCA will cover the initial cost of surgery, however, we do expect that Blueberry will need additional medical support down the road, so an adopter should be prepared to financially support his medical needs in the future*
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Blueberry. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet Bear! Their favorite things are cuddling and getting pets, fetch, playing in the water, and people! Bear is a happy, bouncy, and super wiggly pup, looking for a family to bring endless joy! Bear loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for someone looking for an active buddy to keep busy with. Bear has enjoyed wrestling with other dogs here at the shelter, so we think they might do well with a canine sibling that likes to romp and play as much as they do.
Bear is an eager learner is looking for a patient owner to help them master polite greetings, leash skills, and doggy basics—training together will be a fun and rewarding journey!

Panther would thrive with adopters who are happy to let him warm up at his own pace. He’s looking for a quieter home where he can feel safe and supported as he continues to build confidence.
This handsome boy has lots of energy and a zest for life! He loves to jump and show off his playful side, so he’d benefit from someone who can help him polish his manners and guide him through some of his quirky behaviors. If you’re ready to give this affectionate, high-energy sweetheart the patient and loving home he deserves, Panther might just be your new best friend. Come meet him today!

Meet the adorable Cookie! Cookie is a slightly older lady that still has a lot of pep in her step! She’s known for her bouncy prance while taking walks, her round soulful eyes, loving human food, and wearing a fashionable jacket to keep her from shivering on chilly days. Cookie is sensitive and gentle girl that lived a sheltered life before coming to the adoption center where she didn’t spend lots of time with new people or go into busy environments. Naturally, the busy pace of living in a shelter environment has not been easy for a homebody like her! She’s spending time away from the hustle and bustle in a foster home while she waits for her perfect adopter to come in and ask about her! Don’t be discouraged that Cookie is in foster, she’s still waiting for a home that can suit her needs and can come to the shelter to meet potential matches. In Cookie’s dream home, she would live in a quieter neighborhood with a calm home enrivonment. Once she settles in, she’s a snuggle bug! So she wants to make sure her new family has plenty of space on the couch for her to snuggle in. Cookie is looking for a home with adults or older teens to respect her space and keep a calm environment. Cookie would prefer to be the only dog in the home, but could potentially live with a cat! This sweet snuggly lady is ready to find a family to call her own! Please call or come into the adoption center to ask about her if you also enjoy being a laid back introvert!
Meet Cookie! This sweet, sensitive girl is looking for a quiet and understanding home to call her own. She came to us when her family’s landlord stopped allowing pets, after they raised her from a puppy. Cookie has a history of house training, loves to snuggle up to her people, and easily self-entertains with toys. Once she feels safe, she truly believes she is a lap dog.
Cookie is shy, and can be fearful with new people and in new environments. When uncomfortable, she may try to avoid interaction or communicate that she needs space. She’s looking for a patient adopter who understands dog body language and can read her in these moments, advocate for her needs, and help her feel safe and comfortable as she settles in. Cookie has shown that she is uncomfortable around other dogs, and would prefer to be the only dog in the home. She’ll need an adopter who is committed to avoiding dog-heavy environments and can provide leash walks in quiet areas or access to private, fenced-in spaces. A nice quiet neighborhood will be best for her comfort.
Cookie has a history of living with a cat, and could be successful again with slow, thoughtful introductions. She may do well in a home with kids who can help provide structure and training support as she continues to learn, and who understand to let her approach and interact on her terms. With time, consistency, and positive reinforcement, Cookie will be a deeply loving, affectionate companion. She is searching for a calm home, a predictable routine, and someone who is ready to meet her where she is, and earn her trust one gentle step at a time.
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Cookie. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
