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.

Introducing Sammi! Sammi is a big boy with a big heart, yet he still has a lot of learning and training to do. Known for his exuberant greetings, Sammi tends to jump on people out of excitement (which can
be alarming when the dog weighs roughly 90 lbs!). Sammi can be easily worried or overwhelmed by changes in his environment, and is in need of an adopter who can provide him with the necessary training and patience to help him become the best version of himself.
He is working on his leash manners, but he is very strong and needs an adopter who is able to handle a large breed dog who pulls. His jumping behavior will need to be diligently addressed through training and positive reinforcement. Sammi will benefit from
ongoing obedience training to help him channel his energy in a constructive way. Patience and consistency are key when it comes to helping Sammi learn and grow into a well-mannered and balanced dog.

If you have experience with large and strong dogs and can offer Sammi the structured and loving home he needs, stop by the shelter during open hours to inquire about him today.

If you think Sammi 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.

Meet Dakota! This handsome, scruffy guy is a master of sniffy walks, and would make a good buddy for anyone who likes to explore the great outdoors. He’s on the shyer side of life, and will probably do best in a lower-traffic home without a lot of people coming and going–once he’s warmed up to his people, he’s a silly and very sweet guy, but Dakota often needs time to feel comfortable with new people petting him, so he’d love an adopter who can help be his advocate while he’s out in the world!

Dakota briefly lived with a cat in his previous home, and may be able to live with a cat with separation to start. He doesn’t have experience living with another dog, but could potentially go home with a well-matched, mellow dog companion. Dakota doesn’t like sharing his food, so adopters should be ready to manage their environment to help him out when around other animals in the home!

Dakota 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 Dakota. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Calling all heroes!

We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Groot. He is a one year old cat that loves getting pet, playing with toys, and has a regressive case of FeLV, or Feline Leukemia Virus which may shorten his lifespan, and we are hoping to find him a loving indoor-only home where he can live out his life. Despite his diagnosis, he is a social and affectionate cat with his favorite humans! Groot would need to be the only cat in the household, or have feline friends that also have FeLV. Interested adopters should click the inquire button below to learn more and shelter staff will provide additional counseling on FeLV and answer any questions at the time of adoption.

More info on FeLV can be found here: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951934

Meet Arthur, a 3 year old Husky with a heart full of potential. We have limited history on him, but know that he was living in a bubble, meaning he was not meeting strangers or other dogs, and is very fearful as a result–Arthur can be shy and uncertain of the world around him, but with patience and gentle guidance, he is learning that the world is not so scary.

As Arthur has an abnormal background, he is looking for an adopter who can offer him a calm, patient environment where he can continue to grow and learn. He will need someone who’s ready to teach him all the basics, such as housebreaking, walking on a leash, and general manners, using positive reinforcement training (Arthur loves snacks and is very smart, so he’s a great training buddy!). As Arthur is worried and has a lot he’s working on, he says no thank you to living with other pets for now, please!

Cady is a smart, shy, sweet girl who loves long walks with her
favorite people! She is very food-motivated and responds well to positive
reinforcement training. She has enjoyed spending time around other mellow
dogs at the shelter, so we think she could do well with a canine sibling
that is comfortable with a more calm friend, or she`d be happy being your
one-and-only dog. Cady will do best in a low-traffic, quieter home
environment without children.

Cady often starts off a little cautious, but give her time and a cozy spot
to settle in and youll see her sweet and loving personality shine!

If you think Cady 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.
