Capper is a very sweet, sensitive soul who is waiting for just the right adopter! The first three years of his life are a mystery and right now, everything new is pretty frightening to him. Capper will need someone that is dedicated to letting him show them what makes him feel comfortable and safe. Happiness for him may mean he just wants to stay in his own home and yard and not venture out into the big world. Life with this very deserving guy will be like reading a mystery book, where each new page reveals a little more information as to what's going to happen. A big dose of patience and gentle guidance will be required as he learns appropriate house manners. Capper has shown that he feels more comfortable around other dogs, so a confident, but not pushy dog buddy in his new home would be very helpful. He politely declines the company of any felines. Older kids that will be very understanding of the importance of giving Capper time and space to transition into his new life, will be considered. Nothing is cuter than seeing this big guy curled up and relaxing in the office of his favorite staff person. If you think that you could be his person and would like more information please fill out the adoption inquiry form provided in the link below.

Like all puppies, this little guy is a work in progress. Jasper is full of energy, loves to play and has discovered that fetch is the best game ever! Along with playfulness, comes mouthiness and Jasper is working hard learning polite manners, which his adopters will need to continue helping him with. Because he can be uncomfortable with some close handling, his new family will need to exercise patience and wait for Jasper to signal that he would like to be pet and not push him if he's not ready. A puppy proofed home, is of course, necessary to provide a safe environment for this cutie. Young dogs benefit greatly by having a place where they can go to relax and unwind, such as a crate or a puppy safe room. Jasper is a quick learner and enjoys food puzzles and toys to pass the time. He is working on house training, but may still have accidents, especially transitioning to a new home. As you can see patience is a key factor in all things puppy, but you can expect some level of frustration too. The shelter staff is an excellent resource and will help adopters tweak training plans as needed to help Jasper be successful. A confident, puppy savvy resident dog may be helpful at showing Jasper the ropes in his new home. Although he may be okay with a dog savvy cat, this will likely add on another area of management for the adopters. Older teens who are willing to participate in his training and are familiar with dog body language, are okay. Lots of work, lots of fun, lots of love, that's life with a puppy and the end result is a wonderful adult dog that will be a treasured member of the family. If you are interested in this little guy please fill out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

Puppy time means fun, training and lots of patience. Millie is a very playful, energetic, affectionate young girl who adores playing with toys! She is making great progress with house training and crate training, but will of course still need a consistent schedule in her new home. Like most puppies, she is eager to learn and loves positive reinforcement training. Unlike most puppies, Millie was very fearful when she first arrived at the shelter. She has made great progress, but will need adopters who will continue to allow her to go at her own pace for close handling and meeting new people, without pushing her from her comfort zone. Millie needs to be the only pet in her new home, allowing her to shine bright as the superstar adult she will become. Teens that can recognize and respect her signals for space and time as she settles in, will be considered. If you're ready for lots of snuggles, fun and some puppy mayhem, please fill out the adoption inquiry form provided in the link below.

As you can see by that big grin, this guy is ready for FUN! Zman is just 11 months old and currently weighs about 37 pounds. He loves to play and wiggle waggle when he wants to say hello! Like most young dogs, Zman requires daily physical energy and mental stimulation to keep him happy and out of mischief. Long walks or hikes and then some puzzle toys help to check off both of those needs. He can be quite exuberant when excited, so he will need to continue fine tuning his good manners in his new home. Since his play style with other dogs is not one that all of them enjoy, he will not be a candidate for daycare or dog park settings. He can, however, possibly live with another dog that is tolerant of his type of play and has a similar energy level. No cats in the home, please. Older kids that are comfortable with dogs and their sometimes bouncy behaviors, will be considered. If this extremely handsome and very sweet guy seems like the one you've been waiting for, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form in the link below.

This gentle girl has the prettiest eyes and beautiful cinnamon freckles scattered in her fur. Willow is 2 years old and weighs 55 pounds. Her past is unknown, but we do know that stuffies with squeakers are one of her favorite toys and she enjoys exploring while walking. She is uncomfortable with some close handling, which means her adopters should be able to learn her signals for this and be prepared to help her when needed. Willow may be able to live with a smaller, mellow dog, but will not be a candidate for dog parks or daycare as she is very worried about new dogs. She should be able to live with a cat as long as appropriate introductions are well managed. Respectful older kids that understand that Willow will need time and her own space as she acclimates to her new home, will be considered. If this sweet beauty is tugging at your heartstrings, please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form provided in the link below.

As you can see by his photo, this handsome boy has quite the personality! Bentley is just a year old and he has his very own to do list! First, he is working on learning great manners and has shown everyone how smart and enthusiastic he is. Second on his list is making sure he has lots of playtime to burn off his youthful energy so he can focus on his training. The third most important item to be checked off, is finding just the right adopter who is enthusiastic about helping Bentley continue his journey towards being the best boy. Once he is all played out, you may just find you have a 56 pound snuggly boy on your lap. Bentley will certainly enjoy having appropriate dog friends for playtime, but for now, he should be the only resident dog in the home in order for him to be able to concentrate on settling in and maturing into a well mannered adult. The same applies for future cat friends. Teens that are willing to participate in his training will be considered. The staff is very committed to helping his adopters have great success with this sweet, happy boy and will be available to provide support and tweaking of training plans if needed. If you think you may be a good fit for Bentley, please click on the link below to fill out an adoption inquiry.

Mellow is a sweet, shy, stripey puppy who is looking for his next family. He was pretty worried when he arrived in Methuen, so he has been spending some time learning about being brave in his foster home. When he’s not feeling so shy, this guy is a typical rambunctious pup. He would do best in a home with a family willing to take things slow, and another confident dog to continue showing him how to dog. If you’re interested in learning more about what Mellow is looking for, please follow the link to inquire!

This little guy is quite the little clown once he is comfortable and happily wiggles down the hill on his back or zooms around in circles. Romo is five years old and will need an adult only home that is very quiet with a very predictable routine to make him feel safe and secure. He has perfect house manners, is crate trained and enjoys leisurely walks where he can take in all the wonderful scents of nature. Romo has enjoyed the company of other small, mellow dog friends at the shelter so a resident dog that is well matched, should be fine. He would also most likely be fine with a cat friend as long as appropriate introductions are done. As mentioned before, Romo must live in an adult only home that does not have visiting children. If you need a devoted little companion in your life, Romo is ready to fill that need. Please start by filling out the adoption inquiry form provided in the link below.

This adorable little girl loves squeaky toys, food puzzles and learning new things. Molly is working hard learning that those sharp puppy teeth are to be used on toys only and her adopters will need to continue guiding her towards success. Although she is cuddly with people she knows, she can be conflicted about meeting new people so again, her family will need to advocate for her and never push her beyond her comfort zone. All this puppy stuff takes time and endless patience, but the reward is a wonderfully happy, loving adult dog that brings joy to their family for years! Molly would benefit from a confident, tolerant resident dog to help show her the ropes. This dog will definitely need to be okay with puppy play shenanigans. Older kids who can consistently follow directions and be respectful of Molly's needs, will be considered. If you think you're up for training, cuddles and puppy kisses, please fill out the adoption inquiry form provided in the link below.

Handsome, very intelligent and sweet, that's Winter. He is 6 years old and weighs about 45 pounds. Because he is a smart boy, he will enjoy exercising his mind with fun things like food puzzles and positive reinforcement training. Winter can be nervous meeting new people and his adopter will need to be his advocate to make sure introductions are slow and according to his comfort level. Since he can be worried meeting new dogs, he is not a candidate for dog parks or daycare. However, with slow introductions, Winter would most likely enjoy a consistent dog friend to play with outside the home. He has not lived with cats. Older teens that are familiar with dog behaviors and understanding of Winters needs will be considered. This good boy is waiting to start his new life with a loving family.

Say hello to Shay! Shay is a 2 year old shepherd mix who was transferred to us from St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center. She's quite the smart cookie and loves to play! She knows a few commands like sit, down, and paw and has been picking up on some other things too. She's also a pretty good soccer player!

During her stay with us, Shay has shown that she feels safe with her core group of people but is uncomfortable when new people approach her kennel. Because of this, we are looking for an experienced, low traffic, adult only home in a quiet neighborhood. City and apartment life would be a bit too much for her! She will need a slow transition into new environments with strangers and will need someone who is knowledgeable in body language. She has also shown discomfort around other animals, so she is looking to be the only pet in the home.

If you're interested in learning more about Shay, please fill out an inquiry form using the "inquire" button above. Given the high volume of inquires that we receive, please leave a detailed response about your home, lifestyle and how you would manage Shay's needs.
