Bash may be an older pup, but he’s still got lots of pep in his step! He has enjoyed going for sniffy walks around campus and can often be found romping around in the play yard!

Meet Chris, a gentle soul with a big heart who just needs a little extra time and patience to shine. While new people, environments, and sudden changes can be overwhelming for him, Chris thrives in the company of confident, well-mannered dogs and loves cuddling with those he trusts. He’s looking for a calm, low-traffic home with an experienced adopter who can help him feel safe, advocate for his needs, and allow him to set the pace. Chris may never be a social butterfly, and that’s okay—he’s happiest in a small, predictable world with people who truly understand him. With gradual introductions, a quiet space to decompress, and a consistent routine, Chris has the potential to blossom into a deeply loyal and loving companion.

Pool Party loves to play, and will need some sturdy chew toys if they’re going to last!

He’ll do great with patient humans who have a sense of humor and are unfazed by a strong, bouncy dog and his goofy antics. Pool Party could live with a well-matched dog, given proper management and separation to start.

Kermit is a bouncy and active guy who would make a great companion for someone who loves the great outdoors. His favorite things in life are sniffy walks, quality time with his favorite people, and above all, FOOD! This adorable man will look at you with those unique puppy dog eyes of his, and you’ll absolutely melt. Just beware – he will use his handsome face to bribe you for table scraps! We’re working on teaching him boundaries around food, which also means we don’t approach him when he’s eating. We want Kermit to know that he’s safe, and to learn that he can trust humans to feed him and let him eat in peace. This also helps build trust, which is important for Kermit as he can be worried around strangers. He may not want pets right away, but will make it clear when he’s ready (and he’s sooo soft!). In the meantime, he’ll benefit from a nice quiet spot in the home that’s all his own, where he can enjoy long-lasting chews undisturbed and snug with his favorite stuffies. While in our care Kermit has enjoyed hanging out with some other dogs, but he can be selective, so potential canine siblings should come meet him at the shelter before he goes home.

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Kermit. 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.

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 Miss Piggy! This girl has been in our shelter for quite some time, and while it’s disheartening for us, it’s a real benefit to you! If we’re honest, she was a bit of a handful when she came into our care over a year ago – and a bit misunderstood. This sensitive soul hadn’t experienced much of the real world, so a lot of everyday things were pretty overwhelming.

That’s no longer the case. During her year-long shelter stay, Miss Piggy started to learn what life is all about at a pace that was comfortable for her. She had slumber parties with staff members, went on field trips to Home Depot multiple times (you always have to make a second trip…), and spent many hours attending staff meetings learning how to be the best administrative assistant she could be – all while bringing HUGE smiles to every person fortunate enough to spend time with her.

Most recently, Miss Piggy has been in a foster home for several weeks, and it’s been so rewarding to see everything she’s learned in the shelter translate to a home, where she’s been an excellent companion. She’s cuddly, settled right into a routine, and is curious and confident when she’s out and about. This gal is really ready for bigger and better things – the shelter isn’t meant to be her home forever.

If you have a quieter home, are always rooting for the underdog, and would like the cutest morning snuggles – Miss Piggy is the family member for you. Come meet her today and just try to keep a smile off your face – it’s not possible in her company.

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Miss Piggy. 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.

Calling all canine enthusiasts! This is Nova, a sweet and sensitive 1 year old pup that is on the hunt for her new home. A true snack connoisseur, she’s ready to train with her adopters using positive reinforcement methods to continue working on her manners and confidence. She would love to go home with a mellow, well-matched dog companion to help show her the ropes – and all the good sniff spots along the way!

Nova lived in a bubble in her previous home, where she wasn’t interacting with a lot of new people or busy environments. She’ll likely do best with adopters that live in a quieter spot, where she can set her own pace for her progress. Nova has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once she feels secure, she’s sure to reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Nova. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Once comfortable, she loves asking for pets from her favorite people.

Gilligan is a sweet, sensitive pup with a heart full of love and a whole lot of energy once he’s comfortable. At first, he can be a little unsure around new people — strangers make him nervous — but with a little time, patience, and kindness, he opens up into a goofy, playful companion.

Once Gilligan trusts you, his personality really shines! He’s energetic, curious, and always ready for fun. He’s currently working hard on his manners and would thrive with someone who can continue guiding him with consistent, positive reinforcement.

Gilligan would do best in a calm, structured home with patient adopters. If you’re looking for a loyal dog who will reward your patience with a lifetime of tail wags and love, Gilligan might just be your guy!

Meet Alex a lively, lovable pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Alex is currently on the road to recovery after TPLO surgery and is recovering from heartworm treatment. While he is on activity restriction for now, do not let that fool you, this boy has energy to spare and a playful spirit thats just waiting to shine once he has healed.
