Meet Ricco! This handsome 6 year old fella is a master of hunting down all of the best sniff spots while he’s out exploring in the world. Once he warms up to his people, he’s a mellow, sweet guy, and is sure to show you some of his hidden goofy side!

He might like to go home with a well-matched dog companion that can show him the ropes! Ricco has no history of living with cats, but could do well with slow intros and complete separation to start.

Meet Koko! This 102-pound floof settles well in her space, and will unleash her silly side when the mood strikes. She loves chasing toys around, and will never say no to a relaxing sniffy walk around the neighborhood. She may not be ready for pets right away, but will warm up with time if her adopters are diligent about reading her body language and allowing her to make her own choices during interactions. Koko can be selective about her canine friends, and though she could have some dog friends, she would prefer to be the only pet in the home. She has lived with kids before, but was a little nervous around their friends, so a low-traffic household would be ideal for her. If Koko sounds like a good match for you, come on in to meet her!

Meet Durango, a fun and outgoing guy who would make a great adventure buddy! He’s still working on his manners, and is looking for an adopter who’s excited to practice their training skills. He loves to learn, and has responded well to clicker training. Durango has a history of sleeping in the crate, and has made great strides in his housebreaking. He’s friendly with all people, and would thrive with an active human who can match his high energy. His favorite activities include long sniffy walks, chasing toys, and battling the hose. Once his needs have been met, Durango can settle down on his own with a strong chew toy or long-lasting chew. He has been selective in his dog friends at the shelter, so any other dogs in the home will need to come meet him here prior to adoption to ensure it’s a good match.
If you think Durango could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by Northeast Animal Shelter. 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.

Teddy is a sweet and shy little fella who is looking for a special home of his own. He came to us with limited information on his history, but he has been settling in at his own pace since coming to us. Teddy has been very nervous of new people and situations and will need his family to give him plenty of time and patience to settle into his new environment. Once he gets comfortable he loves to roll his favorite pink ball around the floor and lean into neck scratches from his favorite people. He has been housetrained here and he enjoys going for leisurely strolls during the day.
Harmony is a sweet little lady who is ready for a home of her own! She came to us from a situation where she had lots of dog friends, but didn’t have many new experiences so she can be a bit overwhelmed by new situations. Harmony has been settling in and coming out of her shell since being with us, she enjoys meeting new people and making low key dog friends. Harmony would likely do best in a home with a social dog friend to help her continue to build her confidence. She is looking for a family who can help her settle in at her own pace!
Meet Ella! This beautiful girl has a love for pets and plenty of energy to burn. During her time with us, Ella has enjoyed zooming around the yard, going for runs, and hanging around her favorite humans. She’s looking for a patient adopter who’s excited to brush up on their training skills, and prepared to help her decompress after she gets her energy out. She is very interested in chasing wildlife, and will require appropriate training/management to be successful on walks. That said, she is equally happy chasing leaves through the yard or playing tug with a rope toy! Ella struggles around other dogs, and would prefer to be the only dog in the home. She previously lived with a child, and was very friendly and loving. Her ideal home is one where someone is home most of the time – she will try to alert the neighbors when she can’t find her humans!

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 also undergoing treatment for heart worm. While he is on strict 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.
Because of his high energy and temporary limitations, Alex will need a patient and experienced home that can help him channel that zest for life into brain games, enrichment activities, and plenty of mental stimulation. He is working hard on being a good boy during recovery, and he is making great progress with structure and support.
When he has had his fill of mental fun and the zoomies are out of his system (at least in theory), Alex melts into a total cuddle bug. If you`re looking for a smart, spirited companion and you`re ready to help guide him through his healing journey, Alex just might be your perfect match.

Amelia Earhart loves sitting in the sun, lounging with her people, playing brain games, and long walks with dog friends- all perfect things to get started on with her new family this summer! The shelter is a rather stressful space for her, so her adopters should be committed to giving this lady ample time to decompress at home.

Precious is a sensitive soul who blossoms into a sweet and silly playmate once she feels comfortable. She loves to zoom around and play with squeaky toys, and she’s great at self-entertaining! Precious has already experienced a lot of transitions in her life, and it can take her some time to warm up to new people and stimuli. She’s looking for an adopter who will take the time to learn her body language and wait for her to decide she’s ready for pets. In the meantime, some great bonding activities include leisurely walks (she likes to smell ALL the smells!), structured playtime, and training sessions. Precious has met a few other dogs here at the shelter, and we’ve observed that she prefers a slow introduction, such as a parallel walk, prior to playtime. Her ideal playmate is polite and not too rowdy – she’d rather zoom around the yard together than crash and wrestle. Given a proper intro (at the shelter if possible!), Precious could live with a well-matched dog friend. Any children in the home should be able to participate in her training and follow petting consent guidelines.

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.
Meet Quina, a sweet and sensitive soul who loves sniffy walks and playtime. Quina has presented as worried with new people at the shelter, and might not be ready for pets right away — but slowly building her trust certainly pays off! Once comfortable, she’s affectionate and snuggly with her people, and loves a sniffy adventure. Quina likes to know her people are around — she has shown some separation stress in the home, and will require some flexibility with schedules to keep her feeling safe and secure. She does a great job settling by herself with a long-lasting chew, as long as she knows there’s someone nearby.

Shu is a sweet and affectionate dog who loves being around his people. He enjoys relaxing walks and is happiest when he gets attention and cuddle time.

Simmy is a sweet, playful pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. While he can be nervous and vocal when meeting new people or encountering unfamiliar sights and sounds, once he is your friend, Simmy becomes a total cuddle bug who loves to snuggle up with his people.
Because he tends to bark at new things from a distance, Simmy would thrive in a quieter environment outside of the busy city. He’ll benefit from continued positive reinforcement training to help build his confidence, especially on walks.
Simmy loves to play with other dogs and did great living with a canine friend in his previous home. He could also be a good fit for a family with kids who can help with his training and give him the patience and encouragement he needs to shine.
