Meet Tessa! Tessa has been in a foster home for several weeks, and frankly… no notes. She’s apt to go with the flow. Couch time? She’s in. You’re in meetings? She can take a hint and go do her own thing. She’s gotta go potty? She’ll wait til you’re ready to go outside. Tessa settled into a home routine like no other – name another shelter dog who hasn’t even needed a crate.
Every now and then she’ll slip up and show a crack in her perfect exterior by barking at a rabbit, squirrel, or another dog. But to be honest, if she didn’t, we’d be worried that she isn’t even real. What kind of dog DOESN’T know that squirrels are monsters disguised in small furry bodies? Fake dogs, that’s who. Tessa would prefer a quiet neighborhood, where she won’t see many other dogs on walks. She could live with another dog if it’s a good match, but they’ll need to come meet her at the shelter prior to adoption.
If you’re looking for a pup who is just a flat out good companion, but who will keep you on your toes JUST enough to remind you that you’re taking care of a living being, come meet Tessa. She’ll bring endless joy to your life!
This pretty girl is Africa. Africa is a lovely dog who is sweet and friendly once she knows you. Not only is she crate trained, she really enjoys relaxing in her crate. She is house trained and has successfully lived with cats and kids. I hope you have sneakers because this girl loves her long sniffy walks. She sounds perfect, doesnt she? In her previous home, Africa was affectionate and snuggly. Here at the shelter, she seems a bit uncomfortable with close handling. She is hoping her new family will give her some time and space to settle into her new home. Africa has also lived with two dogs previously. One dog she was absolutely best friends with, while the other, they did not always get along. So, Africa could probably live with a well matched dog friend. Do you think Africa could be the dog for your family?

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 Travis, a playful little hound who will always keep you on your toes! This brave man had a pretty rough start – he spent the first 4 years of his life in a crate, with minimal human contact. As a result, he consistently shies away from human touch, and is looking for a very special adopter who will not push his boundaries. Travis may never want pets, and that’s okay! He will still romp around the yard with his human friends, and loves to give you the third degree (AKA, sniff your entire body). Once comfortable in a space, his mischievous hound side starts to show, so he’ll need continued training to learn manners in a home – nobody ever taught him the rules! Travis opens up more quickly with dog friends to play with, but can be pushy, and struggles to understand corrections. For this reason, he’ll require some management in a home with another dog, and we recommend they meet at the shelter before adoption. Are you ready to open your home to a little weirdo who will make you laugh every day, and teach you the value of dog friendship beyond snugs and scritches? Come meet Travis at Northeast Animal Shelter!
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Travis. 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.

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.
