If you haven`t yet met Wendy- you`re missing out! Ms. Wendy is a 5 year old pit bull great dane mix who is our resident social butterfly at the Methuen shelter! Wendy loves all people and has been doing a GREAT job practicing her best manners. Wendy is housebroken, polite, and smart and is looking for a cozy spot to call home.

Since Wendy is a big lady, she is looking for adopters who are willing and ready to continue her training. Wendy has been doing great with her positive reinforcement training since arriving to the shelter. During her stay, she`s been working on walking on a loose leash on a harness, disengaging from other animals in the environment (as she has a strong desire for rabbits (: ), and mastering some other special cues like `sit` `lay down` and `drop it`. Wendy also loves to bounce around a yard space with her volunteer friends and entertain herself with some low-key play time. After Wendy`s had the chance to get some of her energy out, she is also a master snuggler, and is sure to win your heart over if you meet her!

While Wendy has been able to successfully navigate a world with lots of dogs, she would likely do best as the only dog in the home. She has the potential to live with another dog, however it would require much more management and that dog would need to be more tolerant of her big and bossy play-style. Wendy has a high prey drive so unfortunately she isn`t a candidate to live with a cat or other small mammal. Wendy has the potential to live with kids, however she is a big gal still working on her manners, so bigger teens may be best!

If you are interested in Wendy, please stop by our Methuen Adoption Center between the hours of 12PM-3PM Tuesday-Sunday!

Rilee is a happy girl that loves to give kisses to her favorite people and now that she`s comfortable, she wiggles her way through the halls of the shelter to say hi to everyone she meets. She loves to entertain her friends with her silly antics when she`s playing with toys. This good girl is house and crate trained! Because Rilee has been through many changes in a short time, her adopters should plan on giving her plenty of time with just household members before slowly expanding her world. This time gives her an opportunity to bond with her family, while they learn what makes her comfortable.

She has not had much experience meeting new dogs and while she may eventually be able to have a walking buddy, she is not a candidate for daycare or dog parks. Rilee would likely be most comfortable as the only dog in the home and politely declines the company of cats. She could potentially go home with older kids.

To learn about this pretty pittie lady, stop by the shelter during open hours to talk to staff Tuesday-Sunday 12-3p

This happy guy is as smart as he is handsome! He knows sit, down, and speak, and walks nicely on the leash. Georgie seems to enjoy the company of humans more than canine friends, and we think he would do best as the only dog in the home. He loves working on his tricks, playing with toys, and getting pets from his people.

You`d be hard pressed to find a dog with a bigger smile than this guy, when he`s with his humans. Any kids in the family should be old enough to respect his needs as he adjusts to his new home. If you are looking for a great walking and cuddling partner, Georgie is your man! He is a volunteer favorite!
Come and meet him today! Open hours at our Cape location are Tuesday-Sunday 1-4pm.

Smart, sweet and cute are all fitting words to describe Ms. Skylar! Skylar is a one year old pit bull mix ready to find her home! While Skylar is happy to lay down and entertain herself with some stuffy toys, she is also a young active dog who is ready to bring the party! Skylar is looking for adopters who are willing to put a little extra effort getting her started with some of the basics a young dog may require like training, settling into a new space, and navigating the world, and will benefit from people willing to keep her world small to start. Adopters should be prepared for Skylar to show her more active side as she gets comfortable and settles in.

While Skylar is likely capable of having some well-matched dog friends, another dog in the home would need to be accepting of a high energy young dog who can be a bit awkward. At this time, Skylar is not looking to live with cats or younger kids.

If Skylar sounds like a match for you, feel free to stop by our Methuen Adoption Center between the hours of 12PM-3PM Tuesday-Sunday!

His one-man fetch game is unmatched, although he might make his own fun without a little bit of puppy proofing and providing some toys and chewies for him to work on at home.

Meet 1 year old lab/hound mix Daryl! Daryl was brought to us through our relocation program, so we don`t have too much history as to what his life was like prior to him coming to our shelter. However, he has spent a short period of time in a home setting where we learned he has some of the makings of house-training, and he loves to entertain himself with toys! As you might guess from his picture, Daryl is going to be a high energy dog who will require lots of work on basic manners and leash walking skills, so adopters should be ready (and excited!) for a dog that will require lots of mental and physical activity, in addition to some training.

Daryl has the potential to join a home with a similarly matched dog friend, but will likely require a slow introduction to start! Daryl is not looking for a home with cats or kids at this time as he`s still working on mastering being his best good-boy self.

If you are interested in adopting this young boy who is excited about life, feel free to stop by our Methuen Adoption Center between the hours of 12PM-3PM Tuesday-Sunday

Roxy is a beautiful 6 year old pit bull. This sweet lady is ready to find her forever home. If youre looking for a perfect size dog who is a couch potato, Roxy is your girl! Although she is a couch potato, she does have her playful moments. She is pretty trainy and walks perfectly on a leash. She loves her slow paced, sniffy walks. While in the future she might enjoy some well-mannered walking pals, at this time Roxy would like to be the only gal in your home! Roxy also says no thank you to cats in the home.

Roxy does have past history with living with older children and would need to go to a home with older children who can read and understand her body language. Roxy is a classic pittie gal with some painful skin, so her adopter will need to be prepared to have a close relationship with their veterinarian!

If youd like more information on this pretty girl, please stop by the shelter during open hours to talk to staff. Tuesday-Sunday 12-3p

Wiggles, happy smiles and lots of fun when you welcome Beverly into your home! Beverly is just a year old and she traveled up from the south to find her forever family. This little lady has been through quite a few changes in a short time, so her adopters should give her plenty of time to settle in with just household members while everyone gets acquainted. It`s always best to `puppy proof` the home including a safe confinement area where she can relax when needed.

She may be able to join a home with a well matched resident dog or a dog savvy cat. Any kids in the family should be older as Beverly still gets very excited and can be a bit jumpy.

Are you looking for a young, active, adventure buddy? 1 year old Blue is looking and waiting for a companion who is willing to give him all the love and attention that he deserves! Blue is a dog who has experienced some separation related distress in his previous home, so he is looking for adopters who are committed to having a lifestyle that is able to best help set him up for success.

Blue is a young boy and is still learning some of the basics of manners, and does really great with a positive reinforcement approach! Blue is a dog who would do best as the only pet in the home, and with older, sturdier teens who have a good grasp on dog body language.

If Blue sounds like a fit for your home, please visit our Methuen Adoption Center Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-3PM!

Meet our smushy and sweet girl Nelly! Nelly is a 5 year old dog who is energetic, smart, and loves her people! While she requires a little bit of time to get lovey with her new family, once she knows you she is sweet as a peach. Nelly is looking for adopters who are willing to give her adult-self adequate time and space to fully transition into her new home, as she`s been through a lot of change in a pretty short period of time. This means respecting her boundaries, and taking it slow while she gets to know everyone in the home.

Bonus: Nelly appears to be house-trained already, but adopters should understand that in a new setting it might take her some time to always make the mark! Nelly is currently looking to go to a home where she is the only pet, but has the potential to live in a neighborhood that has dogs in it- so long as her people are diligent in how they go about doing introductions! Nelly has no known experience living with kids, but could likely do well with teens who are able to read dog body language and give her space while she settles in.

If Nelly sounds like a fit for your home, feel free to stop by our Methuen Adoption Center 12PM-3PM Tuesday-Sunday!

Meet Charlie! He is a bundle of energy, always ready to play, explore and enjoy everything life has to offer. At just a year old, Charlie still has a lot to learn, but will make an amazing companion to anyone looking for an active furry friend. While Charlie is excellent with people and other dogs, he gets too excited at times, resulting in jumping up and getting too rowdy. Charlie needs a patient and dedicated adopter who will help him learn new skills and manage his environment to help him be the best dog he can be. He could live with a tolerant, adult role-model dog to show him the ropes. Kids who are old enough to participate in training could be a good fit!

If you are looking for an energetic and social pup to become your new best friend, Charlie might be the one for you! Stop by our open hours and see if you are the right match for each other.

Meet Snowky! This fluffy-haired beauty can`t wait to start his next chapter. While he`s made some really great friends at the shelter, he`s a sensitive guy who is not well-suited for shelter life. Snowky has had 8 years of practice being the best boy, and is looking for a quiet, predictable lifestyle. He can be a bit reserved when first making new friends, but when he`s allowed to set the pace it doesn`t take long for him to show you his silly, chatty side. He`s looking for an adopter excited about helping him feel more comfortable with the regular grooming his beautiful coat requires. Snowky may do well living with another mellow dog or cat, and may also enjoy older kids who can support him through a slow transition into his new family.

Meet 1 year old Fred! He is young, energetic and playful — and did you know he loves tennis balls? He is a great loose-leash walker and can be very silly outside. Fred is quite an athletic dog, and an adopter that is excited for a high energy dog would be ideal! Sometimes this big ole’ boy gets worried, so his adopters should be prepared to take introductions to new dogs and people slowly. During his time at Nevins Farm, Fred has enjoyed spending time around other active dogs, and has the potential to live with a similarly matched dog or someday join on walks with dog friends. Currently, Fred would likely be most comfortable in an adult only home and politely declines living with a cat. We are looking for an adopter that can continue Fred’s training so that he can mature into the bestest boy.

Meet 2 year old husky/malamute mix Lilly! Lilly is an active, friendly, and loving girl who is looking for some pretty special adopters and has had a tough time in the kennel environment. Lilly has a sensitive soul and is looking for a home that is willing to put some extra time and effort into helping her learn all about how to be a confident, happy gal! While Lilly loves attention from her people, she has been through quite a few changes in her more recent life, so it will be a must that adopters can be patient with her. Adoption counselors would be happy to share information about how to transition her home, work on some of the training basics, and get her started learning some special cooperative care skills for vet-care!

While she certainly could have some walking buddies in her future, at this time Lilly is looking to be the main priority in your life, and would like to be a solo dog. Lilly has previously spent time with teens, and has the potential to live with kids who are able to read dog body language and be ready for this high energy girl!
