Meet Loki! Loki is a bit reserved at first, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Loki loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors. Loki has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once he feels secure, he`ll reward you with endless love and silly pittie noises!
If you think Loki could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Nevins Farm Adoption Center in Methuen. We have open adoption hours Tuesday – Sunday from 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm with no appointment or application needed.

Such a good looking dog, right? Say hello to pretty Diya. This is a sweet lady who can be worried in new situations. She is looking for an adopter who can give her a quiet predictable space to decompress. Once she is comfortable, Diya is cuddly and actually rather silly. This girl loves her toys! Diya really enjoys taking walks with her dog friends and could possibly even live with another dog. We dont know what she thinks about cats or kids. She could probably live with either using some management. Diya will need some work with learning how to settle on her own. She has made great progress here at the shelter, and is hoping her new family will continue to help her. Does this pretty girl sound like the dog for you? Diya hopes so!

Meet Kingston a distinguished older gentleman with just the right amount of gray on his muzzle and a twinkle of mischief still in his eye. Do not let his age fool you Kingston may be a senior, but he has still got plenty of pep in his step and a love for life that shines through in every wag of his tail. He is currently brushing up on his manners and would thrive with a patient, experienced human who appreciates the charm of a seasoned companion. Kingston has a history of living with a ct, however he can be a bit particular about his canine company, so he`s best suited to a home where he can pick his friends wisely and at his own pace.
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!
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Tessa. 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.
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Teddy. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - 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.
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.

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.
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, 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, this squishy guy just might be your perfect match.

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!

Meet Pool Party! He’s a playful, energetic guy who would make a great adventure buddy for an active adopter who loves the great outdoors! Pool Party loves to play, and will need some sturdy chew toys if they’re going to last! He’s friendly and very excitable around people, so he’s looking for a home where he can continue learning his manners with positive reinforcement training. 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. Any children in the home should be comfortable with a jumpy dog and able to participate in his training.

Introducing Odi! This handsome guy came to us from a home where he was living a bit of a sheltered life. He spent a lot of his time outdoors and was described as being energetic and boisterous. The shelter life has been stressful for him, and we’re hoping to find a patient adopter for Odi who is ready to meet him where he’s at, while using rewards-based training to help him learn the expectations of living in a new home. If a big dog is what you’re looking for (120 lbs, in fact!), Odi might be just the guy for you!

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.

Echo is a cute little puppy with lots of energy. And smarts! After just a day or two of practice, this good boy is getting the hang of wearing a collar and walking on a leash. Though that may not sound like much to you, it really is a big deal. This silly boy is looking for a family that will help him continue his training so he can become his best self. There is so much Echo still needs to learn. Things like potty training, politely greeting friends or coming when called. Having a puppy is a lot of work. It is also a lot of love and laughs and sloppy puppy kisses. Does this sweet little puppy sound like the right dog for your family? Would you like to meet Echo? Visit the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in Methuen Tuesday to Sunday 12 to 4:30 PM.

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 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.
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Chris. 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.

Meet Petey Pruppet, an energetic little shortstack who may need some time to warm up, but will gladly be your snuggle buddy once he’s comfortable! Petey is still working on his manners, and will thrive with adopters who can read his body language and manage accordingly. He loves squeaky toys and time with his favorite people, and would prefer a home that doesn’t get a lot of visitors – new people can be scary! Petey can have dog friends, but will need a slow and well-managed intro to ensure it’s a good match. Potential dog siblings should come meet him at the shelter before he goes home. If you like the sound of a project dog who will look at you like you’re his entire world, Petey just might be your guy!
