Bailey is a charming 7 year old sheepdog looking for a new home! This laid-back guy is all about the slow strolls and cozy naps, making him the perfect companion for a relaxed household. Though he’s a bit of a couch potato, he’s also incredibly sweet and gentle. Bailey does have some health issues that come with his age, but he’s still got a lot of love to give! He’d love to go home with adopters that are excited to help this sweet guy continue working on some of his manners, like asking politely when he wants attention instead of barking. He might be able to live with a mellow cat or dog companion with a slow introduction.
Meet Bambi! This fun loving, pint-sized girl came to us on a transport from a shelter out of state so we don’t know much about her history. What we have found is that she loves to play with her toys and is super snuggly once her needs have been met. We know that she would do best with an adopter who can provide her with some structure and a gentle approach to training while she catches up on her manners.
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to learn more about this silly girl!

Meet Chloe! This girly might be shy at first, but quickly blossoms into a friendly and playful buddy. She spent some time in a foster home before joining us at the MSPCA, where she enjoyed hanging out with her people and playing with toys of all kinds (stuffies beware – she’s a shredder!). She’ll happily settle down with some strong toys, or a frozen Kong filled with peanut butter. She’ll thrive with an adopter who’s excited about training using positive reinforcement, and able to manage some frustration while they workshop her space.
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Chloe. 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 Bowser! He may share a name with Mario’s toughest boss, but this Bowser is more of a gentle side-quest than a final battle.

Meet River! Their favorite things are playing with dog and human friends and treats. River 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. River loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for an active family. River has enjoyed spending time around other dogs at the shelter, so we think they may do well with a canine sibling that is comfortable with a friend.
River has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once they feel secure, theyll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Come meet this sweet girl and find your new best friend!
Meet Maggie! This sweet and sensitive soul lived in a bubble in her previous home, meaning she wasn’t meeting a lot of new people or other animals. As a result, new environments and experiences can sometimes be scary! Maggie can be a slow burn while she’s first settling in, but once she’s comfortable, she has a lot of love to give (and likes to stomp her back feet when you pet her!). Maggie enjoys a good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settle in at the end of the day for some quality couch time, or to work on her toys. She will likely do best in a lower-traffic home, where she can adjust at her own pace.
Maggie lived with a mellow small dog at one point, but doesn’t have a lot of practice meeting new dogs, and has been worried and avoidant when interacting with dogs while in our care. She might be able to go home with a well-matched dog friend with separation to start. She has no history living with cats.
Maggie has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once she feels secure, she’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Meet Jade, a charming older gal looking for that special someone to be the center of her world. Jade is a busy lady who would thrive in a quiet environment with a consistent routine and a family who is ready to make adjustments as she continues to settle in. She lived with children in her previous home, but was worried or overwhelmed when there was too much commotion, so she would do best in a lower-traffic home–if there are kids in the home, they should be able to follow her management plan.
Jade can be a tad worried when meeting new people, but once she warms up, she is falling into your lap wanting endless pets. She says no thank you to living with dogs right now, please! Jade was reportedly scared of the cat in the previous home, so would prefer any cats in the home to be mellow and tolerant, and would need full separation onto start.
Miss Jade has a history of bladder stones, so is currently on a prescription diet. Adopters should plan to establish regular care with a vet to ensure that she’s feeling her best.
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Jade. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
This good looking boy is Coco. He is a silly sweet young man who loves hanging out with his friends. Coco enjoys going on walks, playing with toys and romping in the snow. His favorite pastime is to play with other dogs. The thing is, Coco can be nervous with new people, places or routines. He is so much braver when he has a dog buddy. It is actually recommended that Coco go home to live with a mature role model dog. Possibly, this sweet boy could also live with a cat starting with complete separation. And children who can respect a shy dog might also work. Coco has been working hard on his manners here at the shelter and would love to continue. He is also hoping that his adopters will keep his world small and safe as he acclimates to his new life. Coco is a really nice dog looking for a family of his own. Does he sound like the dog for you?

Some may say that the prettiest dog at the shelter right now is our girl Mabel. And they would not be wrong! Mabel is a beautiful young lab that is the perfect size. She is dainty and delicate with her people. She is crate trained and really enjoys being in her space. This poor baby girl came from a not great situation where she did not have much chance to learn about many normal dog things. Now she can be fearful and nervous. She will need patient adopters who will keep her world small and safe and give her time to become her best self. Mabel could possibly live with a mature helper dog who can give her some confidence and show her the wonders of being a dog. She could possibly live with a dog-savvy cat. Or maybe live with children who can respect a shy dog. Do you think this sweet girl is for you? Come say hello to Mabel.

Cady is a smart, shy, sweet girl who loves long walks with her favorite people! She is very food-motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement training. She has enjoyed spending time around other mellow dogs at the shelter, so we think she could do well with a canine sibling that is comfortable with a more calm friend, or she`d be happy being your one-and-only dog. Cady will do best in a low-traffic, quieter home environment without children.
Cady often starts off a little cautious, but give her time and a cozy spot to settle in and youll see her sweet and loving personality shine!

Introducing Sammi! Sammi is a big boy with a big heart, yet he still has a lot of learning and training to do. Known for his exuberant greetings, Sammi tends to jump on people out of excitement (which can be alarming when the dog weighs roughly 90 lbs!). Sammi can be easily worried or overwhelmed by changes in his environment, and is in need of an adopter who can provide him with the necessary training and patience to help him become the best version of himself. He is working on his leash manners, but he is very strong and needs an adopter who is able to handle a large breed dog who pulls. His jumping behavior will need to be diligently addressed through training and positive reinforcement. Sammi will benefit from ongoing obedience training to help him channel his energy in a constructive way. Patience and consistency are key when it comes to helping Sammi learn and grow into a well-mannered and balanced dog.
If you have experience with large and strong dogs and can offer Sammi the structured and loving home he needs, stop by the shelter during open hours to inquire about him today.

Meet Remy! Remy is a fun-loving ball of energy who’s ready to find her forever home! She absolutely loves playing fetch and would happily spend her days chasing a ball and then curling up for cuddles with her favorite people. Like many dogs adjusting to something new, Remy may need a little time to decompress and settle into her new surroundings. Once she feels comfortable, her playful and affectionate personality really shines. She’s still learning the ropes and working on her manners, so she’ll do best with a patient family who can help guide her and continue her training.

Meet Bugle! As his name suggests, this little man has a voice, and he’s not afraid to use it! Bugle is famous for baying while he walks, and is looking for a home with a good sense of humor (and minimal neighbors). In classic hound fashion, Bugle loves a long sniffy walk through nature, and enjoys working for his food – think treat puzzles, frozen slow feeders, and Kongs for days! He’s a playful and active guy who is surprisingly eager to settle down for a snuggle session after getting some energy out.
