Pepper and Nole are a pair of curious birds who are looking to find a home together. They have not had the most socialization with people, which can lead to them being a bit nippy when hands get too close. Nole and Pepper enjoy watching tv and listening to music together. They have been in the same room with other birds, but haven’t lived in the same enclosure as other birds. This pretty pair is looking for a patient family who can help them settle in at their own pace.

Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Pepper. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Many housing units sold in pet stores are too small for the behavioral needs of a bird. If you looking to purchase housing, visit our web page for recommendations on the best housing for birds.

Meet Cookie! This sweet, sensitive girl is looking for a quiet and understanding home to call her own. She came to us when her family’s landlord stopped allowing pets, after they raised her from a puppy. Cookie has a history of house training, loves to snuggle up to her people, and easily self-entertains with toys. Once she feels safe, she truly believes she is a lap dog.

Cookie is shy, and can be fearful with new people and in new environments. When uncomfortable, she may try to avoid interaction or communicate that she needs space. She’s looking for a patient adopter who understands dog body language and can read her in these moments, advocate for her needs, and help her feel safe and comfortable as she settles in. Cookie has shown that she is uncomfortable around other dogs, and would prefer to be the only dog in the home. She’ll need an adopter who is committed to avoiding dog-heavy environments and can provide leash walks in quiet areas or access to private, fenced-in spaces. A nice quiet neighborhood will be best for her comfort.

Cookie has a history of living with a cat, and could be successful again with slow, thoughtful introductions. She may do well in a home with kids who can help provide structure and training support as she continues to learn, and who understand to let her approach and interact on her terms. With time, consistency, and positive reinforcement, Cookie will be a deeply loving, affectionate companion. She is searching for a calm home, a predictable routine, and someone who is ready to meet her where she is, and earn her trust one gentle step at a time.

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Cookie. 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.

Blueberry is a younger female rabbit who can be shy at first, but once comfortable can be social and friendly. She is litter box trained, and has a good history living with older kids (teens). She will prefer to live in a quieter home, possibly with a well matched rabbit companion. She does have a history of chewing on everything around, and will benefit from a rabbit proofed space and lots of appropriate chewing enrichment.

We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows a rabbit to stretch their legs and move around. The needs of each rabbit are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rabbit you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice

This rat is part of a large surrender so we have less individual information about them. The group of females have a good history living with other females, and are social with people. They tolerate handling, but may still benefit from additional socialization, and an adopter that understands it may take them some time to warm up to their new home and the people in it. These rats will need to go home in pairs (or more) or to a home with existing female rats to have as companion.

Rats are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! Due to the highly social nature of rats we prefer to match them with homes with existing rats, or to adopters looking to take home two or more rats. Rats can be food driven (and great foragers!) making them excellent animals to train. We always recommend the use of positive reinforcement training with your animals, and are happy to provide more information on this topic.

We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows the rat plenty of space to exercise. The minimum cage size should be 2’x2.5’x2’, with good ventilation (no glass enclosures) and must have a solid base. Preferably the shelter includes multiple levels, with appropriate use of linens or paper bedding and lots of rat appropriate toys. Rats should never be housed with other animals, each species should always have its own housing.

The needs of each rat are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rat you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

* If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, or if you just want to browse in person feel free to stop by during our open hours.

Meet Reba! Their favorite things are people and treats. Reba is a happy, bouncy, and super wiggly pup, looking for a family to bring endless joy!

Annie is a lovely lady who cant wait to meet you. Annie has a sweet
disposition and loves her stuffy toys! She can have a lot to say at times
and is looking for someone who wants to continue her training. She is
housetrained and will polish up her skills at her new home. She is also
looking for a comfy spot to decompress and get used to a new routine. She
could possibly live with another dog since she has in the past. Annie would
require a thoughtful introduction. She has lived with teenagers before and
could possibly live with children who can understand her body language and
interact with her respectfully. She has lived with a cat in the past and
could do so again given a thoughtful introduction.

If you think Annie 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.

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

Shelter life has been a little overwhelming, so Phineas has been coping the only way he knows how…snacking his way through it.
Stress? Snack.
Bored? Snack.
Someone walked by? Probably snack.

He’s looking for a calm, patient home where he can finally relax (and maybe discover hobbies that aren’t food-related).
Phineas prefers to initiate affection—he’s a consent is key kind of guy—and will do best with adopters who can read his cues and give him space when he needs it.

With time, understanding, and a steady routine, Phineas has the potential to be a really special companion—equal parts sensitive soul and snack enthusiast—he just needs a chance to feel safe again.

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Phineas. 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.

Hamilton arrived to us with his companion, Maple. They were both living as indoor pigs and shared spaces with kids and dogs. Hamilton adjusted quite well to our Pig Barn and has been spending lots of time
outside, especially in his wallow. Hamilton does know how to wear a pig harness!

Hamilton takes a little bit of time to warm up to his people and will need someone who is familiar with pig body language to make sure he is always comfortable! He will happily flop for belly rubs once he
knows you&#8217:re one of the cool kids.

Hamilton would love to find a home with his buddy Maple, where they can take their time settling in and not rushing into new situations. If you think Hamilton would be a good fit for your family, submit
an adoption inquiry!

We conduct adoptions for horses, chickens, and all farm animals on an appointment basis only. Fill out an Inquiry for a Horse or Farm Animal.
