Ruffles is a sweet girl who`s been enjoying social leash walks with dog friends at the shelter, and hanging out in the office with her favorite people! After slow introductions, she has enjoyed spending time around other mellow dogs at the shelter, so we think she may do well with a calm canine sibling in her new home.
Ruffles 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!
If you think Ruffles 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.
Blueberry is a young, active dog with a love for toys, play and being around his people. Unfortunately, Blueberry was diagnosed with a suspected torn CCL (like an ACL in humans!) and may need surgery. This surgery is pretty major, and recovery in a shelter setting is less than ideal. Our hope is to get him into an adoptive home so he can receive follow up care with an orthopedic surgeon and have a comfortable spot to land.
Blueberry would need 8 weeks of careful recovery following surgery, so we are looking for an adopter with a quiet home who can commit to helping Blueberry recover and providing a predictable routine. Blueberry also has penchant for the finer things in life – counter surfing, chewing, and going on unsupervised neighborhood strolls, so we are prepared to support an adopter with guidance for keeping Blueberry safe and providing extra enrichment activities to keep his brain satisfied. He is going to require short leash walks, and would need to be carefully managed around other dogs in the home, at least to start – he is playful by nature and can become quite frustrated when seeing other dogs he can’t play with, and we want to make sure he won’t re-injure his leg!
If you love working on brain games with dogs, have a fondness for land seals, and are up for helping Blueberry get through a tough injury – come meet him today! We promise you’ll be rewarded with a lot of goofy play, the biggest smiles, and a whole lotta love.
*MSPCA will cover the initial cost of surgery, however, we do expect that Blueberry will need additional medical support down the road, so an adopter should be prepared to financially support his medical needs in the future*
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Blueberry. 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.

Kida is currently in foster care. If you are interested in meeting Kida please fill out this inquiry form and a member of our foster team will be in touch to coordinate a meet up!
Introducing Kida! This very special girl has been waiting for her people for quite awhile. Kida has been in a foster home and has really opened up with her foster parents – acting like a silly, cuddly girl who is always SO HAPPY to see them when they come home. She’s the kind of dog that makes you feel like a million bucks, even on your worst days.
Kida is pretty sensitive at first, and can be worried about new environments and people. She’ll shine best in a home that will take things at her pace – following Kida’s cues about when she’s ready to do more things. Do that for her and she will reward you with truly loyal companionship and the cutest zoomies!

Say hey to Ronnie! This spunky pup is ready to find his new home. While he can be slow to warm up to new friends – once you’re his buddy he loves to show off his silly, bouncy self! Ronnie loves to go on nice sniffy walks then cuddle up on the couch afterwards.
Since Ronnie is still a young pup – he still needs to learn all the basics! Ronnie would do best in a home where his new family can help him learn all the skills he will need to navigate the world.
Ronnie may be able to go to a home with another resident dog, as long as it is a good match! He would do best with complete separation to start and a slow introduction between him and the resident dog. An on campus meet is required for this match. Ronnie had no history of living with a cat in his previous home, but could do well with a dog-savvy cat with complete separation and a slow introduction to start.
As a note, Ronnie may not be able to go home the same day. This little guy needs a little bit more help than most dogs do in the home, so we want to make sure his new family is prepared before he goes to his new home!
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Ronnie. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet Buddy! This guy is quite worried here at the shelter (look at those eyes…) so we are taking it slow and letting him adjust at his pace. We aren’t sure how he will be in a home – he may blossom completely outside the shelter, or he may be what we lovingly call a “spirit cat”. We often can’t predict how a spirit cat will be after they settle in – some become comfortable around their family and choose to spend time with them by sharing the same space or allowing some petting, while others continue to prefer to hide when there’s any commotion. Spirit cats generally prefer to spend their time around other cats and make an excellent kitty friend to a cat already in the home. Our staff can help prepare adopters to welcome a spirit cat into a quiet home, but patience and understanding will go a long way with Buddy.
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Buddy. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Meet Molly! She’s a sweet, fluffy girl. She’s nervous around strangers, so as you can imagine, she’s not at her best here at the adoption center. Once she gets to know you she’s an affectionate girl who loves to be around you. She also enjoys play time, and hopes you’ll throw some balls for her to chase. She lived with other cats before, and they didn’t get along. She’s hoping to be the only feline in her new home – could that be with you?

Meet Alex a lively, lovable pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This boy has energy to spare and a playful spirit thats just waiting to shine in his new home! Because of his high energy, 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 physical and mental stimulation. He is working hard on being a good boy 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 journey, this squishy guy just might be your perfect match.
Alex may be able to live with another well-matched (in size and temperament) playful dog friend, a dog-savvy cat, and/or older, sturdy kids that are okay with a rowdy dog and are able to participate in his training.
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Alex. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
