Rogerina is a sweet young gal, who enjoys snuggling, her snacks, and has a good history living around older kids! She is looking to be an only animal in her next home, but may do okay with another rabbit (no history), but has a history of not liking other animals getting into her personal space. She can be demanding for attention (nipping) so will do best with a rabbit experienced adopter that can discourage this behavior.

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

Nala is a sleek, gorgeous girl! She is smart and really enjoy her
training sessions at the shelter.

Nala is a sweet and sensitive pup looking for an understanding family who
is willing to use positive reinforcement to build confidence. She enjoys a
good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settle in at the end of the
day, and has proven to be a good office-mate during her time at the
shelter.

Nala 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 Nala 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.

Meet Bruce! This cuddly, affectionate boy has been waiting
patiently at the shelter for his perfect adopter to come along.

Bruce is a little bit on the spicy side of life! Bruce would do best with
an adopter who is not phased by a little pizazz, is willing to learn to
read cat body language, and can give him time to adjust to a new home.

Bruce is worried, and sweet, so were taking it slow as we get to know
him and allowing him to build up confidence at his own pace. Come on in to
meet Bruce and see if he is a good match for your family!

If you think Bruce 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.

Budgerigars, the most common parakeet we see, are native to Australia where they live in massive flocks in the grasslands. Parakeets tend to be docile, gentle, can be easy to tame and can even talk! Despite their small size, these birds can have large vocabularies and can make a wonderful training companion. We recommend that parakeets live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Parakeets can live up to 7-15 years with proper nutrition and care, and can be a loyal companion.

We recommend a cage that is at least 27”x24” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ½” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Nests can be provided but should be removed if any females begin to lay eggs. We do not recommend a seed only diet as it can lead to malnutrition and other potential issues, please consult your vet for specific diet recommendations.

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

This dove is part of a large surrender that came to us in part due to overcrowding. They did not receive a lot of socialization so they can be shy and skittish around people, but if given enough time to adjust can be lovely companions. They are currently living in groups and do well with other doves.

Doves can be tamed but tend to be more “hands off” birds. They tend to vocalize throughout the day with a “coo”, dissimilar to the screeching or whistling of many other birds. Doves can be found around the world, and can live up to 10 years with proper nutrition and care. We recommend that doves live in pairs or groups whenever possible.

We recommend a cage that is at least 32”x23” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ?-¾” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of flat surfaces to perch on, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Unlike many other species of birds, doves are unable to climb up cage bars, and tend to move back and forth making a wider cage more appealing to them. Doves should be provided with regular opportunities for bathing, and unlike parrots require grit as part of their regular diet to aid in digestion.

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

Meet Scooby!

Scooby is a very playful boy who absolutely loves being outside. He may need some time to warm up to new people, but once comfortable, he’s such a snuggle bug! He’s happiest sitting next to his people, cuddling up with a long-lasting chew, and taking long, cozy naps. His sweet and loving personality bring so much joy into a room, and his unique bark never stops being funny. Scooby’s favorite thing in life is tennis balls, and he has pretty big feelings when people try to take them from him. He’s looking for an adopter who’s committed to reading his body language and never attempting to take items from his mouth – he will trade when offered, and we want him to feel secure with his favorite items. Scooby’s ideal humans are committed to training using positive reinforcement, willing to take things at his pace, and happy to let him self-entertain with his toys before settling down for some snuggle time.

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Scooby. 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.

This rat is part of a large surrender from an overcrowded home. These rats can be sweet and playful once comfortable but many of them are undersocialized and can be very frightened/avoidant of people. These rats will do best with rat-experienced adopters that are comfortable with aiding them in becoming more social & confident. We have limited history of the group in their previous home, but know that they can be big chewers! As such they will need lots of appropriate chewing (and other) enrichment available to help them channel excise energy in an appropriate manner.

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.

This absolutely gorgeous dog is James. In his previous home, James was mostly living outside and really did not get to meet many new people or dogs, or experience new sights and sounds. Now, James is hoping for an adopter who will give him time to decompress and adjust to his new life. Good boy James is so very smart and trains quickly using a clicker. He loves long sniffy walks or romping around in a yard. He has also decided that car rides are awesome and will go with you wherever you want to go. While James was able to take walks with other calm dogs, living with another dog would currently take a good deal of management. James has successfully lived with cats in his previous home. And if children are old enough to practice petting consent and help with his training plan, James may be able to live with kids.

If you think James 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.

Ferrets are highly active and incredibly goofy animals. Much like a young child, ferrets can get themselves into a lot of trouble! As such the home needs to be ferret-proofed, they even fit through spaces larger than the diameter of a quarter! Although ferrets can get into lots of mischief they can be incredibly fun and entertaining companions. Ferrets are carnivores and must receive a high-protein diet.

We recommend a large solid floored, multi-level cage similar to those made for ferrets or chinchillas. The cage should include houses or other structures for the ferret to hide in. Ferrets can be litterbox trained and we highly recommend it as they can be quite messy.

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

Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion! Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex. A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30″ x 50″ with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged! Guinea pigs can be quite noisy which can be lovely as long as you are expecting it!
