Were taking it slow as we get to
know Praline and allowing her to build up confidence at her own pace.

read cat body language, and can give her time to adjust to a new home. Come
on in to meet Praline and see if she can spice up your life!

Billie is a smushy young pittie mix looking for her new home! This sweet kiddo likes to hit the trails to explore and sniff around, and loves to wrap it all up with some snacks and couch time with her people. Bille can be a bit reserved at first when making new friends, 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.

Billie’s a dog with a heart as big as her size, so her greetings can be a little on the rude side – potential adopters should be prepared to help her learn how to get someone’s attention without jumping on them! Lucklly she is a foodie, and loves to train using positive reinforcement methods.

This sweet, smushy girl 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 Billie 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.

settle in, and youll see his sweet and loving personality shine!

This gerbil is part of a large group of gerbils that came in together! The batch is friendly and social, both with their fellow gerbil companions and to people. They will need to go home in pairs (or more) or to an existing (same-sex) gerbil companion already existing in the home.

Gerbils are nocturnal, very adventurous, tend to have a friendly nature and can be easy to hand tame! Gerbils are social creatures and should be housed with same-sex gerbils except for medical or behavioral reasons.

We recommend a 10 gallon or larger tank filled with about 2” of paper bedding or other nesting material. Nesting material should be loose, light, easy to manipulate, and of course safe. Enclosures should be well ventilated but kept out of direct drafts, and should provide plenty of enclosed opaque shelters for the gerbils to retreat into as desired. Enclosures should provide lots of enrichment for the gerbils to meet their natural needs in the areas of chewing/gnawing, physical movement, resting/hiding, and nesting material or food to forage. A properly sized wheel or disc is a necessity for the gerbils to meet their exercise needs.

The needs of each gerbil are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the gerbil 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.

* If you are not ready to adopt, but are in a position to donate, please visit www.mspca.org/nevinsgift .

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

Caroline is a smart, treat-motivated girl who loves being close to her people and is happiest when she has a job to do, especially if it involves training or sniffy, exploratory walks!

She’s an affectionate companion at heart and enjoys connection once she feels safe and comfortable.

Caroline is still learning to trust new people and environments, so she’s looking for a patient adopter who will go at her pace and give her time to decompress. She may need space at first and will do best with a calm, predictable routine where she can build confidence gradually.

She has shown that she can be worried in new situations and selective in her dog friendships, so thoughtful introductions and respectful handling will be important. With time, understanding, and positive reinforcement, Caroline has all the potential to become a loyal, loving companion who truly bonds with her person.

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Caroline. 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 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.

Koko is a stunning, lanky girl with a playful, silly side just waiting to shine in the right home. Once she feels safe, she loves to zoom, stretch out in a sunny spot, and soak up gentle neck rubs and head scritches (complete with her signature goofy head tilt!).

Koko can be sensitive to new people, places, and dogs, so she’s looking for a patient, experienced adopter who will respect her need for space and let her build confidence at her own pace. She’ll do best in a calm, low-traffic home where she can decompress and feel secure, with someone who understands dog body language and is committed to positive, thoughtful training.

With time, trust, and understanding, Koko will reward her person with her fun-loving personality and loyal companionship.

Cupid is an adorable young pup who is eager to learn and grow. He is an
eager pupil – he cant wait to earn treats and by participating in
training. Cupid is looking to learn all the doggie things that come with a
new home and is a great candidate for positive reinforcement. Cupid can be
a little shy at first, but once he warms up, he enjoys gentle affection and
a good scratch.

Cupid could live with another dog. He would do best with a confident dog
companion who can serve as a positive role model and help build his
confidence. Cupid has not lived with a cat before but may be able to do so
with a thoughtful introduction. Cupid has lived with children in the past
and could do so again with kids who understand dog body language and can
participate in his training plan.

If you think Cupid 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.

Meet Huey! Huey is an eager learner who has been through several
transitions in his short life. We`ve learned a lot about him and skills he
is currently working on with our team, so he is looking for a patient owner
to help them master manners, polite greetings, leash skills, and puppy
basicstraining together will be a fun and rewarding journey!

His favorite things are training or sniffy walks, people, learning new
things, and once he`s had time to get his zoomies out, some calm settling
time with people. Huey is a happy, bouncy, and super wiggly pup, looking
for a family to bring endless joy! Huey 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. Huey has enjoyed interacting with other dogs
here at the shelter, but is still learning how to do so! We think they
might do well with a canine sibling that likes to romp and play as much as
they do, with management around their introduction.

If you think Huey 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.

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.

Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Thomas. 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.
