Cupcake is a goofy, lanky, and lovable girl who brings big joy and even bigger energy wherever she goes!
She loves running, chasing, and playing with other dogs, and she has a fun, clumsy charm that makes her hard not to smile at. She also enjoys snuggles with her people and is highly motivated for training, especially if treats are involved!
Cupcake is still learning her house manners and how to settle in a home environment, so she’s looking for an adopter who is ready for a trainable dog with lots of potential. She’ll do best with structure, routine, and plenty of environmental management as she learns what’s expected of her.
With patience, consistency, and a good sense of humor, Cupcake will thrive as an active, social companion who brings a lot of fun and personality to her forever home.
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Cupcake. 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.
Say hi to Nala! Nala has it all – shes pretty, smart, and social. Nala is crate trained and has been working on lay down. She is looking to continue her training when she moves into her new home. She loves walkies and also settles down nicely. If you are looking for a hang out partner or help getting your steps in, Nala is your girl! Nala is looking for a spot where she can decompress and relax, and an adopter who can read her signals and advocate for her. Nala has lived with another dog before and the two did not have the same play style. She could live with another dog well-matched again given a thoughtful introduction. Nal has lived with both cats and children and could do so again. Cat introductions should have a thoughtful introduction.
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 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.

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Tinskey. 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 Bowie! This sweet boy is happy, bouncy, and super wiggly. He has had two previous homes where he was not properly cared for and was brought to the shelter very underweight, so he is looking for a forever home who will keep him healthy and safe. Bowie loves to play and can be full of energy, so he`d make a great companion for a hiker, runner, or someone who`s just an admirer of the great outdoors. Lots of things may make Bowie excited, so he`d do best with adopters that can continue to train with him so that he can learn how to settle and enjoy some quiet time. Any kids in the home should be able to participate in his training plan, and should be unfazed by a bouncy pup and their goofy antics.
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.
If you think Jade 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 Cuervo, a sweet, laid -back boy with lots of love to give. Cuervo enjoys short, sniffy walks around the block followed by an extended nap time. It can take Cuervo some time to adjust to new situations, so he’ll need a patient adopter to help him as he acclimates. Cuervo could live with dogs, cats, and older kids who can respect his boundries.
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Cuervo. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet Nymeria, a striking 6 year old husky looking for her new home! We have limited info on this kiddo, but we know that she was living in a bubble in her previous home–not regularly meeting new people or dogs–and so will do best in a quieter home in a low-traffic area, where she can adjust at her own pace. Nymeria is a true snack connoisseur, and she’s been making great progress on some of her home skills using positive reinforcement training (she is currently working on her housebreaking, walking on leash, and some other basics). Adopters should have some patience and a good sense of humor as Nymeria adjusts to living in her new home, and be ready to manage their environment as needed to help her be successful.
Nymeria will do best with adopters ready to practice petting consent–meaning, letting her be the one to initiate interactions, and not petting her if she’s not asking. Any children in the home should be ready to follow the same approach, and participate in her training and management plan! Nymeria lived with dogs in her previous home, but has been avoidant when interacting with dogs in our care, so she could do ok with a mellow dog to help show her the ropes, but might also like to be your one and only.
If you’re looking to add a new canine companion to your home, then look no further than Nymeria–she might be worried to start, but given some time to settle in and a gentle and patient hand, Nymeria’s sure to shine!
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Nymeria. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet the beautiful Xena. Xena’s our senior lady in the shelter right now, and she’s ready to find the perfect match to enjoy her golden years! Xena was described as a snuggly velcro dog in her previous home, and once she is settled into her new environment we have no doubt she will show that side of herself again. Xena is very sensitive and is oftentimes worried in new situations. She is looking for a family that can let her get comfortable at her pace and not put any additional pressure on her. This sweet girl’s dream home is somewhere where she can lay in a big comfy bed and get snuggles from her favorite people. It may be possible that she can live with another low energy dog, but a meet on campus beforehand would be most beneficial.
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Xena. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Meet Arthur, a 3 year old Husky with a heart full of potential. We have limited history on him, but know that he was living in a bubble, meaning he was not meeting strangers or other dogs, and is very fearful as a result–Arthur can be shy and uncertain of the world around him, but with patience and a gentle approach to training, he is learning that the world is not so scary.
As Arthur has an abnormal background, he is looking for an adopter who can offer him a calm, low-traffic environment where he can continue to grow and learn. He will need someone who’s ready to teach him all the basics, such as housebreaking, walking on a leash, and general manners, using positive reinforcement training (Arthur loves snacks and is very smart, so he’s a great training buddy!).

Scooby is a playful, outdoors-loving boy who truly shines once he’s had a little time to get comfortable. New faces can take a moment, but when he warms up, he turns into a total snuggle bug! He loves being close to his people, lounging beside them with a long-lasting chew, enjoying long, cozy naps, and filling the room with joy thanks to his sweet, loving personality. And his unique bark? Always good for a laugh.
Tennis balls are Scooby’s absolute favorite thing in the world! Because they’re so special to him, he appreciates humans who understand his body language and respect his space around his treasured toys. Scooby is happy to trade items when offered, and this helps him feel safe and secure with the things he loves most.
Scooby would do best with adopters who are patient, kind, and committed to positive-reinforcement training. He’s looking for someone who’s happy to move at his pace, let him enjoy entertaining himself with his toys, and then settle in for some well-earned cuddle time. With the right people, Scooby is a truly wonderful companion ready to bring lots of love (and laughs) into 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 has had a hard time meeting dogs in her short life, so she would prefer to be the only dog of the family!
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! Luckily she is a foodie, and loves to train using positive reinforcement methods.
