Meet Clementine. She is a spirited adult feline! Sweet but spicy, but she is full of personality and can make a great companion for the right person or family. It’s important she finds someone who understands her needs and temperament and can give her time to settle in a new home.
Meet our delightful, medium-sized bundle of energy! This playful pup is always ready for an adventure and loves to run, jump, and play with both humans and other dogs. With a friendly and sociable nature, this dog thrives in an environment with other canine companions, making playtime a joyous occasion for all.
While still working on training, manners, and housebreaking, this pup is eager to learn and responds well to positive reinforcement. With a bit of patience and consistency, you’ll find a loyal and loving friend who will bring endless joy and excitement to your home. If you’re ready for an energetic and playful companion, this dog is waiting to join your family!
We have several gorgeous geese available for adoption! Geese are very social animals, so we’d love to send these birds home in pairs at least (and even better if you already have a flock for them to join)! Geese make great flock protectors and these guys and gals would love a job to do.
Trixie is a sweet and sassy little husky pup who can’t wait to find her new best friend! She came to us from a southern shelter so we don’t know much about her history, but she has been very snuggly with us! Trixie has been through a lot of transitions in a short period of time and is looking for a family that can help her adjust at her own pace. She has been interested in making dog friends and could likely do well with a social dog to show her the ropes.

Meet Sandy! This sweet girl is looking for new digs for her and sister Cheeks! Sandy is a spunky girl who loves to chat with her people, and spend time with them outside of her enclosure.

Rose is a sweet and shy lady who is looking for a new home of her own! Rose came to us with a group of dogs that we received from an overcrowded kennel environment in the Texas. We don’t know too much about her history, but we know she is already making progress and coming out of her shell in New England. Rose has been through a lot of transitions in a short period of time and she is looking for a patient family who can help show her the ropes and adjust to a home environment at her own pace. She can be nervous in new situations, but she is already getting more comfortable and asking for snuggles with some of her friends. Rose has been around other dogs and might do well with another social dog to help build her confidence. She might be okay with older kids who can read her body language and respect her boundaries!

Louie is a sweet, affectionate boy. He loves to be around people, and enjoys a bit of play time. He’s a talkative fellow with lots of opinions on many subjects! He’s lived with another cat before, and they got along well. He’s also lived with dogs before, and would probably prefer not to again (although he might be ok with a dog who is friendly to cats). He’s looking forward to finding his new home and family – maybe it’ll be with you.

Kevin is a friendly pittie built kind of like your grandmothers coffee
table. He is big, low to the ground and really heavy. Kidding aside,
Kevin is a sweet, friendly guy who would make a great walking buddy. Hed
also make a great lounging on the couch buddy. This good boy loves toys
and can entertain himself. If he can have toys outside, then he is living
his best life. He is house trained and will let you know when he needs to
go out. While he is doing well with his loose leash walking skills, there
are times he can be very strong and pully. He is hoping for an adopter
that will continue with his training. Sometimes Kevin is uncomfortable
with close handling. His family just needs to watch his body language and
it is pretty obvious when he wants to be pet and when he needs a break.
Kevin could probably live with a well-matched dog friend or a dog savvy
cat. This best boy has a good history with meeting strangers. Do you want
to meet Kevin? Visit him at the MSPCA in Methuen Tuesday-Sunday
12PM-4:30PM.

Meet Loon! She is 8 months old and is ready for her new home! She can be worried in new situations and is looking for someone to give her time and space to feel cozy/comfortable but once shes opened up, she gets excited easily and loves to play! While she and her adopters get to know each other, her bubble should be kept small and predictable. Additionally, her adopters should be prepared for all things puppy: house training, puppy-proofing, and working on fine-tuning her manners using a gentle approach. Any kids in the home should be old enough to give her space while shes settling in, and to participate in training once shes more comfortable in the home.

More about Amaira:
I have an affectionate and loving nature: I am such a pretty calico girl, and I love to play with toys!
I am a bit shyer with people I do not know, and it takes me time to warm up to them. I am sensitive to loud noises and touch, and I especially do not like to be touched on my belly or legs.
I will need a slow introduction to my new home and litter box while I settle in and become comfortable in my new surroundings.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats. I hope you will stop by to meet me!
Compatibility:
Cats: No thanks
Dogs: No thanks
Kids: Possibly – older, quiet, and able to read cat-body language.
Ollie is a chunky lady who can’t wait to find a new home! This gal is great mix of active and couch potato. She loves to go for walks and play outside, we think she will enjoying swimming since she has tried splashing around in puddles here! Ollie seems to really enjoy other dogs, but can come in a bit hot. She prefers older children who can give her some space when she needs it and would prefer a home without cats.

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 let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Cornelia is a sweet senior lady with nary a tooth in her mouth. This little granny came to us from a commerical breeding facility, but now she is ready to spend her golden years in a loving lap. Despite her abnormal history Cornelia loves to meet people and getting gentle head scratches are her favorite. She prefers to be with her people and is looking for a home where she doesn’t have to be alone very often. Corenlia can be a little forward with other dogs, but could likely do fine with other easygoing pets in the home.
