Story

Our family is looking to surrender our Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Potato. He is currently 10 years old. Shortly after purchasing him from a pet store in 2015, my wife and I discovered that we were allergic to him. Unfortunately, we just had a newborn and discovered he is severely allergic, so we ultimately have to rehome him.Potato is a very loving dog and lives up to his name. He loves cuddling indoors with his family, but he does enjoy the occasional walk and loves rolling around in the grass.He had a bad incident with another dog when he was a puppy, so it is preferable he goes to a home without other dogs. He is good with cats.About a year ago in July 2025, he had a cardiac event where we discovered he has congenital heart disease. His medication currently is as follows: Pimobendan 10mg, Furosemide 80mg, Enalapril 20mg.Overall, he is a great dog, but does require maintenance. We hope he is able to find a family that is able to give him the love he deserves.

Coco is a playful girl who loves romping with toys. While she might be a little reserved at first, she truly loves her people and will show them her silly side. And this girl is smart! She has been working on her manners here at the shelter and is really coming along. Coco would do best in a quieter home environment without children. This pretty girl also prefers friends of the human variety, not other cats or dogs. She would do best as the only pet in the house. Poor Coco has had a rough go of it and is finding shelter life to be stressful. Would you like to help her out? Come visit this sweet girl.

Story

Meet Bambi! This fun loving, pint-sized girl came to us on a transport from a shelter out of state so we don`t know much about her history. What we have found is that she loves to play with her toys and is super snuggly once her needs have been met. We know that she would do best with an adopter who can provide her with some structure and a gentle approach to training while she catches up on her manners. Stop by our Methuen at Nevins Farm Adoption Center to learn more about this silly girl!
