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!

Story
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 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.

Story
Meet our resident big boy Jason! His favorite things are sniffywalks, zooming around in a yard, his people, and treats. Jason loves toplay and is full of energy, and would make a great companion for a hiker,runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors.. Jason has enjoyedmeeting other dogs here at the shelter and in his previous home, so wethink they may enjoy a rowdy sibling with a well managed introduction.While he has lived with kids in his previous home, he is a big rowdy guy,so kids on the older or sturdier side could be a good fit. Jason has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentlestart, but once they feel secure, theyll reward you with endless loveand loyalty!

Story
I’m looking to find a loving new home for my sweet dog. She is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and loves being around people. She has a gentle personality and would make a wonderful companion. This has been a very difficult decision, but due to my full-time work schedule and attending school at night, I’m not able to give her the time and attention she truly deserves. I want to make sure she has a home where she can get plenty of love, care, and companionship. I’m looking for a responsible and caring person or family who will treat her like part of their own. If you’re interested or have any questions, please feel free to message me. Serious inquiries only—her wellbeing is my top priority.

Introducing Kida! This very special girl has been waiting for her people for quite awhile. Kida has been in a foster home and has really opened up with her foster parents - acting like a silly, cuddly girl who is always SO HAPPY to see them when they come home. She`s the kind of dog that makes you feel like a million bucks, even on your worst days.Kida is pretty sensitive at first, and can be worried about new environments and people. She`ll shine best in a home that will take things at her pace - following Kida`s cues about when she`s ready to do more things. Do that for her and she will reward you with truly loyal companionship and the cutest zoomies!If you are interested in learning more about Kida, come down to the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in Methuen, MA! We are open Tuesday-Sunday, 12:00-4:30pm.
