Story
Meet young puppy Bocce. This is a happy go lucky guy with a lot of energy.He loves to entertain himself with toys and is really good walking on aleash. Oh, dont let that adorable face fool you. This puppy will requirea bit more training with polite greetings and to use that puppy mouthappropriately. Luckily, Bocce loves his snacks and will train for cookies.This good boy is looking to join a low traffic home with older kids only tohelp him become his best self. The best situation would be if he could livewith an older, patient dog that will teach him the ropes. Here at theshelter, he has enjoyed play dates with other dogs. We have no history ofwhat Bocce thinks of cats, so a dog-savvy cat would be a possibility.Does Bocce sound like the pup for you? If so, please head to the MethuenMSPCA location Tuesday-Sunday between the hours of 12PM-3PM!

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED 12/08-12/14!Amelia Earhart is a staff favorite in Methuen- she`s a sweet, active young dog who has been in the shelter since January and is still looking for her new home! Amelia is looking for a patient adopter who is ready to support a big exciting gal who may need a longer adjustment home since she`s been living in such a stressful environment for some time. While it will be important for adopters to go at her pace, she has made great strides in her training with our shelter team and she is building lots of skills to practice her best manners! Our staff team is excited to share all we`ve learned about Amelia while she`s been in our care.Amelia has many lovely qualities: she loves plush toys, learning, enrichment activities, and staying active. Once she`s settled in with her people, she’s snuggly, affectionate, and quite the jokester! She will need a quiet, predictable environment with limited variables as she decompresses. While she has been building her skills around dogs, at this time we are looking for a home without another dog so that we can focus on getting her some relaxation time away from the noisy shelter environment before trying to introduce a new friend. Amelia would benefit from a quiet, predictable environment with limited variables as she decompresses. She is not a fit for homes with cats. Amelia has the potential to live with kids that are ready to adjust to life with a higher energy large breed dog who absolutely adores her people.Amelia is a smart, loving dog who has been waiting quite some time for the right fit for her new home. If you can offer her a calm space, consistency, and patience, our staff is excited to help you every step of the way! Come meet Amelia Earhart in Methuen during our open hours between 12PM-4:30PM!

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED 12/08-12/14!Meet Loki, or affectionately known as Uncle Loki by his friends! Loki is a silly guy with a frosted face, but don`t let that fool you- this guy is active and quite the go-getter! He goes on weekly runs with one of our all-star running volunteers and loves spending his time out on the rail trail. He`s even spent a sleepover at another volunteer who adores him, and he seemed to settle right in! While Loki is a bit reserved at first, he warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give him some time to decompress in his new home. At the shelter, Loki is practicing calm greetings with new dogs, going on car rides with his friends, and settling in an office to get some extra out of kennel time. While on a special diet food, this guy LOVES his enrichment and training, and is quite easily entertained! If Loki sounds like the one for you, come stop by Methuen to learn more about him during our open hours between 12PM-4:30PM!

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED 12/08-12/14!Star is a cute and fun lady who is ready to find a home of her own. She was surrendered with a limited history so we don`t know much about her life before her arrival, but she has been active and playful with shelter staff. She has been very quick to pick up on training and we think with some practice she will become a well mannered lady. Star does seem to have a bit of a prey drive, so we are recommeding she not live with cats or small animals. She can be a bit rude meeting new dogs, but might be able to live with a social and tolerant friend. Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.

Story
Hunter is a gentle 60-pound Pitbull mix with a heart of gold. This strong boy, about a year old, was found running loose on the back roads of Tennessee, but despite his tough start, he's in great shape with a silky black coat. While no one has come forward to claim him, Hunter is patiently waiting for a loving family to call his own! Hunter enjoys his daily walks and is working on not pulling on the leash. ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 He’s curious, playful, and loves other dogs! He’s been sharing a pen with a Boxer, though we feed him separately to avoid any food aggression. Hunter does the cutest little dance when it’s time for his meals or walks—it’s sure to put a smile on your face! While he hasn’t been tested with cats or kids yet, Hunter did have a run-in with a neighbor’s chicken , so he might be best suited to a home without small livestock. Critter Cavalry Rescue is a Middle Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) that travels to the Northeast states weekly, helping high-risk homeless animals like Hunter find their forever homes. For more info on our mission, adoption fees, and drop-off points, visit us at CritterCavalry.com! &#226&#156&#168 Are you ready to give this playful boy a chance at a new beginning? &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to request an adoption application.  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.April 30, 2025, 9:41 pm
