Story
Well, he’s a very sweet and loving dog. My friend got arrested and left him with his mom but she didn’t want to take care of him so rather than putting him in a shelter she threw him onto me. Of course I don’t mind taking care of him he isn’t a bother at all but unfortunately where I live it doesn’t allow big dogs. He’s super over protective so once he grows a liking to you strangers will have a hard time coming near you🥺. He’s good with kids but he’s really big and when he gets excited he forgets his size and may knock someone over he is 130-140 lbs. Lastly he’s good with small dogs and cats although they aren’t fawned of him lol and big female dogs but he’s not good around bigger male dogs at all. He’s kind of spoiled since he’s always be an only child so he’s not used to being around a bunch of people or other big males without getting super protective. He OBSESSED WITH BALLS/STICKS so make sure you can play catch 😇. He’s a sweetheart, super goofy and loving 🥺❤️.

Story
Are you ready for some big puppy fun??? Cooper is a happy, clever young guy that is looking for adopters that will be excited to help him achieve best boy ever status! This means positive rewards training, fine tuning house training, exercise and tons of fun and laughs in between. Because Cooper loves everyone he meets and gets very excited, he might forget all about the polite way to greet people and be a bit on the jumpy side. Teens that are comfortable with bouncy young dogs and will participate in his training, will be considered. He can potentially join a home with a resident dog that is comfortable with his rough and tumble play style and who can be a good role model. No cats in the home at this time, please. Cooper is ready to become a wonderful companion for many years, he just needs to find his forever family. If you think he might be the one for you, please drop by the shelter during open hours to talk to staff. Tuesday- Sunday 12-3p

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
Ava is an 11-month-old pittie mix with a heart full of love and energy! At first, Ava is nervous when meeting new people, but once she warms up, she becomes a fun-loving, playful companion who is always eager to be near her favorite humans. Her sweet nature shines through as she brings joy and silliness to every moment. Ava loves to play with other dogs and is always up for a good game. Her affectionate personality makes her the perfect addition to any home looking for a playful, loving, and energetic furry friend! Ava is still working on some basic training, so shes looking for an owner who is dedicated to helping her work on polite greetings, leash walking, and some puppy basics! At the shelter, Ava is a staff and volunteer favorite and even the other dogs love her! Ava is a candidate to live with a polite dog friend who`s down for a good romp! She does not have experience living with cats, though with a careful introduction may do well. Ava has spent time in a previous home with younger, very respectful kids and did well.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.

Story
Long-term resident Simba has been patiently waiting for an adopter since August and would love to be your next adventure dog! During his stay, staff has slowly been learning more and more about this active guy as we unfortunately don`t have a known history on his life thus far. From what we have learned, Simba loves: car rides, stuffy toys, long sniffy walks, both fresh and dirty laundry (hah!) and snuggles with his people. This foody boy also makes for a great training buddy and is a favorite amongst his staff Behavior Team friends! Since being with us, Simba has been perfecting his on-leash skills like walking on a loose leash, greeting new people with four feet on the ground, and calmly observing the surroundings around him. After a long outing, Simba often spends his afternoons at the shelter lounging in the office with staff practicing his skills settling calmly while watching folks pass by. As his life in the shelter has gone on, it has become evident to staff that he is quite stressed living in the busy kennel environment where there isn`t always opportunity to relieve the stress of living in such a busy environment. Thankfully, we have some wonderful staff and volunteers who have taken this handsome guy on field trips to give him a break from the shelter environment! He has done well on both off-campus calm walks in addition to some longer hikes. He`s done well at a foster`s home walking around their neighborhood, and did well being confined in a smaller, low-traffic room inside during his down time. We would recommend setting him up in a similar space in a future home and our team is happy to workshop what this might look like in an adopters home. Simba is a young, rowdy guy and is still working on perfecting his greetings with new dogs and people and would likely benefit from settling home in a quiet spot with some flexibility to his care. For the time being, we would advise Simba be the solo dog in the home with the potential to have on-leash walking buddies who may also enjoy a nice romp! Given he has no accessible history, we do not know if he has ever met a cat. We would recommend going home with a dog-savvy cat with the ability to take the introduction slowly to ensure each individual`s success. If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Methuen Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday to Sunday from 12pm to 4:30pm.
