Story
Meet Marshmallow! This bouncy girl is full or spunk! She is very smart, and is doing great as she begins her work on her manners. She is looking for someone who is dedicated to using positive reinforcement training to continue this work so she can shine in her new home! Her favorite things include long sniffy walks, and romping around the yard with stuffy toys. Once she is comfortbale, she is also a great snuggle partner. Marshmallow has a pretty forward & pushy approach when interacting with other dogs, and should be the only dog in the home. Once her family gets to know her more, she can potentially have dog friends with slower introductions. This happy girl is still honing in her housebreaking skills, and would need a puppy proofed space to slowly acclimate to house life! Your new adventure buddy awaits, come see her today!Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Marshmallow. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Good with dogs,
Story
Meet Hubba Bubba! This 2-year old fun-loving lowrider came to us from local animal control after being found as a stray and he is a hunk-o-hunk-o-burning love! Hubba Bubba? More like Hubba Hubba. This exquisite looker is big bubbles and no troubles and is bursting with love at every turn. And maybe Hubba Chubba! With his Bubbalicious bubble butt, extra meaty Bazooka thighs, and Super Bubble noggin, this low-key chunky monkey is spectacular!  Bubba is a good ol' boy with the stellar personality to prove it. He is outgoing, loves to sniff on walks, is a dream in the car, always excited to meet new friends, and loves toys (and almost everything else!). In true bully fashion, he can be a bit stubborn but is ultimately eager to please and is reminiscent of a fruity flavor of fun all day every day.  Bubba is seriously a yummy dream, bursting with love! He always wants pets/scritches/love and will lift his arm to demand it. He has moderate energy but definitely needs a nap afterwards (don’t we all?!) and has been known to wiggle his tail ‘til his butt falls off. This dog-friendly classic would be a great addition to so many families! Due to his size and lack of history, older or no kids would be best. Hubba Bubba’s top 3 priorities: 1. A family who loves to love as much as he does! He is an amateur professional snuggler and expects the same of his humans!  2. A family who would engage in a bit of outdoor playtime (and then snuggle afterwards, obviously!). 3. A family who wants their 4-legged friend to be part of the action, even if it is just watching Bubba chew his toy while you WFH.January 3, 2026, 4:32 pm

Story
Meet Hulk! Hulk is a fun-loving, playful boy with a big personality and an even bigger smile. He absolutely loves being outside—whether it’s exploring the yard, playing fetch, or heading out for a walk. Food is one of his greatest motivators, and walks are one of his favorite adventures, though fair warning: Hulk is a strong and enthusiastic guy who’s very excited about where he’s going! This happy boy greets everyone he meets with a wagging tail, a joyful grin, and often a toy in his mouth, ready to invite you into a game of fetch. Hulk thrives on human attention and would love a home where he can soak up all the love for himself. He prefers to be the only dog in the home and likes to keep his food to himself, so a single-dog household would be his ideal match. He would do well in a home with teens and up. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s full of energy, affection, and personality, Hulk is ready to be your one-and-only best friend. Ready to Adopt?

Story
Meet Phoenix! He is a 5 year old neutered male french bulldog mix, and he is ready to start his new year in a brand new forever home! This guy is playful, energetic, cuddly, and all good things dogs can be. Phoenix does have a couple quirks we must share with you today. He is not a fan of other dogs at all and would have to be the only dog in his household, and he does not want canine friends either. His previous owners made a point to let us know he enjoys chasing cats, so we do not think he should live with cats either. As for kids, we think he may do well with an older dog-savvy kiddo who is steady on their feet because Phoenix is a jumper!If you are interested in this dog, our staff would love to talk with you more about him! Follow the directions below to make it happen:Our shelter is open Tuesday-Sunday from 12-4 (closed Mondays). If you are interested in this pet, please review our adoption process at www.lowellhumanesociety.org/adoption/#process so you`re prepared to adopt & stop by the shelter with the required information to take home this pet.

Story
Ducky is a sweet, gentle bulldog mix looking for a loving home with someone who understands the breed and is open to discussing her medical needs—please call to learn more. She’s an incredibly easygoing girl who thrives in a calm, predictable environment and does best as the main focus of the home. Because of her physical needs, Ducky should live with either a very calm dog who won’t jump on her, or as an only dog. She needs help getting onto furniture, either by being picked up or using a ramp.This low-key lady is all about the cozy life. Ducky loves cuddling on the couch, soaking up gentle massages, and sticking to a comfortable daily schedule. She’s not high energy at all—she’s a great sleeper, very chill, and wonderfully patient. During her time with us, she greeted new visitors with friendly curiosity. She’s alert when someone comes to the door but always welcoming to new faces.
