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
Belly rubs, squeaky toys and walks are a few of sweet Perla`s favorite things. She is 6 years old and is waiting to start the next chapter of her life. Her adopter will need to give her plenty of time to slowly transition to her home as she gets nervous with changes in her life. So this means her world will need to start off small and just be her new family that engages with her in the home and outside, close by. The key to a successful transition, is to allow Perla to decide when she`s ready to expand her circle of friends. Perla can be a talkative lady when she`s excited or wants to play. Depending on introductions, she could possibly live with a dog that has a similar personality. She has lived with cats before, but will of course, need a slow, well managed introduction to a new kitty in her life. Perla also lived with children, so older kids that will give her time to adjust and get to know them, will be considered. Perla does have some ongoing medical needs that will require her adopter to have a good relationship with a vet. This good girl will make you laugh everyday with her silly, bouncy ways and that sweet face of hers will melt your heart. If you think she`s the one for you, please fill out the adoption inquiry form in the link below. http://www.mspca.org/nevinsadoptioninquiry

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.November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Story
Hi! My name is... what? My name is... who? My name is... chcka chcka- SLIM SHADY.My government name is Marshall Mathers though. ?? While I don`t drop sick beats or create mad collabs with Dre, I`m still pretty dope. I was found runnin` the mean streets of Lowell all by myself, but when the AC rolled up I jumped in his truck for an opportunity to see better days. The shelters not a bad place, but I think I`d much rather be in a home with a couch I can stretch out on. I like walks, but I can be kind of lazy sometimes and I would just prefer to chill with my people in the air conditioning. Let it be known- I get pretty excited about small animals. I want to chase squirrels, cats and all other small beings (small dogs are pretty interesting to me too). Needless to say- I`m looking to be your one and only pet. I would do best with dog-savvy teens+.I am really excited to find a home! Come meet me and see if we`re a match!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. MARSHALL IS IN A FOSTER HOME! Please connect with a staff member to coordinate a meet and greet with this great boy!

Story
Hello from Austin! He is a 4 year old neutered male XL bully breed, and the cutest one in town! He is a real beefy boy weighing in at 79 pounds, and he uses every bit of it for love! He gets SOOO excited to see his favorite people, it`s a party every time! He is playful and loves tossing toys around, playing fetch, and going on his walks with his people. He can be quite strong when he wants to be, so his adopter will have to be sturdy and confident on their feet. He is excitable and can sometimes have a hard time remembering not everybody enjoys being jumped on by a small hippo.Austin said no thanks to interacting with other dogs, and would be happiest on his own in his new home, so no other pets please. Due to his size and excitability, we feel it`s best he goes home with older, sturdy, dog-savvy kiddos. Bring the whole fam by to meet Austin!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
All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. sweet cuddle bug!Hi, I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs! Well, my name is actually Rooney, but I still like warm hugs!  How can a dog give hugs, you might ask? Well, I jump up to put my paws on my humans legs and then affectionately lick their faces. It's important to me to make sure everyone knows that I love them because I know what it's like not to be loved. You see, just a few short months ago I was on the streets without anyone to love me. Luckily, I ended up in a shelter with people who cared about me. It was such a relief to have people pay attention to me and not have to worry about where my next meal was coming from. Then, in a second stroke of good luck, some very kind people from a rescue group pulled me out of the shelter. I got to live in a home with a nice comfy bed and lots of toys! I was given lots of snuggles and kisses, and it made me feel so content. I hope to continue that feeling by giving hugs and kisses to everyone I meet! Now that you know that I love giving hugs, here are some other things you should know about me: I am good with other dogs, love going on walks, and spending time with my humans is my top priority. I'm approximately 9 months old and currently about 35 pounds. Like most pups my age, I would benefit from going to school and learning basic obedience. I am food-motivated and ready to learn! Hope to give you hugs soon! Puppy Kisses, Rooney  All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only. December 9, 2024, 10:14 am

Story
Hi I’m Elle! I am sweet and smart itty bitty Pittie mix who can’t wait to meet you! No one can give me any good reason for why, but I ended up spending 5 years at a local animal control facility in MA before this rescue got me into a foster home. Good news, I am so grateful to live in a home now and know exactly what to do and how to act because I’ve been dreaming about this my whole life! I love to snuggle up with humans and take long naps. I also really love to play ball! I am on a foster home with two crazy 2 legged humans - I think you call them toddlers - they like to give me treats and even taught me how to play hide and seek with treats so that’s kinda fun! They like to snuggle too! As long as I get to have some fun each day, I’m a laid back gal in the home and a very easy keeper! Outside, I get a bit overstimulated by the world, especially small animals, dogs and even cars sometimes. I’m a work in progress there but a fenced yard would make it very easy for me to have fun outside without worrying too much! I know I am going to meet an amazing family soon, and it will probably be awesome, but I’ll keep being patient for now. Could it be you?
