Meet Amelia Earhart
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!
If you think Amelia Earhart could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Nevins Farm Adoption Center in Methuen. We have open adoption hours Tuesday – Sunday from 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm with no appointment or application needed.
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.
