UPDATE: The Northeast Animal Shelter says they’re happy to announce that all available puppies in Salem have been adopted, but they expect more to go up for adoption soon.
SALEM – Calling all dog lovers: Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem says it is “overflowing with puppies” and looking for potential adopters.
MSPCA-Angell shared some adorable puppy pictures on social media and invited the public to come visit between 11:30 am and 5 pm every day if they are interested in welcoming them to the family.
“We are overflowing with puppies at Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem!” the organization said. “Seriously, come adopt please!”
More than 50 younger dogs up for adoption
MSPCA spokesperson Sara-Rose Brenner the organization is getting more puppies now than it has been in the past. There are 30 puppies that are 3 months old or younger, and 51 total dogs under 2 years old. Breeds include Pit Bull Terriers, Siberian Huskies, Labrador Retrievers and Great Danes.
“The youngest are generally learning the ropes of puppy life, so they need help learning some manners and leash walking,” she said. “They have a lot of energy and are very sweet.”
More puppies arrive in Salem for adoption
Brenner said the shelter has helped take on the “national dog population crisis” and is taking in weekly deliveries of puppies from shelters around the country. On Tuesday night, 37 more puppies came in from a Tennessee shelter and will be available for adoption following a check-up and 48-hour quarantine period.
