Meet Sweetpea! This beautiful lady loves other cats, but hasn’t quite gotten the hang of making human friends just yet. While her name implies a sweet natured cat, she is actually a spicy gal! She would benefit from a quiet home that already has a confident helper cat to help her gain her own confidence. She’s looking for patient adopters that will let her adjust at her own pace and love her just the way she is!

If you’re interested in meeting Sweetpea, please come to the shelter during open hours, Tuesday through Sunday from 1-4PM to chat with staff to see if you and Sweeetpea could be a match!

Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex. A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30? x 50? with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged! Guinea pigs can be quite noisy which can be lovely as long as you are expecting it!

Bean is looking for a home with preferably experienced adopters that can help him become more comfortable around humans, and provide plenty of enrichment to keep him busy and active.

Gerbils are nocturnal, very adventurous, tend to have a friendly nature and can be easy to hand tame! Gerbils are social creatures and should be housed with same-sex gerbils except for medical or behavioral reasons.

We recommend a 10 gallon or larger tank filled with about 2” of paper bedding or other nesting material. Nesting material should be loose, light, easy to manipulate, and of course safe. Enclosures should be well ventilated but kept out of direct drafts, and should provide plenty of enclosed opaque shelters for the gerbils to retreat into as desired. Enclosures should provide lots of enrichment for the gerbils to meet their natural needs in the areas of chewing/gnawing, physical movement, resting/hiding, and nesting material or food to forage. A properly sized wheel or disc is a necessity for the gerbils to meet their exercise needs.

The needs of each gerbil are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the gerbil you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Naomi is a cute little pup ready to find a home of her own. She came to us from from a southern shelter so we don’t have much information on her history, but she has been sweet and curious since she got here. Naomi has had a lot of transitions in a short period of time so she is looking for a family that can give her time to settle in at her own pace and teach her about the world in a safe and fun way. Naomi is still learning her manners like what things are good for chewing and how to potty outside. She would likely do well with another social dog to help show her the ropes.

If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.

For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/

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’re 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.

Nuzzle:

I came to Massachusetts on an out-of-state transport to find my new home, so we have no history for me.

Here at the shelter it can be hard for cats to show their affectionate side due to stress of the activity, and I have been pretty worried here.

I struggle with transitions so I am looking for an adopter willing to give me as much time as I need to settle in. This may take a couple of weeks or longer, but it will be worth it in the end!
My success will be dependent on how well my adopter is able to read and understand my cat-body language. My adopters should go slow, and be prepared to have no expectations or timelines for me.

Stop by our Nevins Farm Adoption Center to meet Nuzzle. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm- 4:30pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

You are welcome to enter our cat rooms during open hours. Staff and volunteers will be happy to assist you!

Meet Stephen, a gentle and sensitive boy who absolutely loves affection. The world is still a bit new and scary for him, so he’ll need plenty of time to decompress during the first several weeks in his new home. Patience will be key as he adjusts at his own pace, and keeping his world small and calm during this time will help him become more comfortable.

Stephen is looking for an adopter who understands the importance of giving him the time and space he needs to settle in. He could also live with a confident helper dog with management and a slow introduction. With the right environment and lots of love, Stephen will blossom into the loving, affectionate companion he’s meant to be. If you’re ready to offer him a peaceful, understanding home, Stephen could be the perfect fit for you!

I am a baby! As such I must go home with a parakeet or to an existing flock, and will require additional socialization in the home to both people and any existing flock.

Budgerigars, the most common parakeet we see, are native to Australia where they live in massive flocks in the grasslands. Parakeets tend to be docile, gentle, can be easy to tame and can even talk! Despite their small size, these birds can have large vocabularies and can make a wonderful training companion. We recommend that parakeets live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Parakeets can live up to 7-15 years with proper nutrition and care, and can be a loyal companion.

We recommend a cage that is at least 27”x24” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ½” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Nests can be provided but should be removed if any females begin to lay eggs. We do not recommend a seed only diet as it can lead to malnutrition and other potential issues, please consult your vet for specific diet recommendations.

The needs of each parakeet are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the parakeet you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

We’re not sure what this pup is mixed with, but we think they will likely be on the larger side. Like all pups, they will need their family to teach them all the doggie basics like walking on a leash and housetraining.

Let an adoption team member know if you’d like us to help sign you up during the adoption process.

This mouse came to us from an overpopulated home, and is generally undersocialized. This mouse may do best with an mouse companion (preferably a well socialized mouse already in the home), and will need patience as it re-adapts to a home and learns to interact with people.

Mice are nocturnal, very acrobatic and talented adventures. They can even jump up to a foot and a half! Mice can be very skittish, but with patience and care can make wonderful companions. Mice can get along in same-sex groups but each is unique so we recommend being prepared to separate them if required. We prefer that mice, especially females, are housed with or nearby other mice as inter-species socialization can be vital to an animal’s happiness and mimicking their natural needs.

We recommend a 10 gallon or larger tank filled with about ¼” of paper bedding or other nesting material. Nesting material should be loose, light, easy to manipulate, and of course safe. Enclosures should be well ventilated but kept out of direct drafts, and should provide plenty of enclosed opaque shelters for the mice to retreat into as desired. Enclosures should provide lots of enrichment for the mice to meet their natural needs in the areas of chewing/gnawing, physical movement, resting/hiding, and nesting material or food to forage.
