We Have Been Waiting

While many animals are adopted quickly, we often times have wonderful cats, dogs, and small animals who wait in the adoption center for weeks, sometimes months, hoping to find someone to take them home. Each day they wait, passed over for the cute kitten in the cage next to them or the dog that knows more tricks than they were taught. Our hearts break for these animals - they have so much to offer but get passed over each day for someone else. Perhaps you are the person they have been waiting so long for? Please come in to the adoption center today and meet the animals below who have been waiting the longest at the adoption, waiting for someone with a big heart like you!

Joi (waiting since July 27th) 1 year old, Spayed Female, Pit Bull Mix Hi There! My name is Joi! I came to the MSPCA when I was one day old. I was bottle fed by a great foster mom and adopted at 8 weeks. Unfortunately, the family who adopted me was not able to handle my size and energy so they brought me back I'm hoping to get it right this time! I am a VERY fast learner. I love everyone and I'm super friendly. I lived with a 3 year old in my previous home, but I'm a rambunctious puppy, so I may do better with kids who are a bit older in my new home. I am great with other dogs! I can go home with one if we meet first and get along. I've never lived with a cat before, but check in with staff if you're interested in finding out if I could. I need a lot of exercise to keep me happy and healthy! I was house trained in my previous home but may need a refreshed when I get home. I am extremely smart and I learn very quickly. I am required to go to Beginner's Obedience here at the adoption center so that I can get the training that I want and need.
Casey (waiting since November 6th) Neutered Male, 13 years old Hi, I'm Casey! I came to the MSPCA because my previous owner is moving and can't take me. I'm a happy, easygoing guy and I think you and I will get along great! I'm so mellow; nothing really bothers me! With the cold weather upon us, wouldn't you like a warm, cuddly companion on your lap while you sip hot cocoa in front of the fire? I love to sit on laps, be petted, and picked up! The staff at the MSPCA are friendly, but I'd really like a new home to call my own. Could it be yours? I have a history of living with older children (ages 12, 14, and 20) and I think I would do well in a home with children who are teens or young adults. I also lived with a small dog before and my previous owner said I was very relaxed around the dog. Still, if you have a dog at home please introduce us slowly and carefully.
Rocket (waiting since July 2nd) 9 month old, Intact Male Hi, I'm Rocket, a 7 month old male english spot rabbit. I'm a curious guy who loves his hay! I was brought here because my previous owner had too many rabbits to properly care for. Come in and meet me, I know we will get along great.
Doves (waiting since September 17) We have 4 beautiful doves waiting for a home. Their previous owner surrendered them because he thought we were too much work. Please consider adopting me! Dove facts: Doves can live up to 20 years if well cared for. Doves are gentle birds who coo softly to each other and to their human companions. They are quiet and calming pets. Doves are ground feeders, so food and water should be provided near the bottom of their cage. Doves eat seeds and can be fed finch mix, cockatiel mix or wild bird seed. Doves also like vegetables, cooked rice, leafy vegetables, peanut butter, grated cheese, and mashed hard boiled eggs.
