New animals are placed up for adoption daily. You can follow us on Instagram and Facebook where we frequently post pictures of animals up for adoption!
- We are currently scheduling appointments for adoption during the COVID-19 outbreak. Please call if you see an animal you are interested in adopting to schedule an appointment.
Things to bring
- Valid photo ID.
- Homeowners: Bring a document that proves you own your home (mortgage bill, tax bill, water bill, or deed). Please check your homeowner’s insurance policy for any coverage restrictions pertaining to the breed of dog you wish to own.
- Renters: Bring a copy of your lease and the contact information for your landlord. We recommend you speak with your landlord or property manager ahead of time to make sure you receive clearance to adopt a new pet.
- Other Pets? Bring information about your veterinarian (the clinic name and phone number) and a copy of your pets’ current vaccination/healthcare records. This helps us ensure that everyone is healthy and ready for the addition of a new pet family member.

MSPCA Adoption Philosophy
The MSPCA believes the human-animal bond is important to promote and preserve. We seek to help potential adopters form new bonds that bring the joy and comfort of companionship for both pet and human guardian.
Our adoption program is designed to be welcoming, nonjudgmental, and free of lengthy applications. We strive to engage all prospective adopters in a conversation aimed at matching an adopter’s lifestyle, interests and home environment with an animal’s personality, medical and behavioral needs. Adopting an animal is an extraordinary opportunity to choose your newest family member. At the MSPCA it is a great privilege for our staff and volunteers to guide that journey for adopters and animals.
As we help to build life-long relationships between adopters and the animals in our care, we also hope to build a life-long relationship between adopters and the MSPCA. We consider our adopters to be a part of the MSPCA Family; our staff is available to offer guidance and suggestions during the pet’s transition to his or her new home and throughout the pet’s lifetime.
