Breed: Arabian

Adoption fee: $250*
*Adoption fees are subject to change based on current specials and may increase with training.

If you’re a fan of the Arabian breed, you will love our two gray girls – Shania and Sky! Sky is a stunning snow-white mare with really dainty and refined features.

Sky has lived with her sister Shania for her whole life, so the two of them are quite bonded. They are able to stall separately as long as they are close to one another, and over time we think they would benefit from some periods of separation just for their own well-being. We are open to placing these two mares together or separately depending on the situation and the progress we are able to make in creating some distance between them while they are at Nevins.

Sky has always been on the leaner side but has lost more weight recently. After her initial work up with our veterinarian, we discovered some potential problems with her teeth. She was recently seen by an equine dental specialist and will have some special considerations now for the rest of her life. She is on a soaked diet and will need a daily mouth rinse, which she is excellent for! Sky’s adopter should have a good relationship with their veterinarian and ideally an equine dental specialist as well. Staff would be happy to discuss her needs in further detail with any potential adopter!

Sky has been out of ridden work for about 10 years now, but she is a really fast learner and has a lot of earnest try. She couldn’t quite remember how to lunge when we first asked her, but by the end of the session she was able to walk and trot in both directions in a nice circle! She is super sensitive and responsive which is a dream if you can capture that energy and channel it toward the right answer. While we think she is past her riding days now, especially while we focus on her overall health, she is such a fun girl to be around and take on an adventure. We often go for hand walks with some grazing time with her and her sister Shania, and they are truly so nice just to be around. If you are looking to enjoy horse ownership and have a passion for caring for animals with some special needs, look no further than these incredibly special mares.

Interested in Sky? Please fill out an adoption application!

We conduct adoptions for horses, chickens, and all farm animals on an appointment basis only. Fill out an Inquiry for a Horse or Farm Animal.

This dove is part of a large surrender that came to us in part due to overcrowding. They did not receive a lot of socialization so they can be shy and skittish around people, but if given enough time to adjust can be lovely companions. They are currently living in groups and do well with other doves.

Doves can be tamed but tend to be more “hands off” birds. They tend to vocalize throughout the day with a “coo”, dissimilar to the screeching or whistling of many other birds. Doves can be found around the world, and can live up to 10 years with proper nutrition and care. We recommend that doves live in pairs or groups whenever possible.

We recommend a cage that is at least 32”x23” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ?-¾” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of flat surfaces to perch on, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Unlike many other species of birds, doves are unable to climb up cage bars, and tend to move back and forth making a wider cage more appealing to them. Doves should be provided with regular opportunities for bathing, and unlike parrots require grit as part of their regular diet to aid in digestion.

The needs of each dove are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the dove you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

* If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, or if you just want to browse in person feel free to stop by during our open hours.

* If you are not ready to adopt, but are in a position to donate, please visit www.mspca.org/nevinsgift .

Many housing units sold in pet stores are too small for the behavioral needs of a bird. If you looking to purchase housing, visit our web page for recommendations on the best housing for birds.

Meet Myles! This sensitive boy lived a pretty sheltered life before coming to us, so he’ll need a patient adopter who can help him settle in and learn how to be successful in a home at his own pace. New people and environments can be a bit scary for Myles, so he would do best in a low-traffic home and quiet neighborhood that he can explore as he grows comfortable. Myles could live with a well-matched dog that can show him the ropes, potentially cats, and older children who can practice some shy dog skills.

Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Myles. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Meet Mitzi! They have been waiting patiently at the shelter for their perfect adopter to come along. She is worried, and sweet, so we’re taking it slow as we get to know them and allowing them to build up confidence at their own pace. Mitzi is looking for a patient adopter who can give her a quiet, low traffic home to settle into.

Mitzi is what we call a spirit cat, and if you adopt them, you probably wouldn’t even notice they are in your house if it weren’t for the mysterious overnight disappearance of cat food. We often can’t predict how a spirit cat will be after they settle in – some become comfortable around their family and choose to spend time with them by sharing the same space or allowing some petting, while others continue to prefer to hide when there’s any commotion. Spirit cats generally prefer to spend their time around other cats and make an excellent kitty friend to a cat already in the home. Our staff can help prepare adopters to welcome a spirit cat into a quiet home, but patience and understanding will go a long way with Mitzi!

Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Mitzi. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Finches have a wonderful voice, and can be a joy to watch, but tend not to be a “hands on” bird. Native to Australia, finches can live up to 10 years with proper nutrition and care. We recommend that finches live in pairs or groups whenever possible.

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. As a result of finches being a “hands off” bird they tend to spend much of their lives inside their cage, so we heavily recommend investing in a very spacious cage with lots of enrichment.

The needs of each finch are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the finch you are interested in, please give us a call! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Say hello to Freya! This petite pittie packs a lot of energy into a small frame. She is smart and sweet and loves people. She also loves her toys. Freya is hoping for a family that is both active and is also happy to share the couch for cuddles. Just know that no one has told Freya about personal space. This good girl is a fast learner and would do most anything for a piece of cheese. Since Freya was a transport dog from down South, we have no back history for her. She could possibly live with another dog or cat using a slow introduction. Children should be old enough to participate in Freyas training plan. Freya is such a fun dog. Does she sound like the dog for you?

If you think Freya 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.

Say hello to Jax! Jax is a sweet, young guy who loves playing with toys. He is house trained, crate trained, and loves to train! That is because he just so smart. Jax has a good history of living with another dog and having dog walking buddies. And he could probably live with children old enough to help with his training. However, he prefers not to live with cats. This good boy can take some time warming up to new people. Once he knows you, he is snuggly and enjoys just hanging out. Jax is looking for a patient understanding family who will help him learn to settle on his own. He was working on this in his previous home and was starting to get the hang of it. He hopes to continue this training so he can become the very best dog. He really is smart enough to do that! Jax is such a good dog. Does he sound like the dog for you?

Gamma is an energetic, goofy, and sweet boy with a big personality.

Gamma is looking for an active home that enjoys fun, routine, and spending time together. As he settles in, he will benefit from some decompression time, basic training, and help with manners. With patient, consistent humans who are ready to support him, Gamma has the potential to be a wonderful and rewarding companion — and he’d love to meet you!

Maple arrived to us with her companion, Hamilton. They were both living as indoor pigs and shared spaces with kids and dogs. Maple adjusted quite well to our Pig Barn and has been spending lots of time outside. She is a very sweet girl who enjoys human interaction. Maple does know how to wear a pig harness, though she does like to choose her own direction.

Maple would love to find a home with her buddy Hamilton, where they can take their time settling in and not rushing into new situations. If you think Maple would be a good fit for your family, submit an adoption inquiry!

Blessings is pretty excitable, so her adopter should continue her training and help her learn to settle down for quiet time. Once she’s ready for a nap, she loves nesting in big cozy blankets.

Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion! 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!
