If you’re looking to add a little sass and a lot of sweetness to your life, look no further than Fred! This 3 year old kiddo has been worried at the shelter, but given time and patience to adjust, he’s sure to show you his silly and playful sides! Fred has a positive but limited history with dogs, so may be able to go home with a mellow dog companion that has some cat experience under their belt.

Fred has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), a bloodborne illness in cats that may weaken their immune system over time. Some cats with FIV may not show symptoms, but it will be important to establish ongoing care with a vet after adoption to ensure that this kiddo is feeling his best.

Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Fred – Fiv+. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - 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!

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.

* If you think you are a good fit, stop by Tues-Sun from 1-4 during our open hours! For more information on our adoption process, please visit www.mspca.org/capeadoptionprocess .

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.

Meet Indigo, a sweet, slightly shy senior pittie who enjoys naps, calm companionship, and being close to her people. She’s an easygoing, affectionate dog who would do best in a quiet, low-key home. Indigo has a few manageable medical needs and will need a future knee surgery, but she’s otherwise a gentle, content companion. She could live with a respectful dog who understands her shy tendencies, would do best in a cat-free home, and looking for humans who can practice calm, considerate interactions. If you’re searching for a relaxed, loving dog who’s happy to take life at a slower pace, Indigo may be the perfect fit.

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!

Lolli is a happy, playful girl who loves her people! She`s smart,
responds well to positive training, and enjoys leashed walks followed by a
good snuggle. Lolli prefers the company of human friends to canine ones and
wants to be your only dog. While Lolli wants to be an only-dog at her new
home, we do think she could potentially live with a dog-savvy cat after
slow intros. And while we don`t know if Lolli has lived in a home with kids
before, we think should could do well with children who can read and
understand dog body language.

If you think Lolli 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.

Gilligan is a sweet, sensitive pup with a heart full of love and a whole lot of energy. At first, he can be a little unsure around new people — strangers make him nervous — but with a little time, patience, and kindness, he opens up into a goofy, playful companion.

He’s energetic, curious, and always ready for fun. He’s currently working hard on his manners and would thrive with someone who can continue guiding him with consistent, positive reinforcement.

Gilligan would do best in a calm, structured home with patient adopters. If you’re looking for a high energy companion to join you on hikes or on a run, Gilligan could be your guy!

This rat is part of a large surrender from an overcrowded home. These rats can be sweet and playful once comfortable but many of them are undersocialized and can be very frightened/avoidant of people. These rats will do best with rat-experienced adopters that are comfortable with aiding them in becoming more social & confident. We have limited history of the group in their previous home, but know that they can be big chewers! As such they will need lots of appropriate chewing (and other) enrichment available to help them channel excise energy in an appropriate manner.

Rats are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! Due to the highly social nature of rats we prefer to match them with homes with existing rats, or to adopters looking to take home two or more rats. Rats can be food driven (and great foragers!) making them excellent animals to train. We always recommend the use of positive reinforcement training with your animals, and are happy to provide more information on this topic.

We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows the rat plenty of space to exercise. The minimum cage size should be 2’x2.5’x2’, with good ventilation (no glass enclosures) and must have a solid base. Preferably the shelter includes multiple levels, with appropriate use of linens or paper bedding and lots of rat appropriate toys. Rats should never be housed with other animals, each species should always have its own housing.

The needs of each rat are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rat 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.
