Meet Dakota! This pint-sized little peanut is ready to snuggle his way right to your heart! Since arrival at the MSPCA Dakota has quickly become a staff and volunteer favorite. Though he never had any formal training, the team at Nevins has begun to work with him and he is becoming an old pro lunging in tack, and boy is he a cute mover! Recently we have started putting a rider up in the saddle and Dakota is taking it in stride. At his size he will require a petite rider and someone who has experience with restarting or will do so under a trainer’s supervision. Given his current training level, he is not ready to be a children’s pony yet. This boy loves to work and may also make a nice project for someone who enjoys a lot of ground work or is interested in training to drive. He is generally quite unflappable so has the temperament to make the most adorable driving pony ever!
Dakota was gelded in April 2023 and may still exhibit some stud-like behaviors for awhile. He has begun turning out with another gelding, and is enjoying the companionship. He has been turned out and stalled near mares but is not ready to share a paddock with any at this time. Dakota is up to date on all vet and farrier care and does very well for both.
If you are interested in adopting Dakota and would like to learn more about him please fill out an inquiry by clicking the “inquire” button above!

Sebastian is a handsome male Muscovy duck who is looking for a flock of his own! He grew up with his brothers Ferguson and Barnaby, but now that they are full grown they would all do best as the single male in a flock of females.
Most Muscovy ducks can fly and like to perch up high, but these boys have angel wing (a defect from poor nutrition at a young age) and cannot fly. You wont see them soaring around or perching in the rafters, but that means they can easily integrate into an exiting flock of ducks who also cannot fly!
Meet Babe! This lovable pig is ready to find his special home. Babe loves spending time laying around his pen, laying in his wallow on hot days, or munching on snacks. Given his lazier personality, Babe needs to have his diet carefully monitored. He takes a while to warm up to new people but once he does, he likes to spend time with his people. Babe would love to find a home where he can take his time settling in and not rushing into new situations. His new home would also help him continue his weight loss journey so he can live a healthy life. If you think Babe would be a good fit for your family, submit an adoption inquiry!

If you have a soft spot for off-track thoroughbreds, look no further than Faith! Her lip tattoo is hard to make out so we don’t have a full picture of her racing life, but she came off the track into a loving home and had a successful second career under saddle. She has been out of work for a few years now, and we have just started her back in work with lunging and long-lining with the goal of getting her strong enough to carry a rider again. She lunges beautifully and has big floaty gaits!
This gorgeous girl does best with as much turn out as possible – a 24/7 in and out situation would be her dream come true, but she is calm in a stall with day time turn out as well. She currently has front shoes on and is comfortable and sound with that support. She has been turned out with both mares and geldings since she has been in our care and she is one of the most socially adept horses we’ve ever had. She is friends with just about every horse she meets!
She stands patiently for the vet, farrier, grooming, and bathing – she’ll even let you wash her face! She would do best with an experienced owner/handler to help give her calm confidence and guidance. She is willing to please and will follow your lead. If you love OTTBs as much as we do, you will fall in love with Faith!

Meet young puppy Juliette! Juliette is happy, bouncy, and full of life!
Juliette loves her friends over at the shelter and has been our latest
little puppy project. Thus far in our care, Juliette is working hard at
practicing her polite greetings, comfortably navigating the world on leash,
and using her little puppy mouth in appropriate ways all by the means of
force-free, positively reinforced interactions. We are looking for adopters
willing to take on this little lady who will require a bit more support
than your average puppy while she continues to learn the ropes of life!
Juliette is a bit worried about dogs, and would prefer to be the only pup
in the home. Juliette has a history of living with a cat that she was
pretty interested in playing with, so any cats involved in her life should
be dog-savvy, and comfortable with a high-energy pup! Juliette is looking
to join a home with adults only at this time to best set her on the track
to continue practicing being her best self in a lower traffic home.
If our smart cookie Juliette sounds like the pup for you, please head to
the Methuen MSPCA location Tuesday-Sunday between the hours of 12PM-3PM!
Meet Pumba! This lovable pig lives up to his namesake as the friendliest warthog around, though do not worry we promise he is still a potbelly pig and not an actual warthog! Pumba loves to show you his sit to get a treat and will follow you around until you indulge him in some forehead scratches and belly rubs.
Pumba is currently a bit underweight and has some tough dry skin that we are working to get under control. Hes been hard at work gaining some weight and muscle again and staff would be happy to chat with you about his medical needs going forward but adopters should plan to have a good relationship with their (pig) veterinarian!
Like all pigs, Pumba will need room to roam, graze, root, and wallow. A proper pig proof enclosure and fencing is a must with access to an indoor space for shelter as needed. Pumba may be able to live with other pigs and farm animals but slow introductions are always recommended.
Interested in learning more about Pumba? Fill out an adoption inquiry but clicking the Inquire button and a staff member will reach out to discuss!
Meet Pansy, Sadie, Albany, April Ann, and Britney Spears! This crew of refined, older ladies would love to stay together as a herd or join other groups of existing goats as long as they are able to live with older, horned females. Don’t let their ages fool you! This group will entertain you endlessly with their silly antics and love to run and jump all over their rocky hill and pasture.
These girls are up to date on all of their medical needs but will need routine maintenance moving forward for things like hoof trims and yearly vaccines. Interested in adding a hilarious and sweet group of goats to your home? Fill out an adoption form by clicking the “Inquire” button and a staff member will reach out to discuss!

If you think you are a good fit 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.
*Before coming to the adoption center, we ask that you have a housing unit ready, in case you end up finding an animal you’d like to adopt. Mice need a minimum 12”x12”x20” wire cage or 20 gallon aquarium for 1-3 mice (ideally with mesh topper and multiple levels).
For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/
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. A properly sized wheel or disc is a necessity for the mice to meet their exercise needs.
The needs of each mouse are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the mouse you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.
