Looking for a cat who won’t demand constant attention? Whiskers has you covered. He enjoys quiet spaces, personal boundaries, and being admired from a respectful distance. Once he settles in, he may surprise you by becoming your low-key best friend. Until then, he’ll be busy perfecting the art of avoiding awkward small talk.
Meet Beowoof! This handsome ‘warrior’ is anything but and is really just a big smushy meatball! While most of Beowoof’s history is unknown, we do know he loves to run and play, but can get a bit carried away if his time is not structured, so could use some help refining his manners. He would benefit from a family who can help to meet all of his excercise needs, while also ensuring there are plenty of opportunities for him to learn to settle and relax in his new home!
If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.
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) theyre 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.
Meet Monty, a handsome 3 year old pup that’s on the hunt for his new home! This sweet and sensitive boy is on the shyer side, and takes a while to get used to new people and environments. He’s likely to be a bit of a homebody to start, and will thrive in a quiet home where he can decompress and adjust at his own pace. Once he warms up to his people, Monty is an absolute love, and will be a wonderful addition to a patient and caring home! Monty is also a certified chew toy fiend, and would love to have lots of toys and enrichment to work on in the home!
Monty could go home with kids that can help support him in the home by letting him have space when he needs some alone time. He has been more selective with his dog friends at the shelter, but might like to go home with a well-matched, confident dog that won’t be bothered while Monty practices his dog skills. He hasn’t lived with cats before, but may be able to go home with a dog-savvy cat companion with a slow introduction.

If you’ve always wanted backyard goats, look no further! We have two adorable little does – Poppy and Butternut – who are looking for a new home together.
These gals should be a closed herd due to some potential disease exposure, but that also makes them great for folks who are newer to farm animals or have just recently gained the capacity to adopt. This does mean that if you already have goats (or other ruminants) on your property, these goats would not be the best fit for you.
They will require a fenced in area with appropriate shelter for inclement weather. Since goats are considered livestock, you will need to check with your town to make sure they are allowed in your area. We’re here to support you and answer whatever questions you may have, so please reach out if you think you could offer a loving home to some of these wonderful goats!
*Please be sure your town regulations allow for roosters on your property before you inquire about adoption!*
Roosters for hire! We have so many good boys hanging out in our bachelor pad waiting for a flock of ladies of their very own. Our roosters are respectful of people and social with other birds – they are ready to do their job of protecting your hens! We have a wide variety of sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Roosters are full of personality and make great additions to any hobby flock!
Please reach out if you have room in your coop by clicking Inquire or Meet Me to fill out an application. Farm bird adopters are also welcome to drop in during our shelter open hours each week Tuesday – Sunday between 12 and 4:30 PM (closed Mondays).

Sahara is a unique and sensitive soul looking for a patient adopter who will let her settle in at her own pace. She enjoys attention when she’s comfortable but also appreciates her independence. Sahara has hyperesthesia syndrome, which can cause her to occasionally bite at her tail or feet, especially during stressful transitions. With a quiet space and understanding, she has shown she can relax over time. She’ll thrive in a low-traffic home with someone committed to reading her body language and working with a Fear Free vet. If you’re ready to give Sahara the time and support she needs, she could be the perfect match for you!
****This pet is currently spending time in a foster home. If you would like to learn more about them and set up a time to meet them, please email neasfoster@mspca.org****
My previous owner found me as a stray around a year ago hanging around the outside of her house. She states that I was slightly fearful and hid the first few days, but I very quickly warmed up to her.
My nickname is `purro` because I like to purr a lot, and when I am called that, I will roll over for belly rubs! I do well around teenagers, and when visitors arrive I may hide for a few minutes, but then come out to say hi. I have good litter box manners!
I used to cuddle with the other cat in my home, and I liked to follow my previous owner around the house to just hang out together. I have lived with dogs, and enjoyed spending time with them.
Stop by our Nevins Farm Adoption Center to meet Panther. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm- 4:30pm – no appointment is needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

This mouse came to us from an overpopulated home, and is generally undersocialized. This mouse may do best with an mouse companion (preferably a well socialized mouse already in the home), and will need patience as it re-adapts to a home and learns to interact with people.
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.

If you’ve always wanted backyard goats, look no further! We have several goats who are looking for new homes.
Goats are very social animals and these Mini LaManchas get along quite well, so we are aiming to send them home as a group but are open to sending them home in pairs depending on what you’re looking for! If you already have a herd, we recommend these goats go home with other horned goats.
They will require a fenced in area with appropriate shelter for inclement weather. Since goats are considered livestock, you will need to check with your town to make sure they are allowed in your area. We’re here to support you and answer whatever questions you may have, so please reach out if you think you could offer a loving home to some of these wonderful goats!
This rat is part of a group of undersocialized rats from an overcrowding situation. He can be friendly but is currently very shy around people and will will need a patient adopter who can work with him to be more comfortable around people. He may do best with another well matched more social male rat.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 give us a call!
