Many housing units sold in pet stores are too small for the behavioral needs of Guinea Pigs. If you looking to purchase housing, visit our web page for recommendations on the best housing for small animals.
Meet Toph, a young and adorable female guinea pig looking for her next adventure. Toph is a girl that enjoys lounging in a pile of hay,nibbling on big lettuce leaves, and listening to soothing classical music. Toph used to be bonded to her sister Suki, but the pair began fighting several months ago. While their owners did everything they could to support these girls, they were unable to successfully reunite them fully. They are here at our shelter living side by side as neighbors with a wire divider between them. If they are adopted together, they are looking for skilled guinea pig owners that could support these sisters through their complex behavioral needs. We are also open to fully sperating them and sending them home to be only children in their new family. Please come in and talk to a staff member about either of these ladies if you are interested in helping them on their journey!
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Toph. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Budgerigars, the most common parakeet we see, are native to Australia where they live in massive flocks in the grasslands. Parakeets tend to be docile, gentle, can be easy to tame and can even talk! Despite their small size, these birds can have large vocabularies and can make a wonderful training companion. We recommend that parakeets live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Parakeets can live up to 7-15 years with proper nutrition and care, and can be a loyal companion.
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. Nests can be provided but should be removed if any females begin to lay eggs. We do not recommend a seed only diet as it can lead to malnutrition and other potential issues, please consult your vet for specific diet recommendations.
The needs of each parakeet are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the parakeet you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

This rat is part of a large surrender so we have less individual information about them. The group of females have a good history living with other females, and are social with people. They tolerate handling, but may still benefit from additional socialization, and an adopter that understands it may take them some time to warm up to their new home and the people in it. These rats will need to go home in pairs (or more) or to a home with existing female rats to have as companion.
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.

*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! Roosters are full of personality and make great additions to any hobby flock!
Squash & Butternut are a bonded pair of male guinea pigs! The pair came to us as strays so we have very limited information on them, but while at the shelter they have been good for handling, and like all guinea pigs enjoy their treats!
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!

Hamilton arrived to us with his companion, Maple. They were both living as indoor pigs and shared spaces with kids and dogs. Hamilton adjusted quite well to our Pig Barn and has been spending lots of time outside, especially in his wallow. Hamilton does know how to wear a pig harness!
Hamilton takes a little bit of time to warm up to his people and will need someone who is familiar with pig body language to make sure he is always comfortable! He will happily flop for belly rubs once he knows you’:re one of the cool kids.
Hamilton would love to find a home with his buddy Maple, where they can take their time settling in and not rushing into new situations. If you think Hamilton would be a good fit for your family, submit an adoption inquiry!
Nole and Pepper are a pair of curious birds who are looking to find a home together. They have not had the most socialization with people, which can lead to them being a bit nippy when hands get too close. Nole and Pepper enjoy watching tv and listening to music together. They have been in the same room with other birds, but haven’t lived in the same enclosure as other birds. This pretty pair is looking for a patient family who can help them settle in at their own pace.
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Nole. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
