Shelter life has been a little overwhelming, so Phineas has been coping the only way he knows how…snacking his way through it.
Stress? Snack.
Bored? Snack.
Someone walked by? Probably snack.

He’s looking for a calm, patient home where he can finally relax (and maybe discover hobbies that aren’t food-related).
Phineas prefers to initiate affection—he’s a consent is key kind of guy—and will do best with adopters who can read his cues and give him space when he needs it.

With time, understanding, and a steady routine, Phineas has the potential to be a really special companion—equal parts sensitive soul and snack enthusiast—he just needs a chance to feel safe again.

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Phineas. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - 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!

This bouncy girl is full or spunk! She is very smart, and is doing great as she begins her work on her manners. She is looking for someone who is dedicated to using positive reinforcement training to continue this work so she can shine
in her new home! Her favorite things include long sniffy walks, and romping around the yard with stuffy toys. Once she is comfortable, she is also a great snuggle partner.

Marshmallow has a pretty forward & pushy approach when interacting with other dogs, and should be the only dog in the home. Once her family gets to know her more, she can potentially have dog friends with slower introductions. This happy girl is still honing in her housebreaking skills, and would need a puppy proofed space to slowly acclimate to house life! Your new adventure buddy awaits, come see her today!

If you think Marshmallow 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.

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!

* If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, please click on the blue Inquire link above and fill out the form, or submit an inquiry at mspca.org/nevinsadopt. If you just want to browse in person feel free to stop by during our open hours.

* Can’t adopt right now, but want to help animals? If you are in a position to give, please consider making a gift of any size to help us provide essential services to animals in need, at www.mspca.org/nevinsgift.

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.

This sensitive shy lady is Baby Grey, a 2 year old cat looking for a new home.

Baby Grey can be worried when interacting with new people or environments, and she’s been through a lot of pretty scary transitions recently, so she’s finding shelter life to be overwhelming. She’s hoping to go to a lower-traffic home where she can work on adjusting and building confidence at her own pace.

Because she’s fearful, Baby Grey will do best with a family able to practice petting consent – meaning, letting her be the one to initiate interactions, and offering breaks when petting or grooming to ensure he’s still opting in.

If you’re looking to open your home up to a beautiful gal who’s likely to need a gentler start, then come on down to chat with us about Baby Grey! She currently lives in an office away from the main adoption area, so ask staff about her when you get here!

Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Baby Grey. 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!

Meet Arthur, a 3 year old Husky with a heart full of potential. We have limited history on him, but know that he was living in a bubble, meaning he was not meeting strangers or other dogs, and is very fearful as a result–Arthur can be shy and uncertain of the world around him, but with patience and a gentle approach to training, he is learning that the world is not so scary.

As Arthur has an abnormal background, he is looking for an adopter who can offer him a calm, low-traffic environment where he can continue to grow and learn. He will need someone who’s ready to teach him all the basics, such as housebreaking, walking on a leash, and general manners, using positive reinforcement training (Arthur loves snacks and is very smart, so he’s a great training buddy!). As Arthur is worried and has a lot he’s working on, he says no thank you to living with other pets for now, please!

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