Blanche is a shy female rat who can been nervous in the shelter, but has a good history of living with other female rats. She will do best in a home that has an existing female rat that is confident and outgoing that can serve as both a companion and role model for Blanche. She will likely benefit from having a rat saavy adopter that can help her adjust slowly to the home and being more social with people.

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.

Chonce & Chance are a bonded pair! This pair is friendly and can be social once they have had time to warm up and get comfortable. They are on the older side and would do best with adopters that can provide them a quieter setting for relaxing, but also have lots of enrichment and social oppurtunities available if they want are interested.

Chinchillas can be smart, inquisitive and loving, and can even live up to 20 years! These animals are very active, and their acrobatics can be very entertaining! As social creatures, chinchillas should always be housed with same-sex companions except for a behavioral or medical reason. Chinchillas must be provided with lots of chewing enrichment to keep their teeth properly worn down.

We recommend a large solid floored, multi-level cage similar to those made for ferrets or chinchillas. Paper bedding or other appropriate nesting material (wood shaving are NOT appropriate) should be provided to allow the chinchilla to dig, stockpile food and nest. The cage must include a solid (no rungs) exercise wheel and houses or other structures for the chinchilla to hide in. Chinchillas bathe using a dust bath and should be provided a shallow bowl of dust several times a week. Cages should always be well ventilated but kept away from direct sunlight, and drafts. Timothy hay is an important piece of a chinchilla’s diet and must always be available.

The needs of each chinchilla are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the chinchilla you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

But unlike a Jeep, Wrangler has a personality to match his nice exterior he`s intelligent, eager to learn, and always happy to see his human friends.

Bluey came to us as a stray so we have no history of what they are like in a home. Bluey will need to live with other parakeets in his/her next home.

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.

Milo is a sweet, affectionate friend that will make a lovely companion for right adopter. He will need someone patient, understanding of his history, committed to him being the only pet in the home, and able to follow a strict plan for a slow introduction to the house to help him be as successful as possible. His Ideal adopters will express an understanding that patience is the name of the game here, and that Milo will do best going as slow as possible.
Milo is recently diagnosed diabetic and will need continued vet visits while he becomes regulated. See medical disclosures for more info!
Milo has a grade 4/6 heart murmur. A heart murmur is an abnormal sound to the heart which can either indicate underlying heart disease or can be benign. An echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) is the only way to determine the significance of a heart murmur. Some heart conditions may require monitoring and medications, while others may not require treatment. Some heart conditions will worsen over time and some will not. It is recommended that the adopter see their primary care veterinarian to discuss further testing for the heart murmur.
Henri has evidence of moderate dental disease and may benefit from dental cleaning, which may or may not include tooth extractions of the more severely affected teeth. Sedated oral exam or dental radiographs are needed to determine if extractions are indicated at this time. Follow up with a primary care veterinarian is recommended for ongoing dental health recommendations.
Milo will need a slow introduction into his new home. He will need to start out in a pee-proof space, ideally a small, single room. This can be a small bedroom or larger bathroom or walk-in closet, but would ideally be a space where he can comfortably decompress after his transition out of the original home and shelter stay. The space should be easy to clean with enzymatic cleaners if an accident should happen. Adopters should be comfortable with confining Milo in his space for as long as it takes for him to be displaying calm confident, affiliative body language and be using his litter box 100% reliably for several days in a row. Adopters should plan for no less than two weeks, but it could take longer for him to settle in and use the box reliably.
Once Milo is ready to move beyond the initial confinement space, adopters should be prepared to give slow/incremental access to the rest of the home. This may involve small outings into the rest of the house with most doors closed, or simply allowing for access to one additional room at a time over the course of a few weeks (or longer).
Compatibility:
Dogs: No thank you!
Cats: No thank you!
Kids: No thank you!
If you think Milo could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Nevin`s 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.

This little girl with the amazing ears is Lulu. She is a transport puppy from down South and is ready to find a family of her own. While Lulu can be very cuddly with her new best friends, she can also be nervous with new people or places. She really does want to be brave, it is just hard. She will need a patient adopter who can help her out when she feels overwhelmed. Lulu would do best if she lived with an older helper dog who could give her some confidence. Or with a cat who can handle a silly puppy. And Lulu would do well in a family with children who provide her with support and consistency. Does this little sweet pea sound like the dog for you? Lulu hopes so!

If you’ve always wanted backyard goats, look no further! We have several does who are looking for new homes.

Goats are herd animals and need the company of other goats to be healthy and happy. We are looking for adopters who can take at least a pair of goats or have an existing herd at home that they’d like to expand.

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!

Sophie is a statuesque red thoroughbred mare – she really is eye catching! Her Jockey Club name is Sophie’s Illusion. She is affectionate with people and a wonderful participant and patient for any vet care, farrier care, grooming, etc. She stands like a statue!

She came off the track at age 5 with some noticeable injuries to her left hock and right fetlock, but these were investigated by our vet and she is quite sound and comfortable. Sophie was originally adopted out after her racing career ended as a light walk/trot horse, but based on her age and the bony changes in her legs, we are recommending her for a companion-only home. She is simply stunning to look at out in a pasture!

We currently have Sophie turned out with another mare and she is second in the herd order in that duo. We have a lot of mares in our care right now, so haven’t introduced her to a gelding yet, but she seems to really enjoy and take comfort in the companionship of other horses and loves being turned out with a friend.

She can live out 24/7 or stall overnight with day time turn out. She has been quite flexible! She is in a great body condition and is maintaining that well with a moderate amount of grain and a mixture of first and second cut hay. She leads quietly in a plain halter and cotton lead rope and we are super proud of how she has acclimated to shelter life. We have dogs, cows, goats, pigs, you name it around here and she is taking it all in stride. Being loved by a mare like her would be truly something special – she’s very sweet, but also a bit discerning, so we know that when she falls in love it will be the real deal!

Interested in meeting Sophie? Please fill out an adoption inquiry and a staff member will be in touch!

Jinxie is her name and cozy is her game! This gal knows about the important things in life – tempur-pedic beds and tasty treats. When Jinxie first arrived, she was pretty nervous, but after moving into an office, she’s really blossomed and shown us that underneath the initial fearful behavior (sometimes including swatting…) lies a girl that just has higher standards than a kennel with mediocre furniture. She’s no longer afraid, but still prioritizes her comfy bed over her human companions. She leaves her bed to be petted, but the jury is still out on if she is doing that because she *wants* to be pet, or because she feels bad for us pathetic humans who want to win her over and is just throwing us a bone.

Come meet Jinxie – she will either continue to have discerning taste in a home, or will blossom into the ultimate lap cat. If you’re up for either outcome – feeling mediocre yourself or having a cuddly companion, Jinxie is your gal!
