*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!
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).
Meet Martin! Martin is a special type of cat we lovingly call a Spirit cat! Spirit cats are very shy and prefer to spend time out of sight. New people and environments can be overwhelming at first and adopters should expect to see very little of Friendly as they are settling in. We often can’t predict how a spirit cat will be after they settle in – some become comfortable around their family and choose to spend time with them by sharing the same space or allowing some petting, while others continue to prefer to hide when there’s any commotion. Spirit cats generally prefer to spend their time around other cats and make an excellent kitty friend to a cat already in the home. Our staff can help prepare adopters to welcome a spirit cat into a quiet home, but patience and understanding will go a long way with Martin.
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Martin. 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.

Meet the sweet and sensitive, Red. This girl has had a pretty rough past, but she’s ready to start fresh. Red came from an unsafe and unsanitary enviornment where she never got to practice being a “real dog.” This means that everything outside of her previous living environment is new(and therefore, frightening) to her. She is looking for a safe place to land where she can slowly come out of her shell at her own pace- without any expectations. She would benefit from a very quiet, predictable environment where no social pressure could be put on her.

Maple arrived to us with her companion, Hamilton. They were both living as indoor pigs and shared spaces with kids and dogs. Maple adjusted quite well to our Pig Barn and has been spending lots of time outside. She is a very sweet girl who enjoys human interaction. Maple does know how to wear a pig harness, though she does like to choose her own direction.
Maple would love to find a home with her buddy Hamilton, where they can take their time settling in and not rushing into new situations. If you think Maple would be a good fit for your family, submit an adoption inquiry!
Meet O’Reilly! This sweet lady loves to snuggle up for some quality time with her people, but has been through a few big changes recently, so she’d love to go home with adopters that can give her time to settle in and adjust to her new home. She lived with another cat in her previous home, and could go home with a cat companion with a slow introduction, but says no thank you to dogs, please!
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet O’Reilly. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Meet Chloe! This girly might be shy at first, but quickly blossoms into a friendly and playful buddy. She spent some time in a foster home before joining us at the MSPCA, where she enjoyed hanging out with her people and playing with toys of all kinds (stuffies beware – she’s a shredder!). Her foster parents reported that she often sought household items to chew and destroy, so she’s looking for a patient adopter who’s prepared to set up a confinement space and manage her environment to prevent access to making the wrong choices. She’ll happily settle down with some strong toys, or a frozen Kong filled with peanut butter. She’ll thrive with an adopter who’s excited about training using positive reinforcement, and able to manage some frustration while they workshop her space.
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Chloe. 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.
Winney is a young, energetic cat who enjoys spending time at the top of her cat tree and playing with whatever she can get her paws on. Winney may need a slow transition into her new home, away from other pets and in a nice quiet area all to herself. But once she is comfortable with you, she wants all your attention. Winney will let you know when she’s not ok with being picked up, so her family needs to take it slow.

Meet Moo the moo-velous little bunny! Intelligent, adventurous, energetic, and super affectionate, this bun gets along great with children, dogs, and cats and loves being part of the herd.

Phoebe is the sweetest girl. She can be shy at first but loves cuddles and fetch when she gets to know you. She loves leisurely sniffy walks, meeting new people, and exploring. She is looking for a new home where she can decompress and learn a new routine. She enjoys other dogs who have a calm demeanor. Phoebe could live with children or cats with a thoughtful introduction. She could live with a well matched dog friend.
Meet Slim Jim! She was found as a stray, so not much is known about her past. During her stay at the shelter, she has been shy, but sweet. We are still getting to know them, but like most kittens, they will need a family to teach them all the kitten basics like socializing with people and playing with appropriate toys. They could likely go to a home with another cat who wants an annoying younger sibling to be a role model to.

Gilligan is a sweet, sensitive pup with a heart full of love and a whole lot of energy. At first, he can be a little unsure around new people — strangers make him nervous — but with a little time, patience, and kindness, he opens up into a goofy, playful companion.
He’s energetic, curious, and always ready for fun. He’s currently working hard on his manners and would thrive with someone who can continue guiding him with consistent, positive reinforcement.
Gilligan would do best in a calm, structured home with patient adopters. If you’re looking for a high energy companion to join you on hikes or on a run, Gilligan could be your guy!

Meet Maggie, a 6-year-old, 51-pound hound mix with a heart as big as her zoomies! This sweet lady loves to romp around, proudly show off her toys, and then settle in for some affectionate snuggles. While we don’t have much information about her past, Maggie is ready to start her next chapter with a family who can give her the time and patience she needs to adjust to life in a home. She’s enjoyed playing with other dogs at the shelter and may be a great match for a resident pup with a compatible play style. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion with a gentle soul, Maggie might just be your perfect match.

Meet Tyrone! Well, you might not really meet him until a fair amount of time goes by, as he’s very nervous in new situations and around strangers. He’s a cat that enjoys the company of other cats more than humans, so is hoping to go to a home with a feline friend. He’s also looking for a special person (or people) who can take things slow with him, and allow him to dictate what level of interaction he’s ok with. Are you the hero he needs?

This dove is part of a large surrender that came to us in part due to overcrowding. They did not receive a lot of socialization so they can be shy and skittish around people, but if given enough time to adjust can be lovely companions. They are currently living in groups and do well with other doves.
Doves can be tamed but tend to be more “hands off” birds. They tend to vocalize throughout the day with a “coo”, dissimilar to the screeching or whistling of many other birds. Doves can be found around the world, and can live up to 10 years with proper nutrition and care. We recommend that doves live in pairs or groups whenever possible.
We recommend a cage that is at least 32”x23” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ?-¾” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of flat surfaces to perch on, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Unlike many other species of birds, doves are unable to climb up cage bars, and tend to move back and forth making a wider cage more appealing to them. Doves should be provided with regular opportunities for bathing, and unlike parrots require grit as part of their regular diet to aid in digestion.
The needs of each dove are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the dove you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Meet Rattle, a kitten on the hunt for his new home! Rattle lived in a bubble in his previous home, where he was living successfully with other cats but not getting a lot of socialization with people. Because of this, he would love to go home with adopters that are ready to meet him where he’s at, and let him set the pace of how quickly he adjusts! He might like to go home with another cat who wants an annoying younger sibling to be a role model to.

Don’t be spooked by his name, Boo is a sweet and chatty little guy with more charm than a catnip factory!
This kitty is on a low-carb diet and is on medication to help manage his diabetes (staff can tell you more!).
