Meet Chucky! He’s a smart, active, silly guy who loves training and sniffy walks. Chucky is a foodie, and will happily settle down with a long-lasting chew after a nice walk or game of fetch. He walks great on leash with a harness, and enjoys zooming around our yards with his dog or human friends. Chucky has had mixed experiences with other dogs, and generally does well during supervised play but should ideally be the only dog in the home. If you’re excited about positive reinforcement training, have a good sense of humor, and don’t mind a bark that sounds *exactly* like a seal, Chucky could be the dog for you!

If you think Chucky 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.

Look at this little sweet pea! Avon is friendly and silly and playful and
just all around adorable. Is that not exactly what everyone wants in a
puppy? At any moment, this little girl will crawl on your lap, or pounce
on a toy, or do a full assault on your shoe laces. Be prepared!

Avon would love to go to a home with a confident dog that can both show her
the ropes and also deal with all that a puppy entails. Cats are a
possibility, if your cat can handle a silly puppy. And kids who want to
play endless games of tug would be perfect. A puppy brings so much love
into a household. They also bring some work. First thing will be to puppy
proof the house. Avon is such a baby, she will need to learn everything,
starting with how to wear a collar and leash. The rewards are worth all
the work!

Would you like to meet Avon? Come see her at the MSPCA in Boston on
Tuesdays through Sundays from 12PM to 3:00PM.

Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Avon. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

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.

* If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, or if you just want to browse in person feel free to stop by during our open hours.

* If you are not ready to adopt, but are in a position to donate, please visit www.mspca.org/nevinsgift .

Say hey to Elvis! This handsome guy is ready for his new home.

Pigeons 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. Pigeons 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, pigeons are unable to climb up cage bars, and tend to move back and forth making a wider cage more appealing to them. Pigeons 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 pigeon 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.

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

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.

Simba is a 1 year old poodle pup ready to add a little dynamo to your life! This sweet guy loves to romp around, proudly show off his toys, and then settle in for some affectionate snuggles. As a young dog who’s been through quite a few transitions in the past few months, Simba is ready to start his next chapter with a family who can give him the time and patience he needs to adjust to a new routine.

He is still learning about the world, and will need help on his training journey, including learning how to appropriately communicate when he is frustrated or overwhelmed, rather than to use his mouth.

Simba has enjoyed playing with other dogs at the shelter and may be a great match for a resident pup with a compatible play style. He has no history living with cats, but could do ok with a dog-savvy cat, and with full separation to start. To best set up Simba for success, please note that he is not a same-day adoption.

Simba is an eager learner, and is looking for a patient owner to help them master polite greetings, leash skills, and the art of relaxing at the end of the day. Training together will be a fun and rewarding journey!

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