Bravo is looking for a confident, supportive adopter who is ready to love Bravo for who he is. Bravo has a bit of a rocky past, and is ready for a consistent home with owners who are excited to learn about dog behavior and how to best support him. Bravo loves to run and play and would enjoy an active lifestyle full of training. Bravo would prefer to be the only dog, but could possibly live with cats and older kids who can participate in his care.

If you think Bravo 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.

Meet Wellie Grant! This older gentleman is a transfer from our other location in Salem because of this we have limited history on him.

He might also want to be the type of cat that likes to keep to himself so having a future adopter willing to give him his space and time to adjust to his environment will be very important! If you think you’re the right fit or would like to know more about him please come on by today!

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

Meet Bianca, a 4 year old poodle mix looking for a new home. Bianca came to us from a breeder, so while we don’t have a lot of information on her past, we know that Bianca does not have the same background as a typical dog—she lived predominantly outdoors, and was not going on walks or exploring new environments.

Bianca is looking for a patient adopter ready to cherish the quiet moments, and who can provide a peaceful, low-traffic environment where our furry friend can feel safe and secure. Bianca will need help learning how to live in a home, since she’s never done it before! Adopters should be ready to help her on her training journey, including learning how to walk on leash or housebreaking. If there are children in the home, they should be ready to provide Bianca with patience and space as needed to help her blossom into her best self.

Bianca could potentially go home with a mellow and confident dog ready to help show her the ropes. She has no history interacting with cats, so if there were cats in the home, she would need full separation to start and a slow introduction.

If you’re looking for a loving, sweet and sensitive companion with a gentle soul, Bianca might just be your perfect match. Come on down to learn more about her!

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

Meet Bailey! Being 9 years old and shall we say…chonky…you might think he would be a perfect couch potato companion. But Bailey has other ideas in mind! At times sweet and affectionate, he loves spending time around his people, greeting visitors, and being the center of attention. Bailey also has a fresh side though, and is looking for a family who can keep up with his adventerous spirit. An adult only home where his people are excited to engage him in active play time and are savvy at reading cat body language is where this big guy will thrive. Sometimes in his excitement Bailey forgets the difference between toys and hands and has learned in the past that a nip or a swat will get him what he wants (hint, it’s food). We’re not sure how he’d do with other animals but with the right match and a slow transition it’s possible he could have a cat or a dog friend. His age and size also mean he has some things his future adopter should keep an eye on with their veterinarian to make sure he can stay the funloving troublemaker for years to come.

If you have a yen for a big orange boy with some cattitude, Bailey just might be the cat for you. He is hanging out behind the scenes at the Boston Adoption Center so visit and ask for him by name, or email cbourgoin@mspca.org for more info to see if you’re a match.

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

Calling all heroes!

We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Jumbo. She is a three year old lazy gal that loves getting pet, sunbathing by the window, and has a regressive case of FeLV, or Feline Leukemia Virus which may shorten her lifespan, and we are hoping to find her a loving indoor-only home where she can live out her life. Despite her diagnosis, she is a social and affectionate cat with just about all humans! Jumbo would need to be the only cat in the household, or have feline friends that also have FeLV. Interested adopters should click the inquire button below to learn more and shelter staff will provide additional counseling on FeLV and answer any questions at the time of adoption.

More info on FeLV can be found here: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951934

Meet Bennie, a sensitive and sweet guy looking for a home of his own. He lived a pretty sheltered life before coming to us, so transitions, meeting new people, and interacting with lots of dogs can be hard for him, but once he settles in, his personality starts to shine! Bennie loves to snuggle with his inner circle, and he can be a playful and silly guy when he’s feeling comfortable.

Bennie is looking for a low-traffic home and patient adopters who are excited about meeting a sensitive pup where he’s at and helping him navigate the world at his own pace. Any children in the home should be ready to respect his boundaries when he needs space, and follow his management and training plan.

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

Cady is a smart, shy, sweet girl who loves long walks with her
favorite people! She is very food-motivated and responds well to positive
reinforcement training. She has enjoyed spending time around other mellow
dogs at the shelter, so we think she could do well with a canine sibling
that is comfortable with a more calm friend, or she`d be happy being your
one-and-only dog. Cady will do best in a low-traffic, quieter home
environment without children.

Cady often starts off a little cautious, but give her time and a cozy spot
to settle in and youll see her sweet and loving personality shine!

If you think Cady 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.

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.

Meet Cookie! This sweet, sensitive girl is looking for a quiet and understanding home to call her own. She came to us when her family’s landlord stopped allowing pets, after they raised her from a puppy. Cookie has a history of house training, loves to snuggle up to her people, and easily self-entertains with toys. Once she feels safe, she truly believes she is a lap dog.

Cookie is shy, and can be fearful with new people and in new environments. When uncomfortable, she may try to avoid interaction or communicate that she needs space. She’s looking for a patient adopter who understands dog body language and can read her in these moments, advocate for her needs, and help her feel safe and comfortable as she settles in. Cookie has shown that she is uncomfortable around other dogs, and would prefer to be the only dog in the home. She’ll need an adopter who is committed to avoiding dog-heavy environments and can provide leash walks in quiet areas or access to private, fenced-in spaces. A nice quiet neighborhood will be best for her comfort.

Cookie has a history of living with a cat, and could be successful again with slow, thoughtful introductions. She may do well in a home with kids who can help provide structure and training support as she continues to learn, and who understand to let her approach and interact on her terms. With time, consistency, and positive reinforcement, Cookie will be a deeply loving, affectionate companion. She is searching for a calm home, a predictable routine, and someone who is ready to meet her where she is, and earn her trust one gentle step at a time.

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Cookie. 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 Ned! His favorite things are getting treats, working on
puzzle toys, kongs and busy boxes! He is a sweet and snuggly guy with his
people. Ned loves to play and is full of energy, and would make a great
companion for a hiker, runner, or just an admirer of the great outdoors.
Ned prefers the company of human friends to canine friends but has had some
positive interactions with well-matched dogs. He has met a few dogs while
in our care, and we have observed that he prefers introductions to be slow
and calm, like parallel walks, to give him time to get comfortable before
jumping into play. He also seems to prefer dogs with a polite play style
that can exist and gently play with him instead of crashing and wrestling.
Ned is an eager learner and is looking for a patient adopter who is
prepared to do training. He needs some help mastering polite greetings,
leash skills, and puppy some basics.

If you think Ned 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.
