Meet Lily and Shadow! They’re two kitties who love each other very much and need to go home together. They’re looking for a quiet, low traffic home. They’re both a little nervous around strangers, and will need some time to settle in to their new home. Lily is the more outgoing, while Shadow is more reserved. Once they get to know you, they enjoy your company and will sit with you if you’re watching TV or working at your computer. Won’t you take this pair to their new home – with you!
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Shadow. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Hamilton arrived to us with his companion, Maple. They were both living as indoor pigs and shared spaces with kids and dogs. Hamilton adjusted quite well to our Pig Barn and has been spending lots of time outside, especially in his wallow. Hamilton does know how to wear a pig harness!
Hamilton takes a little bit of time to warm up to his people and will need someone who is familiar with pig body language to make sure he is always comfortable! He will happily flop for belly rubs once he knows you’re one of the cool kids.
Hamilton would love to find a home with his buddy Maple, where they can take their time settling in and not rushing into new situations. If you think Hamilton would be a good fit for your family, submit an adoption inquiry!
Oswald & Aztec are a bonded pair of older male rats! The pair are friendly, energetic, and playful! They enjoy hanging out on your shoulders and cuddling with each other.
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 Jonsey! This playgroup star loves hanging out with other dogs and snuggling up to his favorite people. We don’t know much about Jonsey’s life before the MSPCA, but during his time here we’ve found him to be social, confident, playful, and excited about training! This handsome boy walks great on a harness, and is making excellent progress learning his manners. He would thrive with an adopter who loves the great outdoors, and would make a great hiking or adventure buddy!

Rockie is a young pup who`s smart and full of energy! He loves playing with toys and going on walks, and is very food-motivated and eager to learn. He loves his training sessions!
Being a young pup, Rockie is looking for a family who will show him the ropes and teach him to be the best pup he can be. He can initially be a little worried when meeting new dogs at the shelter, but we think he could do well living with a calm canine sibling who would serve as a role model for him. We also think he`d do well as you`re one-and-only dog!
If you think Rockie 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.

True’s going to need a lot of support as he settles into a new home and learns the ropes, he will benefit from a combination of mental and physical enrichment ona daily basis. If you’re looking for yuor new best friend, true might just be your guy!

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?
I’m in a foster home- Please email karmour@mspca.org if you’d

Turtle ** Male ** Age: 1 year ** Brown Tabby SH ** A317879 **
More About Me: Hi, my name’s Turtle! But there’s nothing slow about me! I’m a young, active boy. I love to play and explore. I don’t have a favorite toy, because they’re all so much fun! But, I will say that chasing balls is fine entertainment. After play time, a nap would be in order, and then it’s time to play again. I’m basically a cat who still thinks he’s a kitten (and it wasn’t long ago at all that I was a kitten)! I can’t wait to find my new home – it’ll be a new place to explore with new games to play!! Maybe that’ll be with you!

Meet Friendly! Friendly 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 Friendly.

Storm is a fun, affectionate girl who loves relaxed walkies with humans and also alongside calm canine friends. She might have some velcro-dog tendencies with her humans. A sweet quirk of Storms- she loves bath time! Shes been known to hop right in and get things started on her own.
Storm is looking for an adopter who can give her the time to settle in and adjust to a new routine. She could live with another well-matched dog and may also be able to live with a cat given a thoughtful introduction. Storm could be a good fit for a home with older children.
If you think Storm 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.

Jade is a charming older gal who is looking for that special someone to be the center of her world. Jade is a busy lady who would thrive in a quiet environment with a consistent routine and a family who is ready to make adjustments as she continues to settle in. Jade can be a tad worried when meeting new people, but once she warms up, she is falling into your lap wanting endless pets. She is a dog with some medical needs and requires a close relationship with a vet. Jade says no thanks to living with dogs and maybe to living with quiet tweens or teens. If you think Jade sounds like the companion you’ve been waiting for, come in to start the matchmaking conversation!

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 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!

Jason`s photos don`t do him justicethis guy is a total HUNK!
He loves doing zoomies and playing with toys in our outdoor pen. He is smart and eager to learn, and is picking up on clicker training quickly! He is looking for a family who is ready to keep his physical and mental stimulation going with lots of play time and time dedicated to teaching him new things.
Jason has a history of playing with other dogs and is very wiggly when initially meeting other dogs on leash. We think he would do well living with another dog who matches his play style.
Jason has no history living with cats, and limited history being around kids. We think either is a possibility, though due to his size we recommend kids be dog-savvy and on the sturdier side.
Jason is an absolutely stunning dog with his whole life ahead of him. If you`re looking to bring some joy and excitement into your life, you and he could be a perfect match!
If you think Jason 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.
