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.

Lovebirds can be lovely, cuddly, and curious but can pack a big personality into their small little body. Primarily native to Africa, lovebirds can range in size from about 5 – 6½” and can live up to 12-15 years with proper nutrition and care. These little birds can be a chatty bunch, singing and whistling throughout the day, but most commonly at dusk and dawn. They are not known for mimicking human speech but with patience and plenty of effort can be trained to perform other tricks. We recommend that lovebirds live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Lovebirds tend to thrive in pairs as their name implies.
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. 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 lovebird are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the lovebird you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Meet Molly! She’s a sweet, fluffy girl. She’s nervous around strangers, so as you can imagine, she’s not at her best here at the adoption center. Once she gets to know you she’s an affectionate girl who loves to be around you. She also enjoys play time, and hopes you’ll throw some balls for her to chase. She lived with other cats before, and they didn’t get along. She’s hoping to be the only feline in her new home – could that be with you?

Skinny Quinny is a friendly, eager-to-please girl who loves being with her people and is always up for a fun training session, especially if treats are involved! She’s a big fan of fetch, enjoys her toys, and lights up when she gets to play and interact with those she trusts.
She’s still learning her manners and how to keep her excitement in check, so she’s looking for a patient adopter who enjoys training and is ready to help her practice polite leash walking and calmer greetings. A structured, positive reinforcement approach will help her succeed.
With consistency, guidance, and plenty of enrichment, Skinny Quinny will blossom into a loyal, fun, and affectionate companion who’s happiest right by your side.

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.
This stunning senior lady is Pooky, a 10 year old cat looking for her new home! Pooky came from a quiet home where she wasn’t really meeting a lot of new people, so she’s found shelter life to be a little overwhelming. As she’s been through a lot of big changes recently, she may need a gentle start while she gets ahold of a new routine, but once she’s settled in, Pooky’s sure to open up and show off her sweet and snuggly sides!
Pooky lived with another senior cat in her previous home, but preferred to do her own thing most of the time. She will likely prefer to be the star of the show and be your one and only pet while she lives out her golden years in comfort and style.
Senior cats are often overlooked due to their age – while kittens and young adults cats are often adopted quickly, many of our senior cats wait longer to find their perfect match. We think Pooky deserves the best retirement home, and adopting a senior can be extremely rewarding. They are extra grateful…and so are we!
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Pooky. 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.

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!
Meet Blitzen, a bright, bouncy teenage pup with energy to spare and a whole lot of love to give. This active girl lives to play and is as smart as she is food-motivated, which means she learns fast and enjoys training when treats are involved. Blitzen is still polishing her manners, both with people and around other dogs. She would benefit from having stable, playful, and tolerant adult dog friends, either in her home or among regular friends and family. She’s looking for a household ready to keep up with her fun-loving spirit and continue her training journey. Any kids in the home should be mature enough to participate in training and comfortable with her enthusiastic jumps. ** Should meet any potential dog siblings on campus before adoption to determine compatability
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Blitzen. 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 Bambi! This fun loving, pint-sized girl came to us on a transport from a shelter out of state so we don’t know much about her history. What we have found is that she loves to play with her toys and is super snuggly once her needs have been met. We know that she would do best with an adopter who can provide her with some structure and a gentle approach to training while she catches up on her manners.
Stop by our Methuen at Nevins Farm Adoption Center to learn more about this silly girl!
If you think Bambi 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.

Meet Huey! Huey is an eager learner who has been through several transitions in his short life. We`ve learned a lot about him and skills he is currently working on with our team, so he is looking for a patient owner to help them master manners, polite greetings, leash skills, and puppy basicstraining together will be a fun and rewarding journey!
His favorite things are training or sniffy walks, people, learning new things, and once he`s had time to get his zoomies out, some calm settling time with people. Huey is a happy, bouncy, and super wiggly pup, looking for a family to bring endless joy! Huey 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. Huey has enjoyed interacting with other dogs here at the shelter, but is still learning how to do so! We think they might do well with a canine sibling that likes to romp and play as much as they do, with management around their introduction.
If you think Huey 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.
