MSPCA-Angell and Northeast Animal Shelter Announce Next Fee-Waived Adoptathon for Small Pets!

All Rabbits and Guinea Pigs Available at NO FEE the Weekend of Feb. 12

BOSTON and Salem, Mass., Feb. 9, 2022 – Following the success of three “small pet” adoptathons held last year—during which hundreds of guinea pigs, rabbits, birds and more were placed into new homes at no fee—the MSPCA-Angell and the Northeast Animal Shelter (NEAS) are at it again with a fee-waived adoptathon for guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, hamsters, and all other small pets on Saturday, Feb. 12 and Sunday, Feb. 13.

The whopping increase in guinea pig and rabbits surrendered to the MSPCA—a more than 66 percent increase in the last year—means the MSPCA’s three adoption centers in Boston, Methuen and Centerville on Cape Cod, as well as NEAS’ Salem shelter, remain crowded with small pets in 2022.

Save on Adoption Fees!

Adopters who take advantage of the weekend adoptathon will save $85 per rabbit and $30 per guinea pig, money that can be re-applied toward the care of these new pets.

Adopters looking to add a small pet to their family can visit www.mspca.org/adopt or neas.org/adopt to browse pets and apply.
