Trust us – she’s even cuter in person! Muffin is an older pony mare who is looking for a companion-only home with her best friend Buggsy.
Muffin was a bit shy and avoidant of touch when we first met her, but she has fallen into a great rhythm with us and is now easy to halter in her stall, lead to her paddock, and catch for turn in. She is an easy keeper and seems quite hardy and healthy! Muffin does well living out 24/7 and stalling overnight with day time turn out. She is super flexible!
We wouldn’t go so far as to say she is a kid-safe pony yet, but it is possible she could get there with some time and patience. She has been straightforward for us to work with and hasn’t offered a bite, kick, or rear. She does require an experienced handler for vet care, but has also improved greatly for this type of handling in the time we’ve had her. She stands well for the farrier and tolerates grooming – we think she’ll enjoy it one day when she finds a family who will dote on her!
Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion! Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex. A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30″ x 50″ with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged! Guinea pigs can be quite noisy which can be lovely as long as you are expecting it!

When it comes to sniffing out adventure, our canine companion is in a league of his own.

Floyd is an adorable 1 year old Nigerian Dwarf wether. He is very shy, so would do best in a home with an experienced adopter who can handle him and help him warm up to people over time. He deserves a loving home where he can relax and learn that humans are his friends!
Goats are herd animals and need the company of other goats to be healthy and happy. We are looking for adopters who can take at least a pair of goats or have an existing herd at home that they’d like to expand. Interested adopters should have housing for their goats to include proper shelter from the elements and fencing to contain these notorious escape artists. As they say – if it can’t hold water, it can’t hold a goat!
All goats are up to date on their medical needs, but will need routine maintenance moving forward for things like hoof trims and yearly vaccines.
Interested in adding a hilarious and sweet group of goats to your home? Fill out an adoption form by clicking the “Inquire” button and a staff member will reach out to discuss!
Edna Mode is just as iconic as you remember–except now she’s an incredible guinea pig! Eddie will start off shy as most guinea pigs do, but once she’s comfortable, she won’t hesitate to show off her spunky personality. Due to her larger than life personality and diva-licious attitude, Edna is not looking for a cagemate, but may enjoy a nextdoor neighbor pig or two! Eddie loves to snuggle with her people and is excited to be a WFH desk buddy or Netflix pal. When she’s not snoozing under her favorite hand towel, Eddie can be found wheeking up a storm and popcorning around her enclosure. Edna is available from foster and is NOT in the shelter, so if you’d like to see about making her a part of your family, email sgoldman@mspca.org or come into the shelter to speak to staff to learn more.

Meet Princesa! This regal mix breed has lots of love (and energy!) to give, and she cant wait to find her new home where she will be treated like true royalty! We have limited information on her life before she came to us, but what we have seen here is that she is a little unsure about the sights and sounds of the big city, and will need a patient adopter who can help her settle in at her own pace. Once she has had time to make herself at home, she will not be able to wait to show you her playful side!
If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

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 cat is part of our Working Cat Program! This program is for cats that are not well suited for an indoor-only type lifestyle but would thrive in environments with more space, a job, and/or less pressure from humans and other pets.
This cat originally came to us from the outdoors so we don’t know a lot about his past. While they are used to people being in somewhat close proximity to feed and care for them, these are not currently social cats but would make great ‘behind the scenes’ working cats! Interested adopters must have a safe, secure structure or barn for a working cat and be able to provide adequate time for acclimation.
If you are interested, please give us a call today!

Buggsy is a cute and flashy paint mare who would make an adorable addition to your barn! We are looking for a companion-only home for Buggsy along with her best gal pal Muffin.
Buggsy has settled into our program at Nevins really nicely and is easy to halter in her stall, lead to her paddock, and catch for turn in. She is an easy keeper (as most ponies are) and seems quite hardy and healthy! We don’t have a full picture of her history, but as far as we know she came from an auction in Oklahoma and hasn’t done much ridden work in her life. She would be best suited to just hang out and be your best friend from the ground!
Buggsy is patient for vet care and enjoys being groomed and fussed over. She seems to really like her cozy stall this winter, but could likely handle living out 24/7 with adequate shelter and blanketing in bad weather.
Meet Michael, the charming 5-year-old tabby with a heart of gold and a touch of resilience. Despite living with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), Michael doesn’t let it dampen his spirits or his affectionate nature. This friendly feline enjoys lounging in sunspots, chasing toy mice, and snuggling up for a cozy nap. If you’re looking for a loyal furry friend to join your family and provide a lifetime of love, Michael is ready to show you just how special life with him can be!
Reva is a pretty Shepard that is a bit on the smaller size. (Reva will
tell you that she is the perfect size!) In typical German Shepard fashion,
this good girl can be very affectionate and later be rather aloof. Hope
you have some good sneakers because this girl loves, loves long sniffly
walks. Here at the shelter, she appears to be house broken and word is she
was crate trained in her previous life. Poor Reva is a little nervous and
is looking for an adopter that can give her the time and space to feel
comfortable in her new home. While she does not want to live with another
dog, she could possibly live with a dog savvy cat. Are you ready to meet
this best girl? Stop by Nevins Farm Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-3PM.
Meet Percy, a big, happy boy with a heart of gold just waiting to find his forever home. While he may take a moment to warm up, once he does, he’s your loyal companion for life, eager to shower you with love and affection. Percy’s friendly nature extends to his canine pals, making him the perfect addition to any dog-loving family. If you’re ready for a lifetime of tail wags, cuddles, and unconditional love, Percy is waiting to be your best friend.
Meet Pepsi, a lovable goofball with a heart as big as his personality! This male dog is all about fun and frolic, with a playful spirit that knows no bounds. While he may be a tad clumsy and in need of some training, Pepsi’s endearing nature makes every moment spent with him a joyous adventure. We’re seeking patient adopters who are ready to take on the rewarding challenge of helping Pepsi develop his manners and skills. With a bit of time and dedication, you’ll be amazed at the progress this big-hearted boy can make, and the love and affection he’ll shower upon you in return.
Despite his goofiness, Pepsi is overflowing with love just waiting to be shared. His wagging tail and eager eyes are a testament to his unwavering devotion to those who take the time to understand him. If you’re ready to welcome a furry friend who promises endless laughter and a lifetime of cuddles, Pepsi is ready to be your loyal companion. Come meet him and embark on a heartwarming journey filled with love, laughter, and plenty of memorable moments.
