Meet Loon! She is 8 months old and is ready for her new home! She can be worried in new situations and is looking for someone to give her time and space to feel cozy/comfortable but once shes opened up, she gets excited easily and loves to play! While she and her adopters get to know each other, her bubble should be kept small and predictable. Additionally, her adopters should be prepared for all things puppy: house training, puppy-proofing, and working on fine-tuning her manners using a gentle approach. Any kids in the home should be old enough to give her space while shes settling in, and to participate in training once shes more comfortable in the home.

Calling all heroes!

We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Muffin. He is 1.5 year old, and has a progressive case of FeLV – or Feline Leukemia Virus – which will shorten his lifespan, and we are hoping to find him a loving indoor-only home where he can live out his life. Despite his diagnosis, he can be social and affectionate with those he knows, once he is comfortable in his new space. Muffin 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 Spice! This sweet kitten has just recovered from being sick, and is looking for a soft place to land. She is feeling so much better, and he personality is starting to shine! She has been here for a while, and has missed a lot of her prime socialization time, so she can be a bit weary of new people and places. Her ideal adopters will take their time getting to know her and slowly introduce her to her new life. If you are looking for a sweet kitten, look no further than spice!

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!

Meet Toph! This sweet girl is looking for her forever home with sister Azula! Toph would love a home where she can have all the greens her heart desires!

More about Jax:

I am very very sweet with people. I am calm and lazy, and I like to cuddle!!

I will need a slow introduction to my new home, litter box, and any existing pets while I settle in and become comfortable in my new surroundings. I had a hissy reaction to a dog I saw here at the shelter, but I might be okay with a mellow dog that will respect my space. My adopter should be savvy in handling slow-managed introductions.

I am a big (and handsome!) guy. I need an adopter who is willing to work with their vet and willing to help me along my weight loss journey. Due to my size I definitely need an over-sized litter box.

A fear-free vet is recommended, and I may need a sedative for close handling.

The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Compatibility:
Cats: No thanks! Has a history of fighting with another cat in previous home
Dogs: Possibly – no history – see above
Kids: Possibly – no history

Rose
~3 Years Old
Lab Mix

Rose is a sweet and shy lady who is looking for a new home of her own! Rose came to us with a group of dogs that we received from an overcrowded kennel environment in the Texas. We don’t know too much about her history, but we know she is already making progress and coming out of her shell in New England. Rose has been through a lot of transitions in a short period of time and she is looking for a patient family who can help show her the ropes and adjust to a home environment at her own pace. She can be nervous in new situations, but she is already getting more comfortable and asking for snuggles with some of her friends. Rose has been around other dogs and might do well with another social dog to help build her confidence. She might be okay with older kids who can read her body language and respect her boundaries!

If you think this dog could be a good match for your home 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.

Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.

For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/

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’re 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.

He’s a high energy guy and he’s got the muscles to prove it, but in addition to exercise, he will also need some help learning how to settle – he may not be the “Netflix and chill” type at home to begin with.

Cleopatra and Sinbad came in together and would love to go home together!

Budgerigars, the most common parakeet we see, are native to Australia where they live in massive flocks in the grasslands. Parakeets tend to be docile, gentle, can be easy to tame and can even talk! Despite their small size, these birds can have large vocabularies and can make a wonderful training companion. We recommend that parakeets live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Parakeets can live up to 7-15 years with proper nutrition and care, and can be a loyal companion.

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. Nests can be provided but should be removed if any females begin to lay eggs. 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 parakeet are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the parakeet you are interested in, please give us a call! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

* If you think you are a good fit, stop by Tues-Sun from 1-4 during our open hours! For more information on our adoption process, please visit www.mspca.org/capeadoptionprocess .

Hunter came to us from a Southern shelter, so we have no history of this
good boy. Although this dog takes a bit of time to warm up to people,
after that you are best friends. Hunter is the perfect size dog, very
handsome in appearance, and loves other dogs. In fact, since he is a bit
shy and nervous, Hunter would do really well living with a calm companion
dog that can help him be brave. He is also looking for an adopter that
will give him time to adjust to his new environment and keep his world
small and controlled. This will give Hunter the time to build some comfort
and confidence. We dont know his opinion of cats, so a dog savvy cat is a
possibility. And kids that can help with Hunters training would be an added
benefit.

Do you want to meet this good boy? Come meet Hunter at the MSPCA in Methuen
12PM-4:30PM Tuesday-Sunday.
