We have several adorable Welsh Harlequin female ducks available for adoption! Ducks are very social animals, so we’d love to send these birds home in pairs at least (and even better if you already have a flock for them to join)! They have beautiful coloring on their feathers and love to splash in their pool!
This 12 year old spayed female cat is looking for her new home. Stoney is a bit on the shy side so
would do best in a very quiet home with a low key lifestyle (not a lot of visitors/comings and goings).
She would need some time to adjust to her new surroundings, and would likely do best as the only animal in the home. In her own time once she gets to know her person, she is very affectionate.
Stoney is hanging out in a less stressful area of the adoption center, so please ask staff for more info.
Feel free to stop by the shelter during open hours (Tuesdays thru Sundays 1pm to 3pm) if you’re interested in adopting Stoney
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
Introducing Corn, a gentle 3-year-old pup with a heart as big as her timid demeanor. Despite her initial shyness, Corn is a devoted companion who thrives in the company of other dogs. She finds comfort and confidence in their presence, often wagging her tail with excitement during playtime. With patience and love, Corn blossoms into a loyal friend, eager to share her affection with a caring family who understands her need for gentle reassurance. If you’re ready to open your heart to a timid yet loving soul, Corn is waiting to become your steadfast canine companion.
Meet Katara! She and her sister Yue are looking for their forever home. Katara enjoys munching on her morning greens and vegetables and would love a home where she can continue to get her morning salads hand delivered! Katara loves snuggling up with her sister Yue, but she is still working on sharing other items. Katara and her sister will need two of everything in their room while they work on their sharing skills.

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!

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.

Meet Hank! Hank is a beautiful Lorikeet who is ready to fly off to their new home. They have a history of overplucking and so a relationship with an exotics vet will be a plus!
Lorikeets can be highly social (even attention seeking!) and have beautiful colors. Lorikeets originate from the southeast Asia archipelago or parts of Australia and tend to live in large groups. They can live up to 30 years with proper nutrition and care. They are nectivores and eat nectar, pollen, fruits and veggies.
Lorikeets can be very active, requiring lots of enrichment opportunities and can be wonderful training companions. They love to play with toys and will play with just about anything! Because Lorikeets cannot talk, they can be quieter than other parrot species. Hank does still love to make himself known though!
We recommend a cage that is at least 32”x23” (Width x depth) with a maximum of 5/8-3/4” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Lorikeets love to bathe and ideally will have the ability to bathe multiple times a day.
The needs of each bird are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the bird you are interested in, please feel free to give us a call! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.
Spirit cats are very shy with people, and live in your home but are rarely seen – hence their name. They are cats who coexist in your home, and sometimes may grant you the opportunity to touch them – or they may not. Despite being shy with people, spirit cats are usually great with other cats! They are used to living with many cats, and can make excellent companions for cats in your home. It’s not uncommon for a spirit cat to get used to one or two people over time, and those people will be allowed to touch them and they may even choose to hang out near you or sleep on your bed at night. They are a great choice for people with a quiet household, who want to make a difference for an individual cat. Patience and understanding are the best tools when welcoming a spirit cat into your home. It’s important to know that spirit cats won’t magically turn into a normal acting cat – what you see is what you get for a long time, maybe always.
They are a fine choice for situations where you don’t have a lot of time to devote to a pet as they don’t require a lot of attention from humans. They are not a good choice for a busy home, including those with small children.
Hood and his brother Piglet Jr. are brother boars who are looking for a new home together. Hood is the bolder brother and loves to cuddle with humans and is known to be quiet the escape artist. Male guinea pigs benefit from a more spacious enclosure and two of everything to keep both boys happy.

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 Lincoln! This handsome fella came to us from a home without much history known. He can take a little time to warm up and would likely do best in a quieter home. He lived with many other cats and would likely do well living with other cats!
If you’re interested in adopting a cat, stop by Tues-Sun from 1-4 during our open hours.
*Please be sure your town regulations allow for guinea fowl on your property before you inquire about adoption!*
Worried about ticks and flies around your barn this summer? Our guinea fowl can help! We have several male guinea fowl available for adoption and they are experts at eating up any and all insects around your property. They are a bit shy and skittish around people, but get along with each other very nicely and have easily coexisted within a mixed flock of roosters and hens. They have stunning feathers and a very distinct voice when they get all riled up. They are a super entreating bunch who love to zoom around in their outdoor enclosure and perch up high in the sunshine.
*Please be sure your town regulations allow for roosters on your property before you inquire about adoption!*
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! We have a wide variety of sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Roosters are full of personality and make great additions to any hobby flock!
