Meet Cinnamon- this sweet pig is looking for her forever home. She currently lives with her sister Cocoa and enjoys her company. She can be found snuggling with her sister, or sharing a meal with her- as she loves her veggies!
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 Joanna! This sweet lady is looking for her new forever home! She made friends here quickly, and would love to live with another parakeet, or multiples! She enjoys chatting with friends, preening together, and eating her millet spray.
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.
*Before coming to the adoption center, we ask that you have a housing unit ready, in case you end up finding an animal you’d like to adopt.
If you haven’t picked out an enclosure yet, we’d love to help! The Association of Avian Veterinarians has a chart on the minimum cage dimensions that are acceptable for housing the birds we commonly see in our adoption center. As a rule of thumb, get the largest cage you can provide—the bigger the better!
A few important recommendations
SIZE: Wire or mesh cages are preferred that are at least 1.5 to 2 times the wingspan of the bird in all directions. When a bird spreads both wings out, there should be enough room so the wings and tail are not touching any cage bars including top or bottom. The bird should be able to easily spin around on a perch without the tail hitting any cage bars including top/bottom of the cage. The cage should be big enough that the bird can fly with ease from the bottom of the cage to the top without the wings touching any cage bars or any other obstacles (like toys).
BAR SPACING: Make sure the spacing of the bars is small enough that your bird cannot escape! Select a finger or fingers that appear to be the same thickness as the bird’s wing. When checking bar spacing, if your finger or fingers (thickness) fits between the cage bar spacing, then the cage bar spacing is not proper for that bird (a bird could get harmed).
We suggest covering wire mesh platforms or bottoms with a layer of newspaper or other solid surface as exposed wire can cause abrasions to feet, as well as possibly catch and break toes and tails

Introducing Kodiak! He`s smart, energetic, and loves to train! Kodiak needs a little time to warm up to new people. Once he does he is playful and snuggly, but will need a family who can take things slowly and help him settle in at his own pace. He could live with older teens who have nice shy dog skills and can help to participate in his training, and maybe another patient dog friend.
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) theyre 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.
Dane is an adorable 3 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!

Meet Pumba! This lovable pig lives up to his namesake as the friendliest warthog around, though do not worry we promise he is still a potbelly pig and not an actual warthog! Pumba loves to show you his sit to get a treat and will follow you around until you indulge him in some forehead scratches and belly rubs.
Pumba is currently a bit underweight and has some tough dry skin that we are working to get under control. Hes been hard at work gaining some weight and muscle again and staff would be happy to chat with you about his medical needs going forward but adopters should plan to have a good relationship with their (pig) veterinarian!
Like all pigs, Pumba will need room to roam, graze, root, and wallow. A proper pig proof enclosure and fencing is a must with access to an indoor space for shelter as needed. Pumba may be able to live with other pigs and farm animals but slow introductions are always recommended.

Michi and Mixi are a dynamic duo looking for their forever home together. These inseparable brothers have been through thick and thin together and have formed a bond that’s stronger than steel. They may be a bit shy at first, but once they feel safe and secure, their true personalities may shine through. They would thrive in a calm and patient household with owners who understand their need for time to adjust. They’re not big fans of loud noises or sudden movements, so a tranquil environment would be perfect for them. A home without young children or other pets would be ideal, as they prefer each other’s company above all else.

Bay Coast is a sweet and affectionate Arabian mare who is ready to find her perfect home! We don’t know much about her history, but she has settled in remarkably well to her new life at Nevins. She is easy to halter and lead out to her paddock and stands nicely for vet care. She does need a little bit of patience and practice with the farrier, but this good girl truly just wants to please. We are not sure if Bay Coast ever had a riding career and are looking for a companion-only home for her at this time. She has started to work on some basic ground work and we will update as we learn more about her!
Bay Coast loves to be doted on and will seek you out to demand attention and scratches if you are in her paddock or stall with her. Picking up her feet is still a work in progress but she will let you brush her till your hands fall off if she has it her way!
Bay Coast is a hardy girl who has easily lived outside 24/7 with access to a run-in shed as well as come into a stall at night with day turnout. She has been turned out with multiple different groups of mares without issue – in fact she seems to keep to herself or spend most of her day eating hay. That being said she would really like the companionship of other horses and can struggle when some of her closer friends are taken from her group.
Bay Coast is up to date on all vet an farrier care and is ready to find her person! If that might be you please click the inquire button above and fill out an inquiry for a horse or farm animal.
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 let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Meet Shadow! This shy boy is looking for a patient adopter who is able to efficiently read cat body language. He may need some extra time and patience to adjust to his new surroundings. Slow introductions and a predictable routine will help him feel safe and secure. He may benefit from a quiet room to retreat to when he feels overwhelmed.

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 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.
