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 Cocoa- this charming girl is looking for her forever home. She currently lives with her two sisters (Cookie and Cinnamon), and enjoys their company. They love to greet you together, and love to have their daily salads together. Ideally she would love to find a home where all three of them could live together, but she’d be okay away from them, as long as she can meet a new guinea pig friend. She can’t wait to meet you and find her forever home.

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
Companion Birds should receive at least a half hour to an hour of interaction time with their human family; such as training, playing, and/or socially interacting.

Pinky is ready to find a new home of his own! We are not sure what this
little guy is mixed with, but we think he will likely be on the larger
side. He is still learning the ropes and will need a patient family to
teach him all the doggie basics like walking on a leash and housetraining.
He could likely go to a home with another dog who wants an annoying younger
sibling to be role model to. Pinky has been through lots of transitions in
his short life and is looking for a home that can help him figure out the
world in a safe and fun way!
Do you want to meet Pinky? Visit the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in Methuen

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

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.

needs it would be perfect. Would you like to meet this good girl? Come to
