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!
* 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 .
Introducing Daisy! As beautiful as her flowery name suggests, Daisy is also just as sensitive. She came to us from an overcrowded kennel situation in TX and we know very little about her history, but we do know that she has been sweet with the adoption staff here. With some patience and an adopter who can take a gentle approach to helping her settle in, we know she’ll blossom into the best pup she can be! Daisy is looking for a lower-traffic home. She could potentially live with older children who have some shy dog skills under their belt, potentially cats, or another well-matched dog.
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.

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.
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!

Introducing the ever-so-gracious and slightly whisker-greyed, Zoey! At the grand age of 20, Zoey is our in-house philosopher, specializing in the art of relaxation and the ancient practice of sunbathing. Don’t let her age fool you; she’s as spry in spirit as a kitten, albeit with a touch more wisdom and a preference for early bedtimes.
Zoey’s hobbies include seeking out the coziest corners for her naps, perfecting the art of the gentle ear scratch appreciation purr, and offering sage advice to younger cats about the importance of regular naps. She does prefer to offer this advice via Zoom instead of in person however, cats are not her thing and she would prefer to live without them.
Zoey does have hyperthyroidism that is managed with daily medication and has early stage kidney disease. A good relationship with a vet is a plus. She’s looking for a serene kingdom to rule over, where her subjects (that’s you!) will shower her with love, cozy nooks, and the occasional sunbeam to bask in.
If your home is in need of a dignified, affectionate, and divine feline overlord, Zoey promises to fill that role with grace and a touch of catitude. Visit Zoey today during our open hours and let her show you that sometimes, the best things in life come with a little bit of fur and a lot of purrs.

More about Destiny:
I am a sweet, easy-going mature lady, and will make a mellow, low-key companion for my adopter.
We have no history of what I might be like living in a home, but staff says I have been lovely since I have been here at the shelter.
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 adjusted fairly quickly here at the shelter, but my adopter should take it slowly with me and give me time to settle in at my own pace.
I am a senior lady and potential adopters will be given access to my medical records.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 3:00pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Compatibility:
Cats: Possibly, no history
Dogs: Possibly, no history
Kids: Possibly, no history: cat-savvy, mellow

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!

*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
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.

Maximus’s friendly disposition extends to his canine companions as well, as he’s great with other dogs, making him an ideal candidate for a furry friend or two.

Meet Egg Roll! Just like her name sake, this sweet lady is a world of delight enclosed in a perfect wrapper. Where your typical egg roll might have a delicious cabbage filling, this Egg Roll is full to the brim with a sweet disposition and a dozen year of finely crafted cat-nap habits. On the outside, this Egg Roll trades the traditional golden fried wrapper for a gorgeous gray and white fur coat.
Egg Roll has FLUTD, a common urinary condition in cats, so a relationship with a vet is a must to make sure this girl is comfortable and feeling her best! And since Egg Roll is a bit overstuffed, a diet to lose some extra weight will do wonders for her health.
If you’re a fan of Egg Roll (who wouldn’t be) and want to add a sweet older feline to your home, come by our Cape shelter 1-4pm Tuesday through Sunday!
