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!

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.

Finches have a wonderful voice, and can be a joy to watch, but tend not to be a “hands on” bird. Native to Australia, finches can live up to 10 years with proper nutrition and care. We recommend that finches live in pairs or groups whenever possible.
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. As a result of finches being a “hands off” bird they tend to spend much of their lives inside their cage, so we heavily recommend investing in a very spacious cage with lots of enrichment.
The needs of each finch are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the finch you are interested in, please give us a call! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

If you are looking for a bigger dog with a lot of personality, then meet
Hank. This best boy has a good history of living with kids and once he
knows you, you are his forever friend. And as his new best friend, Hank is
hoping you want to play a long game of fetch with tennis balls. Hank walks well
on a leash, knows sit and paw, and would love to learn new things if there
are yummy treats involved. Hank really, really likes his treats. This is
great because Hank will need a patient adopter to help him learn how to
greet people and how to settle on his own. The home will need to be puppy
proofed because no one has told him that he is no longer a puppy. Hank
could possibly live with a well-matched dog friend or a dog savvy cat. In
his previous home, Hank lived successfully with children of
different ages. The kids should be sturdy enough so as not to be knocked
over by this bouncy boy. Finally, this good boy has been through many
changes recently and would do best if his new adopters kept his world small and
let him decompress. Would you like to meet Hank? Visit the MSPCA Methuen
location Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-4:30PM.
Meet Azula! This sweet girl is looking for her forever home with sister Toph! Azula would love a home where she has lots of space to share with her sister. She loves to munch on her Timothy hay, or take a snooze during the day. Azula and her sister are still working on sharing – so they will each need their own items (meaning 1 bowl each, and more than one hiding spot).
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.
