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.

Nemo is a silly and spunky little pup who is looking for his next adventure. He is a silly little boy who is learning puppy manners and loves to meet new people! He has been very rambunctious and playful with other dogs and might do well with a social friend to show him the ropes. Nemo has been through a lot of transitions in a short amount of time and will need his family to help her learn about the world in a safe and fun way!

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.

For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/

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.

Darren
6 months old
Intact male guinea pig

Darren is a young boar who still has a lot to learn about the world. Humans are still a little scary for him so he is looking for a patient adopter who will let him settle in at his own pace and not put pressure on him to interact right away. Darren was housed with his brother Joe until they started bickering in the shelter. They will require a patient adopter with a good bonding plan and a spacious enclosure to help restore their brotherly bond after the shelter. If Darren does not go home with Joe, he is looking for a very submissive male to live with who won’t mind when he pushes them around.

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. Guinea pigs need a minimum 6.5 sqft wire cage (30”x36”) for 1-2 guinea pigs but preferably 10.5 sqft (30”x50”) for 2 guinea pigs and a minimum 8 sqft for 3 guinea pigs but preferably 13 sqft (30”x62”). Cages must have a solid bottom and more room is always encouraged!

Cholula and Tapatio were originally kittens in an outdoor cat colony. In their first year, they moved inside with a kind samaritan who cared for the colony. These sweet kitties are shy at first given their history of starting life at a distance from people, but they have been known to make human friends with plenty of time and space to grow their confidence. They could be adopted together or separately. Each of these kitties would likely benefit from having a confident feline friend at home, so if you have a resident cat looking for a pal, one of these hot sauce cats might be right for you!

Lily Mae has been diligently working on mastering new skills like keeping her feet on the floor and learning to control her mouth, proving herself to be a remarkably fast learner with the right support by her side. Lily Mae arrived as a single puppy, which means she likely missed out on crucial socialization with her littermates and mother, so may need a little extra support as she continues learning her manners. If you’re ready to offer Lily Mae the supportive and loving home she deserves, she’s eagerly waiting to embark on this new chapter of her life with you!

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 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.

Interested in learning more about Pumba? Fill out an adoption inquiry but clicking the Inquire button and a staff member will reach out to discuss!

Kevin is a friendly pittie built kind of like your grandmothers coffee
table. He is big, low to the ground and really heavy. Kidding aside,
Kevin is a sweet, friendly guy who would make a great walking buddy. Hed
also make a great lounging on the couch buddy. This good boy loves toys
and can entertain himself. If he can have toys outside, then he is living
his best life. He is house trained and will let you know when he needs to
go out. While he is doing well with his loose leash walking skills, there
are times he can be very strong and pully. He is hoping for an adopter
that will continue with his training. Sometimes Kevin is uncomfortable
with close handling. His family just needs to watch his body language and
it is pretty obvious when he wants to be pet and when he needs a break.
Kevin could probably live with a well-matched dog friend or a dog savvy
cat. This best boy has a good history with meeting strangers. Do you want
to meet Kevin? Visit him at the MSPCA in Methuen Tuesday-Sunday
12PM-4:30PM.
