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.

Are you looking for an easy going house hippo? Meet Grace! She is a perfect
4 year old pittie who is looking for a couch to snuggle up on. This good
girl loves all people, kids included. She could live with another dog that
wasnt too rough or pushy. Grace is a dignified lady and does not want to
deal with all that nonsense! And Grace says no thank you to living with
cats. This pretty girl walks beautifully on a leash and loves car rides.
Stop by Nevins Farm to meet Grace. Open hours are Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-4:30PM.
We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Ninja. He is a 3 year old, and has a progressive case of FeLV – or Feline Leukemia Virus – which will shorten his lifespan, and we are hoping to find him a loving indoor-only home where he can live out his life. Despite his diagnosis, he can be social and affectionate with those he knows, once he is comfortable in his new space. Ninja would need to be the only cat in the household, or have feline friends that also have FeLV. Interested adopters should click the inquire button below to learn more and shelter staff will provide additional counseling on FeLV and answer any questions at the time of adoption.
More info on FeLV can be found here: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951934
This Daisy is FRESH, but maybe not in the way you’d think! Sure she’s clean and tidy, but this little lady also has a lot of attitude. Daisy can be very affectionate, rubbing on your legs and and seeking out attention, only to snatch her love away moments later with a swat or a hiss. She needs you to know that this relationship is all on her terms. Luckily she’s so cute you won’t even mind. We think she’ll bloom in a quiet home with cat savvy adults and no other pets, where she can rule with an iron paw and a heart of gold. If you like some cattitude and have a lot of love to give a cat who’ll consider returning the favor, Daisy just might be the gal for you.
Meet Leah! This sweet rabbit is looking for a home to call her own. Ms. Leah is looking for a home where she has lots of space to explore and roam around, as she is used to free roaming. She is very outgoing and social, and enjoys participating in family activities, like watching TV at night.
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.

Carlos is an adorable 1 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!
Adoption fee: $250*
*Adoption fees are subject to change based on current specials and may increase with training.
Meet Walter! He and his old pal Albert are the cutest little old ponies we’ve ever met.
Walter leads well and has settled nicely into his routine of turning out for the day and coming in to our cozy barn for the evening. He and Albert share a paddock, a stall, and their meals – they are best buds! Walter’s teeth are quite worn, so he requires a soaked diet, but he is at a healthy weight and seems to be a relatively easy keeper. He does require a little extra medical maintenance due to his advanced age, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 25+ year old distinguished gentleman. Walter is patient for vet care, but has a hard time standing for the farrier so will need some extra support on that front.
These two little pony geldings would love a quiet spot to retire together. They are both very friendly, curious, and gentle. And they love a good grooming session! We haven’t turned them out with any other horses given their age and specific diet, but they could easily share a fenceline with friends. If you have experience with older ponies, these two guys could be a great match for you!

SPECIAL ADOPTER ALERT!!!
I am a very sweet, independent and quiet, mature lady who is looking for a retirement home to live out my golden years. I enjoy pets and belly rubs!
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 will need assistance with keeping up my grooming since I needed to have matts shaved when I arrived.
Staff will review my medical records with my potential adopter to ensure they have a full understanding of my current and future medical needs. I have kidney disease, a grade 3 heart murmur, dental disease, and I am showing signs that I will develop thyroid disease. The shelter`s vet team determined that I am comfortable to be placed for hospice since I currently have a quality of life. My adopter will need to have a close relationship with a vet, and be able to discern when my quality of life has declined enough to make a tough call. My adopter should be aware that my remaining time will be all about quality, not quantity.
I was previously an indoor-outdoor cat, but it is felt that at this point in my life I will be able to adjust to indoors only.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Compatibility:
Dogs: Possibly – did well living with a mellow, cat-savvy dog in her previous home.
Cats: Was attacked by neighborhood cats, but may do okay with an existing quiet cat.
Kids: Yes!

Meet Rosco, the seasoned veteran of sniffing out good times and enjoying leisurely strolls like a true connoisseur! This Texas senior may have a few miles on his paws, but let me tell ya, he’s still got plenty of pep in his step and a whole lot of love to give.
Now, Rosco’s past is shrouded in mystery, like a cowboy legend whispered around a campfire. But one thing’s for sure: this ol’ boy knows how to enjoy a good stroll under the Texas sun. With him by your side, you’ll be sauntering down the streets like you own the whole darn town!
Sure, Rosco may take his time warming up to you, but trust me, it’s worth the wait! He’s got a heart as big as the Lone Star State itself and enough charm to melt even the toughest cowboy’s heart.

Chester is a kitty who is nervous around strangers and in new situations. So, as you can imagine, here at the adoption center you’ll likely see his stressed, hissy self. Once he’s settled in, he enjoys being around you, and will happily be a couch potato with you. He lived with a dog before, and would probably be ok with a low key dog, or a friendly younger cat.
Chester is hanging out in a less stressful area of the adoption center, so please ask staff for more info.
If you think this cat 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.
Preparing your home for your cat ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a cat that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new cat the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.
