More about Mila:
I have the potential to be a sweet, gentle companion with a very cat-savvy adopter who is willing to put in the extra effort to help me come out of my shell.
Expectations should be kept low at first, and understand that I will need time (weeks to a month or more) to show more of my true personality. Based on history in my previous home I will probably always be a bit skittish with new people, so a low-traffic, quiet home will be best for me. I will do best with people within my bubble (after time), but I am not be the type of cat to go up and greet visitors.
I need to start out in a single room with limited visits by people except when feeding or cleaning. Only when I am confidently moving about my environment and am confident with relaxed body language when my adopter enters the room should I be given access to more of the house, one room at a time using baby gates to restrict access.
Staff is available to my adopter should questions arise on how to help me adjust in my new home!
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Compatibility:
Cats: No thank you
Dogs: No thank you
Kids: Older, quiet and cat-savvy
Taylor is a shy little lady looking for a very special home. She is one of the dogs that came to us from a commercial breeding facility, so she is still learning that people are her friends. Taylor is looking for a quiet home where she can take all the time she needs to adjust to a home environment. She is slowly starting to get more curious in the shelter, but she is not quite ready to make friends yet. We’re hoping to find Taylor a family that understands she isn’t ready to be touched or snuggled, but our hope is that one day she might. Understandably, she’s been also been a bit nervous around other dogs since she’s been with us. She might be able to live with another low key dog friend, but will need lots of management to help keep her comfortable. Taylor is still learning all the dog things like walking on a leash, so patience will be key for Taylor’s family!

Bay Coast is a sweet and affectionate Arabian mare who is ready to find her perfect home! We don’t know much about her history, but she has settled in remarkably well to her new life at Nevins. She is easy to halter and lead out to her paddock and stands nicely for vet care. She does need a little bit of patience and practice with the farrier, but this good girl truly just wants to please. We are not sure if Bay Coast ever had a riding career and are looking for a companion-only home for her at this time. She has started to work on some basic ground work and we will update as we learn more about her!
Bay Coast loves to be doted on and will seek you out to demand attention and scratches if you are in her paddock or stall with her. Picking up her feet is still a work in progress but she will let you brush her till your hands fall off if she has it her way!
Bay Coast is a hardy girl who has easily lived outside 24/7 with access to a run-in shed as well as come into a stall at night with day turnout. She has been turned out with multiple different groups of mares without issue – in fact she seems to keep to herself or spend most of her day eating hay. That being said she would really like the companionship of other horses and can struggle when some of her closer friends are taken from her group.
Bay Coast is up to date on all vet an farrier care and is ready to find her person! If that might be you please click the inquire button above and fill out an inquiry for a horse or farm animal.
Koba is a very handsome, squishy boy who has a good history of living with
kids, dogs and cats. He is crate trained and house trained. And he is
ready to play a long, long game of fetch. Get ready! This sweet guy is a
bit worried and has had a tough time with some of his recent transitions.
He will need some time and space to adjust to his new living arrangements.
Good boy Koba loves people yet needs some help working on how to best ask
for that attention. His ideal adopters will continue his manners
training. At the shelter, Koba has enjoyed playdates with other dogs and
enjoys their company. His play style is a little boisterous so his dog
friends will need to match his energy level.
If you think Koba would be a good fit for your family, come visit him at
the MSPCA in Methuen Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-4:30pm.

Edna Mode is just as iconic as you remember–except now she’s an incredible guinea pig! Eddie will start off shy as most guinea pigs do, but once she’s comfortable, she won’t hesitate to show off her spunky personality. Due to her larger than life personality and diva-licious attitude, Edna is not looking for a cagemate, but may enjoy a nextdoor neighbor pig or two! Eddie loves to snuggle with her people and is excited to be a WFH desk buddy or Netflix pal. When she’s not snoozing under her favorite hand towel, Eddie can be found wheeking up a storm and popcorning around her enclosure. Edna is available from foster and is NOT in the shelter, so if you’d like to see about making her a part of your family, email sgoldman@mspca.org or come into the shelter to speak to staff to learn more.

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.

Pinky is ready to find a new home of her own! We are not sure what this
good girl is mixed with, but we think she will likely be on the larger
side. She is still learning the ropes and will need a patient family to
teach her all the doggie basics like walking on a leash and housetraining.
She could likely go to a home with another dog who could be a role model to
an annoying younger sibling. Pinky has been through lots of transitions in
her short life and is looking for a home that can help her figure out the
world in a safe and fun way!

Meet Steve! This big handsome love bug is ready for a soft place to land and loving family! Because of their history, transitions are likely to be difficult for this dog. They’ll need an adopter willing to make adjustments to the environment based on the dog’s body language and behavior. They may take extra time and patience for the first weeks to months in the home, focusing first on adjusting to their new environment and routine without too many expectations, and later extending to learning about manners in an out of the home. Once you give him the time he needs to adjust, he is sure to bring endless love and laughter into your life! Come meet him today!
Steve is heartworm positive, and is available for Foster to Adopt while we begin his treatment.
Cornelia is a sweet senior lady with nary a tooth in her mouth. This little granny came to us from a commerical breeding facility, but now she is ready to spend her golden years in a loving lap. Despite her abnormal history Cornelia loves to meet people and getting gentle head scratches are her favorite. She prefers to be with her people and is looking for a home where she doesn’t have to be alone very often. Corenlia can be a little forward with other dogs, but could likely do fine with other easygoing pets in the home.
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!

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.

Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

We have several adorable Welsh Harlequin female ducks available for adoption! Ducks are very social animals, so we’d love to send these birds home in pairs at least (and even better if you already have a flock for them to join)! They have beautiful coloring on their feathers and love to splash in their pool!
