Hudson is spunky lab mix who is ready for his next adventure. At 7 years old he still has plenty of pep in his step and loves to play fetch! He loves meeting new people and going for walks, but can be a little unsure about meeting other dogs. Hudson prefers to be around his people as often as possible, but once he settles will likely be okay to spend some time home alone.

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 are 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.
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 .
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.
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.

Say hi to Loki! He is playful, smart, and sweet. This handsome husky loves to play fetch and go for sniffy walks, and is already house trained! He is a typical husky in that he loves to run, although he’s a calm and mild mannered boy inside. He would love a home where he can get long walks or hikes/runs regularly, and then snuggle up on the couch for some belly rubs or playtime.
He has previously lived with other dogs but hasn’t met many outside of the house. He could potentially do well living alongside another dog or a dog-savvy cat pending a slow introduction.
Interested in adopting a dog? Stop by our open hours!
*Loki is not neutered yet and cannot go home on the same day*

If you’re ready to open your heart to this special kitty, come meet him today!
