Chencho
5 years old
American Bully

Have you ever dreamt of having your very own house hippo? Well dream no further! Chencho is the chunkiest house hippo on the block and is ready to dazzle you with his ample good looks and charm. This large couch potato would make a great companion in a variety of households as long as there are plenty of scritches available for him! He is not a fan of sharing his favorite things, so he would do best in a home without young children. He might be able to live with another dog with plently of management. Chencho seems to have some allergies so it will be important to have a close relationship with a veterinarian to keep him feeling his best. Regardless, he promises to wiggle his way into your heart in no time!

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 to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

*Chencho is currently in a foster home so would require a second visit to meet him in person*

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 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.

She can be worried in new situations and is looking for someone to give her time and space to feel cozy/comfortable but once shes opened up, she gets excited easily and loves to play! While she and her adopters get to know each other, her bubble should be kept small and predictable. Additionally, her adopters should be prepared for all things puppy: house training, puppy-proofing, and working on fine-tuning her manners using a gentle approach. Any kids in the home should be old enough to give her space while shes settling in, and to participate in training once shes more comfortable in the home.

Cyrus is a good boy that really loves to be with his people. He is also a
very trainable dog that already knows commands like sit, down and roll
over. What do you think he should learn next? He is already housetrained
(though he might need a refresher after living in the shelter). And he
loves, loves rope toys and plushies. This good boy can entertain himself!
Cyrus will need a patient adopter to help him with training. He can get
excited easily so he should only live with children big enough not to be
tipped over by a bouncy boy. He could probably live with a more relaxed
dog because he can be a bit nervous and worried around other dogs. And he
could possibly live with a very dog savvy cat.

Cyrus is looking for a family of his own. Do you think you are his
family? Meet Cyrus at the Methuen MSPCA Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-4:30PM.

Baby is a sweet, sassy, senior chihuahua lady looking for a home to spend her golden years! Baby has a big personality and loves to wander around exploring her environment. She can be a bit reacitve to noises and other dogs from a distance, but she could likely live with a low key dog friend who is looking for a napping buddy. Baby loves to alternate between snuggling with her people and getting cozy in her own bed. She would likely do best in a low traffic home where she can hang out with her people often!

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!

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!

Cleopatra and Sinbad came in together and would love to go home together!

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 give us a call! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

* 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 .

We’re Rico and Tito, a dynamic duo of chihuahua mix brothers on the hunt for our new home! Life’s been a bit sheltered for us so far, but that just means we’re experts in the art of cuddling and cuteness.

We’ll admit, we’re a tad shy at first, but give us some time and patience, and we’ll shower you with more love and affection than you can handle.

We’re looking for a calm home with no young kids running around – we prefer our quiet time for naps and cozy cuddles. And while we’d love to stick together like peanut butter and jelly, we understand if you can only handle one dollop of chihuahua love at a time.

So, if you’re ready to add a sprinkle of spice and everything nice to your life, swing by and speak to adoption staff about us, Rico and Tito! We promise to fill your days with endless tail wags and adorable antics.

Calling all heroes!

We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Dolly. She is a 3 year old, and has a progressive case of FeLV – or Feline Leukemia Virus – which will shorten her lifespan, and we are hoping to find her a loving indoor-only home where she can live out her life. Despite her diagnosis, she can be social and affectionate with those she knows, once she is comfortable in her new space. Dolly 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

Meet Joanna Barbara
1 yr.

Meet Joanna! This sweet lady is looking for her new forever home! She made friends here quickly, and would love to live with another parakeet, or multiples! She enjoys chatting with friends, preening together, and eating her millet spray.

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.

If you haven’t picked out an enclosure yet, we’d love to help! The Association of Avian Veterinarians has a chart on the minimum cage dimensions that are acceptable for housing the birds we commonly see in our adoption center. As a rule of thumb, get the largest cage you can provide—the bigger the better!

A few important recommendations

SIZE: Wire or mesh cages are preferred that are at least 1.5 to 2 times the wingspan of the bird in all directions. When a bird spreads both wings out, there should be enough room so the wings and tail are not touching any cage bars including top or bottom. The bird should be able to easily spin around on a perch without the tail hitting any cage bars including top/bottom of the cage. The cage should be big enough that the bird can fly with ease from the bottom of the cage to the top without the wings touching any cage bars or any other obstacles (like toys).

BAR SPACING: Make sure the spacing of the bars is small enough that your bird cannot escape! Select a finger or fingers that appear to be the same thickness as the bird’s wing. When checking bar spacing, if your finger or fingers (thickness) fits between the cage bar spacing, then the cage bar spacing is not proper for that bird (a bird could get harmed).

We suggest covering wire mesh platforms or bottoms with a layer of newspaper or other solid surface as exposed wire can cause abrasions to feet, as well as possibly catch and break toes and tails

More about Jax:

I am very very sweet with people. I am calm and lazy, and I like to cuddle!!

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 had a hissy reaction to a dog I saw here at the shelter, but I might be okay with a mellow dog that will respect my space. My adopter should be savvy in handling slow-managed introductions.

I am a big (and handsome!) guy. I need an adopter who is willing to work with their vet and willing to help me along my weight loss journey. Due to my size I definitely need an over-sized litter box.

A fear-free vet is recommended, and I may need a sedative for close handling.

The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Compatibility:
Cats: No thanks! Has a history of fighting with another cat in previous home
Dogs: Possibly – no history – see above
Kids: Possibly – no history

Kookie, Sugar & Coco are a bonded trio!

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!
