Meet our smushy and sweet girl Nelly! Nelly is a 5 year old dog who is energetic, smart, and loves her people! While she requires a little bit of time to get lovey with her new family, once she knows you she is sweet as a peach. Nelly is looking for adopters who are willing to give her adult-self adequate time and space to fully transition into her new home, as she`s been through a lot of change in a pretty short period of time. This means respecting her boundaries, and taking it slow while she gets to know everyone in the home.

Bonus: Nelly appears to be house-trained already, but adopters should understand that in a new setting it might take her some time to always make the mark! Nelly is currently looking to go to a home where she is the only pet, but has the potential to live in a neighborhood that has dogs in it- so long as her people are diligent in how they go about doing introductions! Nelly has no known experience living with kids, but could likely do well with teens who are able to read dog body language and give her space while she settles in.

If Nelly sounds like a fit for your home, feel free to stop by our Cape Adoption Center 1PM-4PM Tuesday-Sunday!

Audio is an adorable 1 year old Nigerian Dwarf cross doe. She is very shy, but will surely warm up to people with time, patience, and snacks!

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!

Hunter came to us from a Southern shelter, so we have no history of this
good boy. Although this dog takes a bit of time to warm up to people,
after that you are best friends. Hunter is the perfect size dog, very
handsome in appearance, and loves other dogs. In fact, since he is a bit
shy and nervous, Hunter would do really well living with a calm companion
dog that can help him be brave. He is also looking for an adopter that
will give him time to adjust to his new environment and keep his world
small and controlled. This will give Hunter the time to build some comfort
and confidence. We dont know his opinion of cats, so a dog savvy cat is a
possibility. And kids that can help with Hunters training would be an added
benefit.

Do you want to meet this good boy? Come meet Hunter at the MSPCA in Methuen
12PM-4:30PM Tuesday-Sunday.

Purple Cow & Jerry are a bonded pair ready for their next home!

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!

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.

Seeking companionship? Your search might just end with Lucy. Lucy is an
old soul who is a big fan of fetch. While she might take a few minutes
to warm up, once she does youll see her sweetness shining through. Lucy
has had housetraining and will need to practice when she gets to her new
home. She would also benefit from some time to decompress and learn about
her new environment. Lucy is a very curious girl and she cannot wait to
investigate all of your shelves and counters! Lucy can live with calm dog
companions who are more interested in being friends than in high energy
play. Lucy is open to sharing a home with a feline friend who understands
doggy etiquette and can participate in a gradual introduction. Lucy would
do well in a home with kids who are attuned to her signals and can read her
body language. Adopters will also need to be comfortable supporting Lucy in
managing a medical issue – Lucy is still building her confidence with
being handled by the vet.

Want to meet Lucy? Visit the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in Methuen Tuesday-Sunday
12PM-4:30PM.

Introducing Daisy! As beautiful as her flowery name suggests, Daisy is also just as sensitive. She came to us from an overcrowded kennel situation in TX and we know very little about her history, but we do know that she has been sweet with the adoption staff here. With some patience and an adopter who can take a gentle approach to helping her settle in, we know she’ll blossom into the best pup she can be! Daisy is looking for a lower-traffic home. She could potentially live with older children who have some shy dog skills under their belt, potentially cats, or another well-matched dog.

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.

Valerie is a sweet and social little lady who can’t wait to find a home of her own. Valerie came to us from a southern shelter so we don’t know much about her past, but she had some old injuries so we think she might have had a run in with a car at some point. Unfortunately, she had a broken leg that could not be repaired, so she is now a cute little tripod and getting around just fine! Valerie loves to meet new people and is a very snuggly girl, but she can also be really silly and playful when she gets going! She has been through lots of transitions in a short period of time, so she is looking for a home that can give her time to settle in and learn at her own pace. We’re not sure what breeds she is mixed with, but she is a perfectly medium size!

Cholula, Tapatio, and Texas Pete 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!
