Gunnar is an easygoing fella ready to find a new home. This gentle boy enjoys a nice neighborhood stroll and a nice long nap afterwards. Gunnar has lived with kids and small animals in his history and could likely do so again. He might be able to live with another low energy dog, but he prefers not to share his favortite things so good management would be important. Gunnar is on medication for hypothyroidism and is being managed well. He also has a hot spot that we are helping treat. A good relationship with a vet will be important for this friend. If you are looking for a chill guy to spend your days with Gunnar could be the one for you!

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.
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.

Meet Spice! This sweet kitten has just recovered from being sick, and is looking for a soft place to land. She is feeling so much better, and he personality is starting to shine! She has been here for a while, and has missed a lot of her prime socialization time, so she can be a bit weary of new people and places. Her ideal adopters will take their time getting to know her and slowly introduce her to her new life. If you are looking for a sweet kitten, look no further than spice!
Meet Flopsy! At just 6 months Flopsy has already been through many transitions. She’s a sensitive girl who takes her time to settle into a new space. She was a bit overwhelmed in the shelter, so she’s been enjoying time in a foster home where she’s had an opportunity to learn all sorts of new things like how to roll around in the grass, that stretching out on a couch is very relaxing, and that stuffies are fun to parade around. Flopsy is most confident when she has her emotional support dogs there to help her, and is blossoming into a silly, sweet, wonderful little girl. Visit Northeast Animal Shelter to learn more about Flopsy!
This cat is part of our Working Cat Program! This program is for cats that are not well suited for an indoor-only type lifestyle but would thrive in environments with more space, a job, and/or less pressure from humans and other pets. Interested adopters must have a safe, secure structure or barn for a working cat and be able to provide adequate time for acclimation.
If you are interested, please stop in during our open hours.

*Please be sure your town regulations allow for guinea fowl on your property before you inquire about adoption!*
Worried about ticks and flies around your barn this summer? Our guinea fowl can help! We have several male guinea fowl available for adoption and they are experts at eating up any and all insects around your property. They are a bit shy and skittish around people, but get along with each other very nicely and have easily coexisted within a mixed flock of roosters and hens. They have stunning feathers and a very distinct voice when they get all riled up. They are a super entreating bunch who love to zoom around in their outdoor enclosure and perch up high in the sunshine.
We have several gorgeous geese available for adoption! Geese 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)! Geese make great flock protectors and these guys and gals would love a job to do.
Meet Babe! This lovable pig is ready to find his special home. Babe loves spending time laying around his pen, laying in his wallow on hot days, or munching on snacks. Given his lazier personality, Babe needs to have his diet carefully monitored. He takes a while to warm up to new people but once he does, he likes to spend time with his people. Babe would love to find a home where he can take his time settling in and not rushing into new situations. His new home would also help him continue his weight loss journey so he can live a healthy life. If you think Babe would be a good fit for your family, submit an adoption inquiry!

Rocky is a rambunctious little meatball looking for a special new home! This young guy is very spunky and loves to play and go for walks. Sometimes he can get a little too excited and needs a reminder to keep his feet on the ground and his mouth to himself. Rocky can be a bit mischevious and has a tendency to get into things he’s not supposed to, so he will need a family who has a good management plan in place.

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.

Michi and Mixi are a dynamic duo looking for their forever home together. These inseparable brothers have been through thick and thin together and have formed a bond that’s stronger than steel. They may be a bit shy at first, but once they feel safe and secure, their true personalities may shine through. They would thrive in a calm and patient household with owners who understand their need for time to adjust. They’re not big fans of loud noises or sudden movements, so a tranquil environment would be perfect for them. A home without young children or other pets would be ideal, as they prefer each other’s company above all else.
