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.

Romeo is a sweet and handsome boy who is looking for a special home! He was a very shy boy when he first came to us, but now that he has made some friends he is super friendly and cuddley. Romeo came to us after having a urinary obstruction, which means he needs to be on a special prescription food to help prevent this from happening again. It will be important for Romeo’s new family to have a good relationship with a vet and know what signs to look out for if he begins to block again. We’re hopeful that with a quiet, low traffic home and the right diet Romeo can stay a happy and healthy boy!If you think this cat could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center.

Meet Azula! This sweet girl is looking for her forever home with sister Toph! Azula would love a home where she has lots of space to share with her sister. She loves to munch on her Timothy hay, or take a snooze during the day. Azula and her sister are still working on sharing – so they will each need their own items (meaning 1 bowl each, and more than one hiding spot).

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.

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.

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’re 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.

Trust us – she’s even cuter in person! Muffin is an older pony mare who is looking for a companion-only home with her best friend Buggsy.
Muffin was a bit shy and avoidant of touch when we first met her, but she has fallen into a great rhythm with us and is now easy to halter in her stall, lead to her paddock, and catch for turn in. She is an easy keeper and seems quite hardy and healthy! Muffin does well living out 24/7 and stalling overnight with day time turn out. She is super flexible!
We wouldn’t go so far as to say she is a kid-safe pony yet, but it is possible she could get there with some time and patience. She has been straightforward for us to work with and hasn’t offered a bite, kick, or rear. She does require an experienced handler for vet care, but has also improved greatly for this type of handling in the time we’ve had her. She stands well for the farrier and tolerates grooming – we think she’ll enjoy it one day when she finds a family who will dote on her!
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.

Meet Steak! This sweet girl is looking for her new forever home! Hamsters are crepuscular, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk. During the day Steak can be found taking a nap with her cage mate Drake. When she is awake, Ms. Steak keeps herself busy by running on her exercise wheel, or digging new tunnels in her bedding. As she grows she would love a bigger enclosure, where she can continue tunneling and making secret spots for all her snacks.

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.

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.
