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!
Meet Zeus! A perpetual, fast-moving wiggle butt, watch his enthusiam adorably take over when he says “hello”! He’s a high energy guy and he’s got the muscles to prove it, but in addition to exercise, he will also need some help learning how to settle – he may not be the “Netflix and chill” type at home to begin with. Zeus has previously lived with a cat, but due to his size and strength introductions should be slow.

Penny lane is a sweet young rabbit looking for her next home!
We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows a rabbit to stretch their legs and move around. The needs of each rabbit are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rabbit you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice

Vik is a very social young rat, who enoys hanging out on shoulders!
Rats are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! Due to the highly social nature of rats we prefer to match them with homes with existing rats, or to adopters looking to take home two or more rats. Rats can be food driven (and great foragers!) making them excellent animals to train. We always recommend the use of positive reinforcement training with your animals, and are happy to provide more information on this topic.
We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows the rat plenty of space to exercise. The minimum cage size should be 2’x2.5’x2’, with good ventilation (no glass enclosures) and must have a solid base. Preferably the shelter includes multiple levels, with appropriate use of linens or paper bedding and lots of rat appropriate toys. Rats should never be housed with other animals, each species should always have its own housing.
The needs of each rat are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rat you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Mila could do well in a variety of households with folks who are excited about helping an enthusiastic, active girl to become the best version of herself!

Are you looking for a dog with the perfect medium amount of energy? Look no
further than Patty. This best girl does not want to go for a lengthy run.
However, in her beagley way, she will never, ever turn down a long sniffly
walk. And she is a very good loose leash walker. Just ask her. Patty can
also be the perfect couch buddy for some binge watching. Her history says
that she likes some dogs and not others. She is also not a fan of cats.
Poor Patty has been through a number of changes recently and will benefit
from an adopter that will give her time and room to decompress and adjust
to her new home. Children who are old enough to give her space when she
needs it would be perfect. Would you like to meet this good girl? Come to
the MSPCA at Nevins Farm Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-4:30PM.
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.

Jack (Parson) Russell Terrier / Labrador Retriever
Boston
Female
2 Years
Valerie
Jack Russell/Lab Mix
2 Years Old
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!
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.

Ash
Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Nevins Farm
Male
1 Years
Meet young Ash. This is a happy go lucky guy with a lot of energy. He
loves to play and is getting good at walking on a leash. Oh, dont let that
adorable face fool you. This puppy will require a bit more training with
polite greetings and to use that puppy mouth appropriately. Luckily, Ash
loves his snacks and will train for cookies. This good boy is looking to
join a home with kids that will help with training. The best situation
would be if he could live with an older, patient dog that will teach him
the ropes and want to play with a silly puppy. We have no history of what
Ash thinks of cats, so a dog-savvy cat would be a possibility.
Does Ash sound like the boy for you? If so, please head to the Methuen
MSPCA location Tuesday-Sunday between the hours of 12PM-4:30PM!

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.

Meet Ginger, a spirited adult female canine searching for her forever family. Initially cautious around new faces, Ginger blossoms into an exuberant, playful companion once she feels secure. Though her enthusiasm can lead to some jumpy moments, she’s diligently refining her etiquette. Any potential furry siblings should rendezvous with her at the shelter to ensure harmony in their future home.
Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion!

Meet Roxanne, the squishiest little meatball! She is looking for a new home where she can romp around and get lots of snuggles! She is still working on some of the puppy basics, such as housetraining and jumping when excited, but we think she’s well on her way to being the best pup around! Roxanne lived with kids and dogs in her foster home and did well with them. She loves to give kisses and snuggle with any size human and is the perfect mix of cuddly and playful!
