We have 12 rats available for adoption from our Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, MA! 9 of whom are 4 week old babies 🐀 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 are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! 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. Rats are clean, intelligent, entertaining, and make excellent pets.

Come by during open hours, 11:30-5 daily, to adopt! No appointment needed.

Meet Chocolate, the 14-year-old Chihuahua who’s living her best life—mostly by napping, snuggling under blankets, and pretending she’s a tiny, luxurious pillow. She’s a low-key queen who enjoys the finer things in life, like soft spots on the couch and quiet cuddle sessions.

Chocolate gets along with mellow dogs, respectful kids, and even cats—just don’t expect her to be the life of the party. She’s sweet, but not a fan of too much handling, so give her space and she’ll give you all the love. If you’re looking for a senior snuggle buddy who’s an expert in relaxation, Chocolate is your girl!

If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm

We are so happy to share that nearly 80 dogs found new homes during our Home for the Holidays adoptathon! Thank you to everyone who adopted and shared the news to help these sweeties find the loving homes they deserve. Still looking for a fur friend for the holidays? Check out mspca.org/adoptadog!

Meet Happy, a sweet senior fella looking for his new home. His previous owner passed away so we have limited information on him. Here at the shelter he has been slow to warm up but after a few chin scritches, he will melt into the palm of your hand! Happy would likely do best in a quiet, low-traffic home where he can live out the rest of his golden years in peace. He has been previously declawed in his front paws, so he should be an indoor-only kitty.

If you think this cat could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm – no appointment or application needed.

This is Olive, formerly known as Rose, who is relaxing hard in her new home after being adopted from MSPCA-Northeast Animal Shelter recently 💙 there's nothing we love more than seeing our MSPCA alum comfy and cozy with their adoptive families!!

Did you adopt a pet from the MSPCA? We'd love to see some photos of how they're doing in the comments!!

We have several lovely Muscovy ducks available for adoption! Ducks are very social animals, so we’d love to send these birds home in pairs or home to their very own flock! Ducks are such a fun addition to any backyard flock and are quite happy as long as they have plenty of water to splash around in.

The adoption fee for a duck is $15. To inquire about adopting a farm animal, please fill out the form at mspca.org/nevinsadopt.

At Angell Animal Medical Center, our Avian and Exotics team provides comprehensive care for unique animals like guinea pigs, offering wellness exams, specialized treatments, and emergency services to keep your exotic pets healthy and happy. Whether it’s a wellness check-up or a more complex procedure, our expert team is here for you.

This adorable skinny pig, Lychee Martini, was recently seen by Dr. Sullivan for a growth biopsy (luckily just a sebaceous cyst!) and a check-up for minor skin issues. Lychee and her skinny pig siblings: Cranberry Vodka, Cherry Paloma, Peach Bellini, and Plum Sangria are regulars at Angell and are loved by the entire exotics team. With a history of emergency visits and expert care, they’ve become a big part of the Angell family. Sadly, we said goodbye earlier this year to Mango Margarita, who was cared for by our team throughout her month-long health battle.

We’re so grateful for the role our Avian and Exotics team is able to play in the health and well-being of all of your pets.

Follow along with the adventures of these fruity friends on Instagram .roja.pets!

PS - this Guinea pig has a loving family, but if you're called to be a pig parent we have about 30 Guinea pigs currently waiting for homes in our adoption centers! mspca.org/adoption

We have a sweet pair of Sugar Gliders available for adoption at our Boston Adoption Center. These 7 year old girls are definitely on the more social side and tolerate being held and picked up. Sugar Gliders have complex dietary and husbandry needs, so make sure to do some research before adopting! If you’re prepared to add a sugar glider to your home, stop by our Boston Adoption Center Tuesday-Sunday, 12-3. Make sure to bring a photo of your enclosure for them!

Cranium got to meet Santa Paws today. He is definitely on the nice list!! He told Santa that all he wants for Christmas is YOU!

This 5 month old pup is gaining more confidence every day and is blossoming into a very sweet boy. He would do really well in a home with a confident helper dog friend.

Cranium got his name from his big noggin, which our vets think might be mild hydrocephalus. They’re not too concerned about it right now since he doesn’t have any symptoms, but a good relationship with your vet would be good. Come to our Boston Adoption Center to adopt him - open 12-3 Tuesday-Thursday!

How many cats do you see in this photo? Hint, it’s more than one. Luna wants to be the center of attention, and her sister Stella is more than happy to give her the spotlight. Basically, Luna’s cheer captain and Stella’s on the bleachers. These 8 year old sisters make the perfect duo with their well balanced personalities. Luna is going to want all the petting and loving and attention, and while Stella gets a lot of confidence from watching her sibling show off, she’ll prefer to hang out on the sidelines. They will thrive together in a quiet, adult only home that will accept them just as they are. If you’re looking to expand your universe with some stellar cats, ask for them by name at the Boston adoption center since they are spending their days waiting for a new home in a staff office. Open Tues-Sun 12-3, no appointment needed!!

We’d like to introduce a very special kitten named Mateo. He is a 16 week old, and has a regressive case of FeLV – or Feline Leukemia Virus – which we recommend retesting in 6 months. Despite his diagnosis, he is a social and affectionate baby! Mateo would need to be the only cat in the household. Interested adopters should come in to learn more and shelter staff will provide additional counseling on FeLV and answer any questions at the time of adoption.

If you think this cat could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by MSPCA at Northeast Animal Shelter. We have open adoption hours 11:30am-5pm daily – no appointment or application needed.

💙 This dog has been in the shelter for a long time, and he is struggling. We would really love to see him go home this weekend! Please share! 💙

*** Adoption Fee Waived December 5 - 8 as part of our Home for the Holidays event***

Meet Marshmellow, a lively and playful husky mix who exudes excitement wherever he goes. Marshmellow is a big fan of outdoor adventures and activities. He gets so happy when someone takes him running that he cant resist stopping to roll on his back, celebrating the moment with pure, unfiltered joy!

He recently got back to the shelter after spending time in a foster home where we were able to learn a lot about him! Most excitingly, after some activity, he enjoys curling up with his person – which often involve him snuggling on his persons lap! We also learned he is housebroken, he worked on building skills for crate training but was able to settle himself well when left alone, and loved meeting people of all ages.

Marshmellow is a smart pup who in his foster home and at the shelter, enjoys training while out on walks and is hoping to find an adopter willing to continue working with him. He is looking for an adopter who understands dog body language, is excited to build a relationship with him at his own pace, and appreciates his goofy antics. With the right guidance and support, he'll flourish and be a great companion.

Marshmellow would prefer to be your only dog in the home. He has lived with a cat previously - we would still recommend complete separation and a slow introduction. He could live with older kids who are comfortable with big dogs and can participate in his training.

If you think Marshy could be a good match for your home and would like to
learn more, stop by the MSPCA in Methuen. We are open 12PM to 4:30PM on
Tuesdays through Sundays.

This gorgeous 3-year-old is a smart, eager learner who’s looking for an adopter excited to help her settle into home life. Sasha’s bursting with potential but can get a bit jumpy and mouthy when her excitement peaks—she is looking for someone patient and positive to show her the ropes. With a calm setup, plenty of structure, and a gentle training plan, Sasha will thrive. If you’re ready for a sweet, trainable companion who’ll keep you laughing, Sasha might be the perfect match for you!If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by MSPCA Northeast Animal Shelter.
