MSPCA seeking adopters for animals saved from Middleborough home

MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. (WLNE) — The MSPCA-Angell is looking for homes for the animals that were saved from a Middleborough home in October.

The MSPCA has been caring for eight dogs, six horses, two cats, and one guinea pig since working with local authorities to seize the animals back on October 18.

The organization initially cared for all 17 of the dogs involved, but has since returned some to Middleborough Animal Control.

One of the dogs, Gumby, is looking to be adopted.

Gumby has fully luxated patellas, which means that his knee caps are permanently popped out.

“Despite that, he’s still mobile and, given how friendly and spirited he is, we know that he’ll be able to live a happy life with adopters who are willing to help him navigate the world in his own special way,” said MSPCA-Angell Vice President of Animal Protection, Mike Keiley.

The MSPCA-Angell said they expect all the animals to become available for adoption at different times over the next several weeks.

The cats and guinea pig are available now at the MSPCA’s Boston Adoption Center.

The dogs, including Gumby, will be posted to the organization’s available animal page here.

According to the organization, the horses will need at least a few more weeks at Nevins Farm before they’ll be ready for new homes.
