Mallon is a sweet sweet boy who would enjoy a laid-back environment where he can feel safe and relax and maybe watch a little tv!
Mallon came from a large guinea pig surrendered to Saint Paul Animal Control and then transferred to MNPPR for medical treatment.
Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. This animal's foster parent prefers to meet at the Roseville PetSmart - 2480 Fairview Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113 for meet & greets, & adoptions.
