My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MEET ALMOND!

Almond is looking for a loving home where he can spend his days popcorning around and enjoying a lots of salad and snacks. Whether you`re a seasoned guinea pig parent or a first-timer, Almond`s easygoing personality makes him a great fit for any family. When Almond has lived with other guinea pigs, he prefers to be in charge. This can be a bit intimidating for other piggie friends, so it will be important to introduce him to potential cagemates slowly. He could also live as a single piggie provided he gets lots of out-of-cage time with his person and plenty of fun toys to keep him occupied during the day! If you`re considering expanding your guinea pig family, Almond could be the missing piece to complete your herd.

Like any pet, guinea pigs require a lot of care and attention. It is important to familiarize yourself with their daily and long-term needs before adopting a new pig. Since guinea pigs are prey animals, they`ll need a little extra time and patience adjusting to their surroundings before their unique personalities can truly shine! Guinea pigs are talkative and clever, and make wonderful companions when they`ve bonded with you!

In order to adopt, we will need to approve a photo of the enclosure Almond will be living in before you take them home.

Almond has been seen by our vet team.
