My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Potato was brought in by his previous owner on August 4, 2024.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Potato, an adorable little guinea pig who's looking for a new home! He can be timid at first as he gets used to human companionship, so he appreciates a little extra time to come out of his shell. Potato came in with his sibling Chip #918914 and they can't imagine life without each other - so they'll need to be adopted together. Their friendship will certainly keep you entertained as Potato loves to chase Chip around their enclosure! Their home will need to be spacious (10+ square feet) so they can run around and stay in shape. They will thrive on a balanced diet of fresh veggies, Timothy hay, pellets and a daily dose of vitamin C. Enrichment toys and daily interaction will ensure these adorable piggies remain happy and healthy. If you'd like to learn more about adding Potato and Chip to your family, grab a secure carrier and head to our Oceanside Campus today!

More about this shelter

San Diego Humane Society, an open-admission shelter, is creating a more humane world by inspiring compassion and advancing the welfare of animals and people. Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

With campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego, we provide animal services for 14 cities within San Diego County. We not only care for 50,000 animals in our communities but also share the expertise we have gained through our innovative programs with shelters nationwide so they can save more lives in their communities.

While our influence is expanding nationally, our top priority is meeting the needs of San Diego. We provide exceptional care for all animals through world-class veterinary medicine, shelter and most of all: love.
