Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Cappuccino, this lovely lady is looking for a new home. She can be a little nervous at first, however once she knows you she warms up and allows you to hold her. If you can't find her check the hay bag, this girl is a bit of a chow hound and has a tendency to fall asleep in the hay. She does well with children and has interacted with 2 years and up! She is also pretty chill when it comes to the other animals in the foster home and seems unfazed by their sounds.
She would prefer to be your one and only, so long as you spoil her. She has successfully lived with two other Guinea pigs, however she can be pretty moody and it will take extremely slow introductions to any other pig.
Her adoption fee is $35.
Guinea pigs are incredibly social animals who need to be kept in pairs/groups to thrive. They need lots of space to run around in, and toys to keep them active and enriched! They should get daily "floor time" outside of their cage. This time outside of the cage will be great for bonding and growing closer with them!
Diet Requirements:
-Grass hay available at all times
-Small amount of timothy pellets
-Daily Vitamin C - can get from veggies like red pepper, kale, mustard greens, dandelion greens, and other leafy greens.
Cage Requirements: Many cages sold at pet stores are too small for guinea pigs. We can talk with you about the best options during your adoption call.
If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways:
Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt.
**the below two methods are slower than visiting us**
Call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us (springfield@dakinhumane.org) for more information about a pet. We are often on the line with another client, but we return voice mail and emails within 24 hours.
