My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Sprout was brought in by their previous owner on November 13, 2024.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Sprout, who can be timid at first and is still getting used to human companionship. We know that once he adjusts, he'll blossom into a wonderful guinea pig! Male guinea pigs need large enclosures with a lot of ground space (10+ square feet) to run around and stay healthy. An easy and inexpensive way to give your guinea pig a DIY palace is called a C&C fleece lined cage (Google it!). They will need unlimited timothy hay to munch on, extra space to run around in, and toys to keep him active and enriched! Healthy greens, veggies, and pellets are also an essential part of his diet, as well as a daily dose of vitamin C! If you'd like to learn more about adding Sprout to your family, come in and ask about them today! Don't forget to bring a secure carrier for safe transport home!

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.
