My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Emile and Walter Jr. were brought in by their previous owner on October 30, 2024.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Walter Jr. and Emile, a sweet pair of guinea pigs ready to bring double the charm to your home! Walter Jr. is the social butterfly of the duo, enjoying cuddles and handling with ease. His best friend Emile is a bit on the shy side, but don't let that fool you-once he feels comfortable, he'll eagerly come up to say hello. These inseparable buddies are looking for a loving home where they can stay together and share their unique personalities with their new family. 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. They will need unlimited timothy hay to munch on, extra space to run around in, and toys to keep them active and enriched! Healthy greens, veggies, and pellets are also an essential part of their diet, as well as a daily dose of vitamin C! Are you ready to welcome this adorable pair? 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.
