My story

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

How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by their previous owner.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Say hello to Ethel - And her Bestie Betty! Guinea pigs are small, silly furry potato-like creatures that live on a diet of grass and vegetables. Guinea pigs are herd animals, meaning they usually live in large groups! At home, it is best for a guinea pig to have another guinea pig friend of the same sex and Betty and Ethel are looking for a home together. They can share an enclosure that is no less than 47"x24"- but more space is always better. Because they prey animals, most guinea pigs may be nervous about being picked up. But once a guinea pig builds a relationship with their people, they enjoy snuggling in their adopter's laps for pets! TIP: the way to a guinea pigs heart is through their stomach with treats (did someone say cilantro?!)! They can be big talkers and will express how they are feeling with different sounds - be sure to listen, to get an idea of what they are telling you!

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.
