My story

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

Hi there! My name is Octavia! I am a very sweet guinea pig, but I am still a little nervous around new people and fast hands. All I need is a little patience and a few yummy snacks and I will warm right up! I came to the SPCA with my two friends, Olympia and Onyx, because my family could no longer care for us, and we are now looking for a new family to call our own. I love to eat! I love greens and pellets, but Timothy hay is my favorite! I love to play in little piles of it and munch away all day. Do I sound like a good fit for you? Come meet me today!
The SPCA strongly encourages Adoption Holds to ensure I will be waiting to meet you when you arrive. To make an Adoption Hold, please call 831-373-2631. The Adoption Center is open to meet me without an Adoption Hold, however you may need to wait for an adoption time to become available and I may already be adopted. El SPCA recomienda las reservaciones para citas para asegurarse de que estaré esperando para encontrarme con usted cuando llegue. Para hacer una reservación de cita, por favor llame al 831-373-2631. El Centro de Adopciones está abierto para conocerme sin una reservación, sin embargo, es posible que deba esperar a que esté disponible el tiempo de adopción y puede que ya sea adoptado.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Four simple steps to adopt a pet
1. Visit the SPCA at 1002 Monterey-Salinas Highway across from WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Visit with the pet you are interested in adopting to see if his personality fits your lifestyle.
2. If you are adopting a new dog and already have one at home, you will need to introduce them at the SPCA to ensure a good match. When adopting, please bring your current dog with you. Our animal care staff will assist you with introducing your current dog to the dog you are hoping to adopt. We also prefer when possible that all family members living in the home meet any new pet before adopting.
3. The SPCA adoption process takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. All paperwork, vaccination records, and microchip information will be provided at this time.
4. Take your new lifelong family member home!

We understand that sometimes potential adopters are at work or school, coming from long distances, or need time to gather pets and family together to meet their potential new adoptee. Because of this, the SPCA offers a 24 hour hold on adoptable pets.
Holds cost $30 for a 24 hour period.
