Small Animals in Foster Care
Grizz and Dot Com
Meet Grizz and Dot Com! From lounging to snacking to hanging out on your lap, these adorable boys are happiest doing life together! Dot Com is the more outgoing of the pair. He’ll come up to greet you or hang out at the entrance of his house so he can see what’s going on. Grizz is more timid, but lots of treats and attention are helping him come out of his shell. Though they’re both on the quiet side, they love veggies and herbs of all types (dill and carrots are favorites) and will definitely let you know when it’s snack time!
If there’s one thing Dot Com and Grizz excel at, it’s relaxing! Both piggies love to have soft pillows and hideaways in their shared cage to stretch out and nap on. They’re more than happy to snuggle up and soak up the pets—and will probably give you piggy kisses in return—but they also appreciate just doing their own thing with their humans nearby. If a calm, sweet pair of guinea pigs is what you’re looking for, Grizz and Dot com will be just the duo for you!
Age: both about ~2 years old

Chipwich and Sundae
Both piggies are very sweet – they share a cage and have their own little separate igloos for sleepy time, but sometimes will opt to nap together! Chipwich is very people-curious and loves veggie snacks; Sundae is more demure though is very intro greens for treats.
Age: both about 6-7 months old

Bill Nye and Science Guy
Calling all science enthusiasts! Do you love learning about the natural world? Do you enjoy experimenting and discovering new things? Then Bill Nye and Science Guy are the piggies for you! Bill Nye and Science Guy can’t wait to come home with you to hear about your discoveries and curiosities. While Bill Nye is the more skittish of the pair, he is quite the explorer himself. He loves investigating tunnels and crumpled paper balls in his exercise pen. Science Guy prefers to hang out in luxury on a pile of hay, just waiting to see what Bill Nye has discovered. Bill Nye loves mealtime and wheeks with excitement as soon as he hears you fixing his bowl. After all that nutrition, dinner is always followed by a good session of the zoomies. Science Guy is more laid back and enjoys brief lap time sessions in a cuddle sack while receiving gentle back and neck strokes. This pair provides the perfect balance of energetic enthusiasm and mellow calmness. They can’t wait to meet you!
Age: both about 1 year old
