Small Animals in Foster Care

Pancakes & Waffles


Looking to start your mornings with a smile? Pancakes and Waffles are a laid-back duo ready to bring some charm (and a few squeaks) into your life.

Pancakes (the brave one up front) is always the first to say hello, especially if veggies are on the menu. Waffles (her loyal sidekick) prefers to hang back at first, but once she warms up, she’s just as curious and sweet. They’re gentle and low-key—the perfect match for someone who wants company without the chaos.

These two came to PAWS after their previous home couldn’t keep them, and they’re still learning to trust. But give them a calm space and some crunchy greens, and they’ll reward you with many squeaks. If you’ve been thinking about adopting but waiting for a sign—this is it. Pancakes and Waffles are ready to bring joy to your home. Come meet them and see just how sweet life can be.

Grits


Well kiss my Grits (is what you’ll be saying when he’s yours)!

A smol and sweet two year old Guinea pig who spends his mornings eager for fresh hay and veggies, Grits is little shy boy but extremely curious and getting more social by the day. A lover of greens, treats are an excellent gateway to building that bond and he has really taken to hanging in a lap or in his cuddle bed while watching fun shows in his foster home. Grits would love to team up in a home with another male piggy to share his days with!

Matteo & Milo


While you shouldn’t expect to find this father-son duo of Milo and Matteo outback having a catch, they would love nothing more than to come home with you to catch up on lost time and cuddles! These adorable piggies came to PAWS after their owner sadly passed away, so they are a little skittish but understandably so. Milo (brown/white) is smaller than his son, so we’re pretty sure he was already losing those one-on-one basketball games pretty early on in life, but they are loving and social once they settle into a home. They like to keep active with different enrichment tools and treats, so you shouldn’t need too much time and effort to win them over with some daily spoils. So, keep that thermostat set and prepare for some bad puns, poppa Milo and his boy Matteo are coming over for a LOT of dinners!
