URGENT: The city shelter is full, and we can’t save more animals until we have space. By adopting or fostering one pet with PAWS, you’re saving two lives: the one you bring home, and the next one we can rescue in their place.

Bacon Bits


Who could say no to the wonderful addition of Bacon Bits? This quirky little side dish has main course energy and would love to find his new home with you! Once he gets a little time to adjust he loves to be held and spoiled with as many treats as possible — we suspect he was allowed to put his paw in the cookie jar too often with his previous family. He can also be a little snobbish when it comes to his hay, so you’ll have to explore some non-traditional options for that.

Bacon Bits was surrendered to PAWS with a few other piggies (another male and three females), but was a little too pushy and dominate with his one male counterpart and needed be to split up. Bacon Bits would still love to be an essential ingredient in your guinea pig salad, but would need a good adjustment period with confident and social male piggies.

Adzuki


Adzuki is a good egg and an adorable little bean of a pig, if we do say so ourselves. He came to PAWS along with a few other piggies, but needed to be separated from the other male when that one became a little too pushy with him. So, due to that, Adzuki would love to join another gaggle of guinea’s, but would be fine on his own with an active and attentive home. The quickest way to his heart is through his stomach, so offerings of tasting greens and the occasional grapes will win his favor in no time!

His brother, Bacon Bits, is also at our adoption center, but they likely would still need to be in separate homes unless you have extra space and time to work on their reintroductions in a less stressful location like your home.
