Matteo & Milo


While you shouldn’t expect to find this father-son duo of Milo and Matteo out back 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!

Age: ~1 year old (Matteo) and ~ 3 years old (Milo)

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 or two to keep him happy and active!
