Small Animals for Adoption

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!

Grizz and Dot Com love their fruits and veggies!
Seriously, look at these two busy-bodies! They’re adorable!

Science Guy

Calling all science enthusiasts! Do you love learning about the natural world? Do you enjoy experimenting and discovering new things? Science Guy could be the piggie for you! Science Guy can’t wait to come home with you to hear about your discoveries and curiosities. Science Guy prefers to hang out in luxury on a pile of hay, just waiting to see what snacks (and discoveries!) you have to show him. Science Guy is pretty laid back and enjoys brief lap time sessions in a cuddle sack while receiving gentle back and neck strokes. If you’re looking for a cuddle buddy to curl up with while watching nature documentaries, he’s your guy! He provides a lovely calmness to balance out your busy day. He can’t wait to meet you!

Braeburn & McIntosh

Love doesn’t need to be seasonal. So, are you ready to Fall for Braeburn and McIntosh? Start spooky season off right with these ample and spoopy apple-themed brothers! They could use a little extra socialization and time to settle into their new home, but they aren’t too terribly skittish compared to your average schilling capybaras and respond well to treats…so spoil away!

Age: ~1 year old
