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!

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. He provides a lovely balance of energetic enthusiasm and mellow calmness. He can’t wait to meet you!

Bill Nye

Bill may seem skittish at first, but once he feels safe, he loves to explore and investigate everything around him. He’s very curious and has a lot of energy. He likes to run around his enclosure when he gets excited, especially before meals, when he’ll also wheak in anticipation. Dinner is often followed by the zoomies. He generally gets antsy during lap time, but he did enjoy a longer 10 minute session for the first time this week, soaking up all the pets. So far, he’s given his stamp of approval for collard greens, bok choy, green leaf lettuce, dandelion greens, and diced tomato, cucumber, and green bell pepper. He’s really fun and adapts pretty quickly to change.
