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.

Small Animals at our Old City Adoption Center

Penelope

Penelope just arrived directly to PAWS from her previous owner, so you’ll have to excuse her awkwardness while we all get to know each other. Penelope brings some classic guinea pig vibes with her, right down to the look and the meeps, so wherever she lands next we’re sure she will excel at being adored!

Age: ~1 year old
