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 for Adoption

Small Animals in Foster Care


We have no available Guinea Pigs in our foster program. Please check out our adoption center residents below!

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!

Boomer


Most piggies may not be able to afford their own home (maybe if they just spent less money on their hay and lettuce), and they’ll probably be paying off those student loans until around the retirement age of 4 years, but this is Boomer…and he’s ok.

Boomer was found being dumped out of a car in Fishtown, but unlike our friends with similar stories and the 3.2 Uber rating to match, a good samaritan scooped him up and brought him into to find a home. This young lad will need some help getting up to speed on the socialization side, but he has two things already in his favor; he’s a baby, and he’s adorable. He would benefit greatly from a home with other male piggies that can take him in and show his the ropes, so if you’re looking to add a friend to the furry family at home this is one of the rare times you can trust a vote for Boomer!
