Clover (with Macchiato and Brick!)


The class clown of her litter, Clover is a joy to be around. This spirited little girl is always happy to see a friendly face, regardless of the species it may belong to. She’s quite brave with her humans; she’ll gladly approach your hand and let you give her little nose boops while she tries to sniff out what you’ll be feeding her later. She usually even allows you to pick her up without too much trouble — just don’t expect her to sit still for long. Energetic and adventurous (and just a bit mischievous), Clover is sure to hop and pop her way into your heart!

Currently living with her two sisters, Brick and Macchiato. It’s recommended that the three be kept together, but they could be adopted in pairs or separately, depending on the living situation. Brick and Clover have been known to roughhouse if they invade each others’ space too much, so it may not be advisable to pair the two off without additional cage mates.

Macchiato (with Clover and Brick!)


Little Mac is the youngest of her siblings by a solid margin of about five minutes. Nonetheless, she is still the runt of the litter, and is more timid than either of her sisters. By virtue of this, she’s also the gentlest, kindest piggie you’ll ever meet. She’s a peaceful lady who’s patient with her peers, and in turn her roommates all enjoy her company. She’s never nibbled too hard on a caretaker’s hand, and will always take food from you respectfully. Macchiato is generally on the quieter side, but makes sure to be heard well during feeding time, even seeming to catch popcorns from other piggies should they become excited. She can also be dramatically vocal when being held (a trait she doesn’t share with any of her family members), but a soft blankie or pillow will usually help her overcome her fears. Mac is a sweet baby who just needs a little bit of love and patience to come out of her shell and live her best life.

Brick (with Macchiato and Clover!)


Brick was named for the strongest house of the Three Little Pigs (her siblings didn’t get the memo). She prefers to lead a simple life, trotting about wherever she pleases and always searching for the next tasty snack. The unrelenting pursuit of this goal will occasionally lead to a squabble with her pushier sister, Clover, but at the end of the day they’ll still be as cool as cucumbers. Brick is the calmest of the three when being held, and isn’t afraid to settle into your arms or lap if the right treats are involved. She’ll bring a laid back vibe to any piggie home, and a super fluffy coat to boot!

Reign and Penny


Sweet and sassy sisters Penny and Reign are in search of their forever home. Older sister Penny (5 years) is the boss in this duo while Reign (1 year) is happy to let her lead. Penny is food motivated and is always first to greet you at the door in search of yummy snacks. She also enjoys a nice head scratch while eating. Reign is more reserved and needs to make sure the coast is clear before venturing out and enjoying her meal. Both piggies are a bit shy at first, but after some time to settle in, some routine and some patience while they build trust, they will be happily greeting you at their cage door.

Penelope


Penelope is an adorable Guinea pig who loves romaine lettuce and lots of hay and ear scratches once she is used to you. As with all piggies she’s very skiddish but if you give her some time to warm up she will happily cuddle under a blanket in your lap and let you scratch her ears. Hand fed treats are also a favorite of hers. She is currently living with two other piggies and seems to love company but this also took time and if housing with other piggies slow intros will be best. She also seems like she would do well as an only pig if living in the main room of the house and getting lots of attention and having lots of toys and hiding spots. She’s very vocal when she wants something and makes the cutest sounds! Penelope will make a great addition to household who has the ability to love her like she deserves!

Mr. Chubbs


A distinguished gentleman, Mr. Chubbs is ready to find a loving abode! He is a tolerant and loving piggie who comes to the front of his cage for neck and chin rubs. His favorite veggies are spinach and lettuce, and he occasionally enjoys some strawberries. Mr. Chubbs is a bachelor and has lived solo in the past, but got constant attention from lots of humans. Because of this, we are unsure how he might fit in with other male piggies, but could likely acclimate with separation and time. While he may not be too chubby, Mr. Chubbs is absolutley full of joy!
