Churro

Meet Churro the brown and white male guinea pig who is estimated to be about 6 months old!<br/> He was rescued from a local petstore who was giving him away for free due to being "aggressive" towards other guinea pigs. We couldn't let him be taken by someone to be used as food so a volunteer reached out and brought him to us.<br/>It's hard to say if he's actually aggressive towards other guinea pigs since petstores like to throw a bunch of random guinea pigs in a small glass cage and then hope for the best. He's still young so he definitely has the potential to be fine with another male guinea pig with proper introductions. <br/>He is also very timid and scared. I'm not sure what he's been through but he's very traumatized. It's hard to imagine him being aggressive with how timid he is. He is definitely going to take some extra time and attention to open up and be comfortable.<br/>He preferably needs someone special with small pet experience who can help him work past his trauma.<br/>I know there's a happy, social little piggy behind those scared little eyes, let's find him someone who can help him!<br/>~<br/>If you are interested in adopting a pet from us, fill out our small pet questionnaire located on our website!<br/>Happyhorizonhamsterhaven.org
