Meridia's Story

Meridia and Azura were adopted and returned over a year later due to conflicts with the new cat. They are some adorable, sweet and friendly gals. Meridia unfortunately has symptoms of ovarian cysts, we have elected not to give her surgery because it is a very risky surgery. She is currently living life in comfort but will likely not live as long as a normal pig with this condition. The vet says there are some non-surgical options to explore if she starts to have worsening symptoms, like hormonal injections.https://www.lostwoodsas.com/adoption-application

Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
Adopters first fill out an application on our website, which asks about the adopter's household, how they plan on housing their new pet and what they plan on feeding. Because exotics have very species-specific housing and dietary needs, we have a director reach out to each adopter to discuss proper housing, diet and husbandry, as well as lifespan and handling. Adopters can choose to schedule a meet-and-greet with the animal or adopt without a meet. We need to receive a picture of the enclosure when it is ready, and when the enclosure and the adopter are ready, we schedule the adoption. Our adoption fees are set to be comparable to the animal's price at a pet store. Adopters sign a contract certifying that if they can no longer care for the animal, they must return them to Lost Woods. When adopting bonded pairs/groups, each bondmate is half fee. Fees: Rabbit, chinchilla, or tortoise $100 Bearded dragon or degu $50 Guinea pig $40 pair $30 single Leopard gecko $30 Rat, hamster, or gerbil $20 Mouse $15
