Pierre I PREFER TO LIVE ALONE's Story

Pierre came to us after repeatedly biting his cagemate. He is neutered but still does not like other pigs. He prefers to live by himself.<br/><br/>He is making progress with people. He has bitten in the past, but he is settling down and will allow us to pet him now. He can be picked up but doesn't love it, however he does not try to bite when picked up. We are continuing to work on his comfort and confidence. He would do best with an owner who is willing to earn his trust and affection. He was an angel at the vet for his nail trim and did not fuss at all!<br/><br/>Adopters are okay to have children in the home but we do not recommend him for handling by younger children (animal savvy, respectful middle school+ children are okay) due to his history. He could be a great buddy for a patient teen or adult willing to work with him to gain his trust.<br/><br/>Our adoption fee for solo guinea pigs is $40.<br/><br/>We can meet for adoptions within 1 hour of Minneapolis or Faribault, MN. Potentially further- please inquire and we can discuss.<br/><br/>APPLY HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf-XKeCEMgJ9aEA0CR1Pv9NGcoNcMkY0dw2m3DehyChe4ToVA/viewform?usp=header

Tiny Whiskers Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
The first step is to fill out an adoption application. This includes questions about their proposed enclosure for the animal, food, enrichment, and whether they have an exotic vet or not. We review the response and contact them with any questions we have. Once all questions have been answered and approved, we move on to the second step. This involves submitting multiple photos of their enclosure, fully set up for their animal. We inspect the photos and address any concerns we see. Once we can ascertain that the enclosure meets our requirements, we give final approval for adoption. A meet up is arranged for the person to take home their new pet. At the meet up, we have a contact that must be signed by the person (or legal adult) agreeing to take proper care of the animal, not to breed it, and that they will contact us if the animal becomes sick within the first week, or if they are unable to care for the animal any longer.
