Porky and Bugs's Story

Hi, our names are Bugs and Porky! Here is what would work best for us in our new home:<br/><br/>-Personality: Active, vocal, shy but learning to trust!<br/>-Can Live With Kids: Yes, but an adult must be the primary caregiver<br/>-Can Live With Other Guinea Pigs: Yes, Bugs and Porky will need to be adopted as a pair. Introductions with any resident guinea pigs (males, only!) will need to be slow and structured to ensure everyone gets along. <br/>-Litter Box Trained: No<br/>-Bite History: No<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: No<br/>-Additional Information:<br/>Bugs and Porky are a bonded pair of guinea pigs looking for their forever home! They were found outside in a plastic bin with 5 other guinea pigs, so their history is a bit unknown. It's likely they were allowed to breed, and then dumped by their owner when they couldn't take care of them all. Bugs and Porky are a bit on the shy side, but they're coming around. They will need a nice roomy enclosure with plenty of hidey spots. They will also need daily exercise and socialization (i.e., some fun time outside of their cage). Their diet should consist of high quality guinea pig pellets, unlimited grass hay, and fresh greens daily. They can also have the occasional treat (i.e., small pieces of guinea pig safe veggies and fruits).<br/><br/>Proof of appropriate enclosure is required for adoption.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
