Meet Larry one of the new Guinea Pigs at the shelter! He is about 1 years old and a very sweet boy! Here is a blurb from our daily care notes that will describe how it will be to have Larry as a pet
“Larry is one of the sweetest male guinea pigs I have ever handled. He squeaks as soon as I see him and say ‘Hi’ to him without bringing any food. He loves to be held – he does not try to squirm and once the petting begins, he closes his eyes and almost falls asleep. When I clean his cage he gets so excited to have new stuff and fresh hay he jumps all around/ popcorns with excitement.”
Larry should do well as a first time pig owner, but like all our pets have want the whole family to come down and meet them so all can see how the interactions go. If you are looking to adopt a pet visit cthumane.org to see all available animals! New animals are added weekly so make sure you check out the site often!
