* Mango found her forever home with a wonderful person and another guinea pig to be friends with! Yay! *

Someone dumped Mango in a park in Hamilton. Thankfully, a kind citizen found her and brought her to Hamilton Animal Services. Please, please, please, if you don’t want a pet anymore, don’t release it outdoors. Mango was one of the lucky ones who survived being abandoned, but not all animals are so lucky. Domestic animals don’t have the survival skills that wild animals do. They often starve to death, or are killed by predators. There is always an alternative to dumping, and there are many resources available. Dumping a pet is never the answer. Please stop doing this.

Anyway…we were happy to get this adorable piggy out of the shelter and into a foster home when one stepped up. She had a vet visit, and though she’s a bit portly, Mango received a clean bill of health and is ready to find her forever home.
We’ll have a report from her foster home soon.

Wondering if guinea pigs are the right pet for you?

Guinea pigs need much more room than the typical pet store guinea pig cages offer. Here are some examples of appropriate cages pigs can live happily in, so that they have lots of room to move around and explore:
