Small Animals for Adoption

Animals at the Old City Adoption Center

Clover


The class clown of her litter, Clover is a joy to be around. This spirited little girl is always happy to see a friendly face, regardless of the species it may belong to. She’s quite brave with her humans; she’ll gladly approach your hand and let you give her little nose boops while she tries to sniff out what you’ll be feeding her later. She usually even allows you to pick her up without too much trouble — just don’t expect her to sit still for long. Energetic and adventurous (and just a bit mischievous), Clover is sure to hop and pop her way into your heart!

Clover came to PAWS with her sisters Brick (who has been adopted) and Macchiato, as well as her mom Winnie! They can each go home solo, or in a duo or trio! Brick and Clover have been known to roughhouse if they invade each others’ space too much, so it may not be advisable to pair the two off without additional cage mates. They can each go home solo, or in a duo or trio! We can talk in depth about their dynamics and what pairings work well!

Adopt Clover!

Macchiato


Little Mac is the youngest of her siblings by a solid margin of about five minutes. Nonetheless, she is still the runt of the litter, and is more timid than either of her sisters. By virtue of this, she’s also the gentlest, kindest piggie you’ll ever meet. She’s a peaceful lady who’s patient with her peers, and in turn her roommates all enjoy her company. She’s never nibbled too hard on a caretaker’s hand, and will always take food from you respectfully. Macchiato is generally on the quieter side, but makes sure to be heard well during feeding time, even seeming to catch popcorns from other piggies should they become excited. She can also be dramatically vocal when being held (a trait she doesn’t share with any of her family members), but a soft blankie or pillow will usually help her overcome her fears. Mac is a sweet baby who just needs a little bit of love and patience to come out of her shell and live her best life.

Macchiato came to PAWS with her sisters Brick (who has been adopted)  and Clover, as well as her mom Winnie! They can each go home solo, or in a duo or trio! We can talk in depth about their dynamics and what pairings work well!

Winnie


Winnie is a super mom and a super sweetheart! She is known for keeping a level head in stressful situations, and has lived harmoniously with all of her daughters as well as some other female piggie friends in various combinations. She’s not the biggest fan of being handled, but she is a very friendly pig. You will see her approach the bars of her cage when she is hungry, curious, or just wants to say hello! She is a lover of all greens (but would prefer not to eat turnips, and honestly I don’t blame her!)

Winnie’s sons Fireball and Bailey are PAWS alumnus, and she came to PAWS with her daughters Brick, Macchiato, and Clover! They can each go home solo, or in a duo or trio! We can talk in depth about their dynamics and what pairings work well!

Animals in Foster Care

Reign and Penny


Sweet and sassy sisters Penny and Reign are in search of their forever home. Older sister Penny (5 years) is the boss in this duo while Reign (1 year) is happy to let her lead. Penny is food motivated and is always first to greet you at the door in search of yummy snacks. She also enjoys a nice head scratch while eating. Reign is more reserved and needs to make sure the coast is clear before venturing out and enjoying her meal. Both piggies are a bit shy at first, but after some time to settle in, some routine and some patience while they build trust, they will be happily greeting you at their cage door.

Age:1 Year Old and 5 Years Old

Mochi


Mochi is a guinea pig that has a taste for the finer things in life. He enjoys spending his days exploring his Barbie dream house and snacking on delicious treats. He has a worldly pallet and is not afraid to try new things; from Thai basil, to little gem lettuce, organic carrots, fresh strawberries and bell peppers when he’s in the mood. When he’s not munching on a delicious treat be prepared for a snuggle. This guy will surprise with a squeak and jump to cozy up right under your neck and give little nudge kisses. He’s great with kids and will greet you in his cage to say “hello” or say “give me snacks please”. If you’re looking for a cuddly companion Mochi is your guy. Whether it’s a picnic or a Netflix and chill kind of night, Mochi will be right by your side.

Mr. Chubbs


A distinguished gentleman, Mr. Chubbs is ready to find a loving abode! He is a tolerant and loving piggie who comes to the front of his cage for neck and chin rubs. His favorite veggies are spinach and lettuce, and he occasionally enjoys some strawberries. Mr. Chubbs is a bachelor and has lived solo in the past, but got constant attention from lots of humans. Because of this, we are unsure how he might fit in with other male piggies, but could likely acclimate with separation and time. While he may not be too chubby, Mr. Chubbs is absolutley full of joy!
