PHOENIX
March is ADOPT A GUINEA PIG Month!
We have several guinea pigs available. Phoenix is a one-year old female who was sadly left behind with a hamster after her owners were evacuated from their home due to a fire. The hamster found a home, but Phoenix is still looking for one. This sweet girl is friendly and likes to be held. She’s been here since before Christmas, so we hope someone adopts her soon!
