Jimmy and Jamaal are two super sweet guinea pigs ready to head off to their next home.
Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion! Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex. A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30″ x 50″ with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged! Guinea pigs can be quite noisy which can be lovely as long as you are expecting it!

MJ is a social girl who enjoys long walks and a great squeaker toy. This pretty lady is affiliative with her people and is perfecting her loose leash walking skills. She loves learning new things, especially when that means treats! MJ loves to explore her surroundings and zoom around the yard. After play time, this good girl loves to lay close by and relax. She can be a bit wary of new dogs, but could potentially live with a well-matched canine friend pending a slow introduction. We think she’d do best in a home with older, respectful kids that understand her personal space.
If you think she’s just right for you (and why wouldn`t you), please stop by the shelter and chat with staff about this beauty!
Budgerigars, the most common parakeet we see, are native to Australia where they live in massive flocks in the grasslands. Parakeets tend to be docile, gentle, can be easy to tame and can even talk! Despite their small size, these birds can have large vocabularies and can make a wonderful training companion. We recommend that parakeets live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Parakeets can live up to 7-15 years with proper nutrition and care, and can be a loyal companion.
We recommend a cage that is at least 27”x24” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ½” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Nests can be provided but should be removed if any females begin to lay eggs. We do not recommend a seed only diet as it can lead to malnutrition and other potential issues, please consult your vet for specific diet recommendations.
The needs of each parakeet are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the parakeet you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Dad Kat. He is a 4 year old, and has a progressive case of FeLV – or Feline Leukemia Virus – which will shorten his lifespan, and we are hoping to find him a loving indoor-only home where he can live out his life. Despite his diagnosis, he can be social and affectionate with those he knows, once he is comfortable in his new space. Dad Kat would need to be the only cat in the household, or have feline friends that also have FeLV. Interested adopters should click the inquire button below to learn more and shelter staff will provide additional counseling on FeLV and answer any questions at the time of adoption.
More info on FeLV can be found here: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951934

More about Buddy:
I am pretty shy, shutdown, sensitive guy looking for a quiet, low-traffic home without much transition or expectations for me to be outgoing and snuggly to start. My history shows I loved the people within my social bubble ad enjoyed being carried like a baby: but I am not showing this part of my personality here at the shelter and my adopter needs to understand that it will take time for me to show this side of me in the future.
I am easily stressed ad overwhelmed during transitions, and I am looking for an adopter who is willing to give me as much time as I need to settle in. This could be a few days, or a couple of weeks. My success will be dependent upon how well my adopter is able to read and understand my body language.
It is recommended that I be given my own space (an extra bedroom or bathroom) that is not used by people or other pets except for feeding me and cleaning. I should initially be left alone while I adjust to my new surroundings. My space should offer plenty of hiding places, ideally with access to vertical surfaces as well as a cat tree or cat-proofed shelf, and easy access to a litter box, food and water. Only when I am confidently moving about my environment and remain confident with relaxed body language when my adopter is with me should I be given more access to the home. I may be conflicted about close handling/petting, especially as I settle in. I should be thought of as a `pet myself on you` kind of cat until I become comfortable with my adopter, and I should always be allowed to initiate interactions, using consent tests.
I have a history of being an indoor/outdoor guy, the majority of time inside, but I enjoyed spending time outdoors and would benefit having a safe outdoor option in the event I want to go out in my new home.
It is possible that I may only ever be comfortable with the people in my social bubble and may be overwhelmed when meeting new people. I required sedation for vet care here at the shelter, and it is recommended that my adopters have a relationship with a fear-free veterinarian.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30 pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Compatibility:
Cats: No thanks! History of rough playing that would tip over into fighting with the other cat in previous home.
Dogs: Possibly – Has history living with them and has been able to exist in close space with a dog here at the shelter. Mellow, cat-savvy.
Kids: Cat-savvy with good shy-cat skills
Introducing Feliz, the small dog with a big personality! While he may not be your typical lap dog, Feliz is more than ready to bring boundless joy and companionship into your life. With a sweet demeanor and a streak of independence, Feliz is the perfect blend of affection and individuality. He may prefer exploring the world on his own terms, but don’t let that fool you – he’s always up for some quality playtime and cuddles on his own terms. Feliz is the type of pup who marches to the beat of his own drum, making every day with him an adventure filled with surprises and laughter. If you’re seeking a furry friend who’s as unique as they come, look no further than Feliz.
We have several adorable Welsh Harlequin female ducks available for adoption! Ducks are very social animals, so we’d love to send these birds home in pairs at least (and even better if you already have a flock for them to join)! They have beautiful coloring on their feathers and love to splash in their pool!

Meet Pumba! This lovable pig lives up to his namesake as the friendliest warthog around, though do not worry we promise he is still a potbelly pig and not an actual warthog! Pumba loves to show you his sit to get a treat and will follow you around until you indulge him in some forehead scratches and belly rubs.
Pumba is currently a bit underweight and has some tough dry skin that we are working to get under control. Hes been hard at work gaining some weight and muscle again and staff would be happy to chat with you about his medical needs going forward but adopters should plan to have a good relationship with their (pig) veterinarian!
Like all pigs, Pumba will need room to roam, graze, root, and wallow. A proper pig proof enclosure and fencing is a must with access to an indoor space for shelter as needed. Pumba may be able to live with other pigs and farm animals but slow introductions are always recommended.
Interested in learning more about Pumba? Fill out an adoption inquiry but clicking the Inquire button and a staff member will reach out to discuss!

More about Sophie:
I am an easy-going, mellow lady who is interactive and social on my terms. Prior to getting to my current weight I used to be more playful. I enjoyed dangly wand toys, and it is important for my adopters to introduce play back into my daily routine.
I should have a very slow introduction to my new home. I should start in one quiet room with managed hiding spaces, and gradually be given more access to the house as I settle in. My adopter should be prepared to leave me be at the beginning, and let me solicit interactions as I become comfortable.
A fear-free vet is recommended! I am sensitive for close handling. My adopters should be cat-savvy and comfortable reading cat-body language. Consent tests should be used.
My medical records are available for potential adopters to look at. I am clearly a chunky girl (I think I am just big-boned!), and my adopter should discuss working with a vet to help me shed some pounds!
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Compatibility:
Cats: Possibly – no history. Use a slow introduction
Dogs: Possibly – no history. Cat-savvy, mellow, knows to give her space.
Kids: Older, quiet, cat-savvy
