Adopt PAISLEY a Black Guinea Pig / Mixed small animal in Westminster

Location:

Westminster, MD

Description:

PAISLEY IS IN FOSTER, PLEASE CALL SO SHE CAN BE HERE TO MEET YOU PRIOR A DAY PRIOR TO ARRIVAL!Smaller pets (rabbits, rats, mice, guinea pigs just to name a few) can be wonderful additions to your family. They are often adopted by people that think that they will be less work than a dog or cat, and while it`s true that you won`t have to spend dedicated time taking them for daily walks there are still some very important questions to ask yourself! These little cuties are often returned to shelters/rescues when their owners become overwhelmed with the care involved. So do your homework and know the answers to some of these questions to be best prepared:*What type of housing is required?*What type of bedding is safest for them?*How often does their habitat need to be cleaned and what cleaning products are safest to use for them?*What will they eat as their primary diet?*What treats are safe for them and how many can they have each day?*How much interaction do they need?*Do they need to be housed in pairs? (Most types of smaller pets need to be adopted with a friend--make sure you are adopting same sex companions or spayed/neutered pets to prevent any surprise litters.)*Will they be most active in the day or at night?*What type of veterinary care will they need? Is there a veterinarian in my area that can help you in an emergency situation?If you know the answers to these questions and have determined that a small critter might be a great fit for your home, see our adoption hours below.
