This little piggy may be called Jellybean, but he looks more like a peanut butter cup don’t you think? Jellybean is a 3-year-old male guinea pig who arrived at the shelter mid-August and would love an adopter who will provide him with love and TLC. He’s a bit shy right now, but with socialization and continual handling, he’ll make a fantastic addition to someone’s home. Although guinea pigs do require daily care and cleaning, if kept up, it’s relatively easy. They make wonderful pets for those willing to take the time to spend with them. Interested in learning more about guinea pig care? Contact the shelter staff, they’ll be happy to help!
