My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi!
My name is Timberland. I was named by shelter workers after the Timberland shoe box that I was found outside of the shelter in.

It wasn't too fun being dropped off in that small box, in the middle of the cold night at that high desert shelter.

Luckily the people that work at the shelter are very nice and took me inside so I could get warm and eat some yummy food.
The shelter is kind of a scary place with a lot of big dogs barking so I was really happy when a nice guy named Scotty came and got me.
I am being fostered by him now, you might have seen some of his Youtube videos on his channel "Scotty's Animals".

Anyhow I would love to find a home with other piggy friends and someone who is kind and patient with me. I am good when being held but still get scared if you try to pet me.
I really love my orchard grass hay and yummy veggies. The nice rescue guy thinks I am around 1 1/2 years old, still young!
The rescue said that if someone has a nice male guinea pig that needs a friend, I can have a playdate with him. I sure would love a bff!

Contact the rescue if you would like to meet me!

Sincerly.
