My story

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


Introducing Creme, the adventurous and playful guinea pig ready to add some excitement to your life! With her spirited personality and boundless energy, Creme is always up for a new adventure and loves exploring her surroundings. Whether she's darting around her enclosure or eagerly investigating new toys, she's sure to keep you entertained with her playful antics. But Creme isn't complete without her beloved sister, Custard, by her side. These two are a dynamic duo, bringing out the best in each other and sharing a special bond that's truly heartwarming.

Our friend Creme is a hospice placement due to a tumor in her underbelly. She is still living a happy, active, normal life right now, so her adopter would continue to monitor her quality of life for her golden years alongside her sister Custard. Please reach out to staff if you have any questions, we are more than happy to talk to you about it. If you're looking to double the fun and love in your home, Creme and Custard are the perfect pair for you. Come meet them today and embark on a journey filled with laughter, joy, and endless cuddles!

Guinea Pigs have a vegan diet that consists mainly of high quality Timothy Hay, supplemented with 1/8 cup of hay-based pellets per day. Guinea Pigs also need 1 cup of fresh veggies every day, including things like romaine, green & red leaf lettuce, escarole, parsley, dill, and bell peppers. They also need additional Vitamin C supplements because they do not create their own-just like us!

Guinea Pigs are social animals and should be kept with or near at least one other guinea pig of the same sex. They should be kept in a solid base cage, with a minimum size of 7.5 square feet-approximately 2ft x 4ft, with room for food, water, enrichment, and places to hide.

Our shelter is open every day except Monday from 12-4. If you are interested in this pet, please call us at 978-452-7781, email info@lowellhumanesociety.org, or stop by the shelter to request an adoption application.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

You must be 18 years or older to adopt an animal. A valid ID is required.

If you own your own home, please provide proof of home-ownership; a mortgage receipt, tax bill, water bill or deed will suffice.

If you rent, please bring your lease which states the type of pet you are interested in and that it is accepted or the name and phone of your landlord so we can verify the pet is allowed. Inquire with your landlord about any size or breed restrictions.

Please check with your home owner’s insurance company or landlord to find out if they have any restrictions on the breed(s) of dog they cover. Common breeds that may not be covered include: Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers and German Shepherds.

For the health and safety of the pet you are interested in adopting and your existing pets, we ask that you provide proof of current vaccinations and spay/neuter status for pets in your home. (We may be able to call your veterinarian if you do not have a copy available.)

A new pet is a family decision and we ask that all members of your family meet the pet and agree on the suitability for your household.

If you already have a dog(s) in your home please bring the dog(s) with you to meet the dog you are considering to see if they are compatible.

Complete an adoption application and talk with a staff member for more information about the animal you are considering.
