My name is JOE!

Joe
6 months old
Intact male guinea pig

Joe is a young boar who still has a lot to learn about the world. Humans are still a little scary for him so he is looking for a patient adopter who will let him settle in at his own pace and not put pressure on him to interact right away. Up until recently, Joe was being hosued with his brother Darren, until they started bickering. This isn`t uncommon in the shelter setting, but they will still need a patient adopter with a good bonding plan and a spacious enclosure in order for them to be able to cohabitate safely again. If Joe does not go home with Darren, he should go home to another male. W

If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed.

*Before coming to the adoption center, we ask that you have a housing unit ready, in case you end up finding an animal you’d like to adopt. Guinea pigs need a minimum 6.5 sqft wire cage (30”x36”) for 1-2 guinea pigs but preferably 10.5 sqft (30”x50”) for 2 guinea pigs and a minimum 8 sqft for 3 guinea pigs but preferably 13 sqft (30”x62”). Cages must have a solid bottom and more room is always encouraged!
