My story

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

ADOPTION FEE: $20

Meet Harold, a charming guinea pig with a heart as big as his personality. This distinguished little man is nearing his senior years and is ready for a new beginning after being returned through no fault of his own.

Harold has lived with other pigs before but prefers his space and may do best as a solo pig or with another male housed nearby for companionship without conflict. His adorable, slightly tattered ear tells the story of his strong willed nature, but underneath that tough exterior is the sweetest cuddle bug.

Harold absolutely loves being brushed and will need regular grooming, haircuts, and nail trims to keep his coat looking its best. He's currently on daily vitamin C tablets and joint supplements to help him stay healthy and happy. Harold is a wonderful mix of stubborn and snuggly and he's hoping to find someone who appreciates him just the way he is.

Guinea pigs might be cute, but they're also professional eaters and, well, professional poopers too... over 100 times a day! So Harold is looking for someone ready for the full guinea pig experience, with all the hay, veggies, and little poops that come with it.

Our Charter:



The BC SPCA Charter is the foundation that guides the work we do:

Whereas:

The world is inhabited by many species sharing a common ecosystem of air, earth, and water. We recognize and value our interconnectedness with all animals.

Therefore:

The BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for the animals of the world we share.



We pledge our energies to inspire and mobilize society to create a world in which all animals, who depend on humans for their well-being, experience, as a minimum, five essential freedoms:



1. Freedom from hunger and thirst

2. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease

3. Freedom from distress

4. Freedom from discomfort

5. Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.
