My story

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

How this pet arrived:
This pet was brought in by their previous owner on July 23, 2025.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Potato Wedges, the cutest little spud in town! 🥔💛 This adorable guinea pig is as sweet as his name suggests-he loves nibbling on veggies, chatting with his little squeaks, and snuggling into cozy bedding. Potato Wedges would love a spacious enclosure, plenty of hay to munch on, and maybe even a guinea pig friend to share his snacks with! Guinea pigs thrive on gentle handling, daily veggie time, and lots of love-so if you're looking for a small buddy with a big personality, Potato Wedges is your perfect side dish! 🐹✨ TIP: the way to a guinea pigs heart is through their stomach with treats (did someone say cilantro?!)! They can be big talkers and will express how they are feeling with different sounds - be sure to listen, to get an idea of what they are telling you!

More about this shelter

San Diego Humane Society, an open-admission shelter, is creating a more humane world by inspiring compassion and advancing the welfare of animals and people. Our lifesaving safety net has helped San Diego become the largest city in the U.S. to keep healthy and treatable shelter animals from being euthanized. We are a private, independent, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated with any other humane society or society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

With campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and San Diego, we provide animal services for 14 cities within San Diego County. We not only care for 50,000 animals in our communities but also share the expertise we have gained through our innovative programs with shelters nationwide so they can save more lives in their communities.

While our influence is expanding nationally, our top priority is meeting the needs of San Diego. We provide exceptional care for all animals through world-class veterinary medicine, shelter and most of all: love.
