Abundance of guinea pigs available to new homes in new year

After rescuing 51 guinea pigs from an RV home in Ocean Beach on Dec. 18, the San Diego Humane Society is asking the community to provide homes for 135 guinea pigs in their care.

These small, furry friends are adoptable as singles or in bonded pairs and have been spayed or neutered to prevent unintentional litters. Guinea pigs make incredible companions, and the organization hopes these deserving animals will find their way into warm hearts and homes this holiday season.

Walk-in adoptions are open Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., at San Diego Humane Society campuses in Escondido, El Cajon, Oceanside and San Diego. Visit sdhumane.org/adopt to view all available animals.
