Meet Squishy! This little guy is full of pep and plenty of personality! Squishy loves being held and enjoys bonding time with his favorite humans-he's as lovable as he is lively. His previous owner shared: "Squishy likes being held and is lovable. He's high energy. He'll be a great pet by himself." Like many guinea pigs, Squishy has shown some territorial tendencies, especially when it comes to sharing his space with other piggies. Because of this, he'd do best as a solo pig where he can soak up all the attention (and snacks!) for himself. While guinea pigs are naturally social animals, some prefer to be the star of the show-if you do have a piggy pal at home, we recommend a slow introduction or meet-and-greet to see if it's a match.
If you'd like to meet our available animals, please check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalshelter/adopt
