Say hello to Squicks! This calm, gentle guy is all about the quiet moments-he loves being held and will happily settle in for a snuggle session with his favorite people. His former owner told us: "Squicks is calmer, likes being held and also would be a great pet by himself." Though guinea pigs typically enjoy living with a buddy, Squicks has had some territorial issues in the past, so he may prefer being the only piggy in the home where he can relax and enjoy life at his own pace. If you're looking for a mellow companion who's happiest with some one-on-one time, Squicks just might be your perfect match. If you have a potential piggy friend at home, feel free to bring them by for a meet-and-greet to see how they get along!
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
