Finley, Guinea Pig For Adoption In Fort Collins, Colorado

Location:

Fort Collins, CO

Description:

Meet Finley! He is a one year old white satin Abyssinian piggy. He is very spunky and enjoys tomatoes and broccoli. Finley lives with his buddy Guinness and they are available for adoption as a pair. Because Finley is a satin guinea pig, he has a glossy, reflective, and silky coat. Some Satins are carriers of Osteodystrophy (OD). This means calcium absorption of the body into the bones is not sufficient, leading to decalcification (honeycombing) of the bones. Satins that have OD do so to varying degrees. Not all Satins die because of OD and not all are affected by it. Osteodystrophy is not curable. Finley has not shone any symptoms of OD yet but Adopters should be prepared for X-rays in the future to catch the onset of potential disease later in life; X-rays can show the presence and stage of this disease before physical symptoms are present. Every piggy at Cavies and Canines Animal Rescue are quarantined before adoption and undergo a health and behavior evaluation before they are available. All females are put on a 10 week pregnancy watch. CAC will also provide free nail trims and health checks for all adopters. If you would like to visit a piggy, we do provide meet and greet sessions to get to know them better. If you are looking to find a buddy for your existing piggy, we can help organize bonding sessions to make sure it's a good match. Contact us for more information and an adoption application!Adoption processOur adoptions are based on an application process, which includes a vet reference and sometimes a home visit. Our dogs (and cats, when we have them available for adoption) have completed their age-appropriate shots, are dewormed, spayed/neutered and heartworm tested/treated before adoption. Our guinea pigs are available for adoption ONLY as same-sex pairs or as a friend for an existing guinea pig(s). Females are placed on 10-week pregnancy watch before adoption, and all undergo a health/behavior evaluation and are treated for parasites, if needed. Guinea pigs will only go to homes with appropriately sized housing, which we offer for sale at discounted rates. We require surrender and adoption contracts for the safety of our animals, foster families and future adopters. Animals that are adopted from us must be returned to us and not rehomed or taken to a shelter if circumstances change.Shelter locationWe are a foster home based rescue. We encourage appointments Friday-Monday for families to come meet our available pets. Those with single guinea pigs looking for a friend are encouraged to bring them over for a "piggin play date" to ensure it is a good match.
