Piglet Family, Pig
Piglet Family is staying at Blind Spot Animals Sanctuary.
Piglet Family already has had all of their shots.
From Piglet Family's current caretaker:
There are four piglets: Two males and two females, and a sweet mama pig. Mama Sophie is a stunning young potbellied pig that likely got pregnant with her first heat cycle. At about 6-8 months old, she is a baby herself. The piglets seems to be potbelly/Kune Kune crosses. The entire family and two male potbellies came to us from an animal shelter. Once the piglets are about 13 weeks of age they will be spayed/neutered and ready for their forever homes.

Theo, Guinea Pig
Theo is a male Guinea Pig currently residing at Carolina Pet Rescue.
Theo loves being around people, and he would be the perfect addition to a home with children.
Theo's current caretakers say:
Theo is a sweet, sensitive little fellow who needs some patience and TLC to get him used to being handled. Won't you give him the loving home he deserves? Guinea pigs are very social and are happiest when housed in pairs or groups. They make good pets for families with children but require a significant amount of adult participation and supervision for appropriate care.
