Come meet CINNAMON! This
loveable little one arrived at
the shelter with several other
Guinea pigs. Cinnamon and
her friends are awaiting loving
and caring homes. Guinea pigs
do require a lot of attention
and care, so if you have yet to
own one, it’s suggested that
you do a little research before
considering adoption. And if
you think that Cinnamon, Lilly,
Minnie or S’mores could be just
the companion(s) you’ve been
seeking, come on into the shelter
and meet them today!
