Species and Minimum Ethical Enclosure Requirement: Guinea pig: minimum enclosure size for 2 Guinea Pigs is 7.55 square feet (length x width of your enclosure) and 10.50 square feet for 3 Guinea Pigs. A “C&C” cage or a Midwest GP Habitat are the recommended style of enclosure.
Sex: Male
Age: Adult, age unknown
Location: Toronto
What is their background story?:
These boys came from a shelter in Quebec. Nothing more is known about them.
What is their favourite activity?:
Eating is number one, closely followed by snoozing and being really adorable.
What is their favourite food?:
Veggies of any type - they get a salad every day with a different combination. Also parsley, cilantro, dill, and the odd blueberry or piece of apple.
What is their best trait?:
They are sweet, friendly boys. Gus (half white, half black) is very outgoing. Gilligan is more cautious, but he is becoming less shy. Both are quite content to be held, once they get over the horror of being picked up.
Special Adoption Fee: $50 for the pair.
Gilligan has been diagnosed with a respiratory condition that causes him to wheeze. This is not affecting his health at the moment, but he may be more susceptible to infections and should go to an experienced adopter who can monitor him for symptoms.
Final thoughts:
They are not vocal pigs, They don’t wheek for food but they mumble to each other occasionally.

Sex: female
Age: We have no idea how old Boo is; we think Bean is under 6 months
Location: Kitchener
What is their background story?:
Boo (grey face) and Bean (white/brown face) had a rough start to life and came to the rescue fearful of humans. Their foster family has been working hard to show them that humans can be kind, and these girls have been making great progress so far. Boo and Bean now get excited to see people and enjoy being part of a busy household, even if they are still not thrilled about being touched or held quite yet.
What is their favourite activity?:
These two are like yin and yang, and they compliment each other perfectly. Boo is an introvert, so she like to spend her time hanging out in snuggle sacks and hideouts. Bean, on the other hand, is an extrovert who likes to popcorn all around the enclosure and gets zoomies multiple times each day.
What is their favourite food?:
Boo and Bean LOVE to eat! Whether it's pellets, veggies/fruit, hay, or their daily vitamin C supplement, these girls are as enthusiastic as they come!
What is their best trait?:
Boo is generally pretty quiet, although she is starting to find her voice now that she is getting more comfortable with her foster family. Sometimes she crosses her front paws while she is lying down and it is cute overload. Bean always has something to say, and makes the cutest little noises when she is out and about on her daily adventures.
Final thoughts:
Boo and Bean have sweet, quirky personalities that are impossible not to love. They are looking for a patient and loving forever family who will take it slow with them so they can build up trust and let their true personalities shine. Please note that these two cuties are not yet available for adoption because we suspect Boo pregnant.

Arrived: April (Martha), June (Polly)
Species and Minimum Ethical Enclosure Requirement: Guinea pig: minimum enclosure size for 2 Guinea Pigs is 7.55 square feet (length x width of your enclosure) and 10.50 square feet for 3 Guinea Pigs. A “C&C” cage or a Midwest GP Habitat are the recommended style of enclosure.
Sex: Female
Age: Less than 6 months (Martha), about one month (Polly)
Location: Hamilton
What is their background story?:
WOW! This was so exciting! Martha came to us as part of a large rescue, and she came carrying precious cargo. She gave birth to two babies in June, one of whom was Polly (her brother Castor is also available for adoption). Martha was a very anxious girl at first, but has calmed down a bit. She and Polly snuggle a lot and are happiest close together. Polly has been used to humans from day one, and is very comfortable being petted, fed and held.
What is their favourite activity?:
Polly can barely move from one place to another without bouncing with excitement! She loves to zip around and explore. Martha is a bit more cautious, but if she can find a comfortable place she will spread out and chill.
What is their favourite food?:
So far, everything we've tried has been a hit - they are very adventurous eaters. Even from one day old, Polly was nibbling lettuce and cucumber peel. Martha has gotten used to taking snacks and treats from our hands, but Polly can't seem to stand still long enough.
What is their best trait?:
They are so full of energy and excitement. Everywhere Martha goes, Polly is right behind her like a little shadow.
Final thoughts:
This is a loving mother and daughter combination. Even though Polly has stopped nursing, she still snuggles up to Martha and they are happiest side by side.

Sex: Male
Age: One month
Location: Hamilton
What is their background story?:
These two brothers from different mothers are part of our ACR baby boom! Their moms and sisters are also available for adoption. Both of them were born into their foster homes (though two different homes), so they have been loved and doted on by ACR fosters their whole lives. When they were big enough to be separated from their mothers, we introduced these little boys, and they became friends immediately.
What is their favourite activity?:
These two boys run around like maniacs, popcorning and zooming - then climb into a hidey together to nap. It only takes one of them bouncing to set the other off, and then they're chasing around until they're all worn out. Chestnut is about a week older and often takes the lead, and Castor is right on his heels.
What is their favourite food?:
These boys have tried a long list of foods! They can be quite cautious at first, and didn't warm immediately to cherry tomatoes or bell peppers. But once they learned, they dive right in.
What is their best trait?:
These two are a rambunctious pair and can be very active. They seemed to take to each other immediately upon meeting and there has been no squabbling between them. They even share their food politely - though they can be quite loud when they hear the refrigerator door open.
Final thoughts:
These boys are ready to adopt!

What is their favourite activity?:
Batman enjoys lying down, sometimes even while eating.
What is their favourite food?:
Batman is a man of taste and enjoys whole foods in moderation: fresh veggies, and dried peas and dried carrots. He does not show interest in processed goodies (treats, compact hay squares, oxbow supplements, etc.)
What is their best trait?:
Batman is a cuddly guinea pig and will often wait at the cage's fence for you. He is always showing off his creative sleep positions.

What is their favourite food?:
Robin will enjoy almost any healthy treat you give him!
What is their best trait?:
Robin's curiosity and bravery is one that his foster mom has never seen in any piggy before. Not to mention, checkered pattern on his back is truly one of a kind.
