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.
