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.

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.

What is their background story?:
Taffy and Caramel are two little girls born into the nursery to Sarah Conner.
Now that their mom has gone onto to kicking butt elsewhere, these little girls are ready for their next adventure.
As sweet as their names are they are always zooming over for their next picnic adventure. Hopefully that can be with you.
What is their favourite activity?:
They love zooming around the cage evading capture and playing with all their hanging toys.
What is their favourite food?:
Raspberries picked straight from the vine.
What is their best trait?:
Their ears pop when they wheek just like their mother's did.
Final thoughts:
Like lays chips at a summer picnic - you can never have just one.

Sex: Female
Age: Approximately 7 months
Location: Etobicoke
What is their background story?:
***Beatrice is currently pregnant. Roberta is on pregnancy watch. The two girls will be ready for adoption once Beatrice’s babies are weened.
Roberta and Beatrice were rescued along with two other guinea pigs (Lester and Farley). All four pigs experienced severe neglect and were very underweight.
These sweet girls are very shy, particularly Beatrice, and will require a quiet home and a gentle approach to build their trust. Roberta has already made a lot of progress. Beatrice remains very skiddish; however, her pregnancy maybe a factor.
What is their favourite activity?:
Both girls love fresh veg and greens. They have started to eat from their foster mom’s hand.
What is their favourite food?:
Cucumbers, banana, and watermelon.
What is their best trait?:
Their sweet personalities and bravery. These two have been through so much in their short lives. Despite this, they challenge themselves daily to build up the courage to trust. Roberta is a great support to Beatrice! She will often run to be with her if she senses that Beatrice is stressed.

Sex: Male
Age: Approximately 7 months
Location: Etobicoke
What is their background story?:
Lester (white and reddish brown) and Farley (white and orange) were rescued, along with two female guinea pigs (Roberta and Beatrice). They had been living in a home where they experienced severe neglect. All four were very underweight and likely would not have survived if not rescued. Lester in particular was extremely thin and had patches of hair missing, likely due to malnutrition. Despite their difficult start, all four pigs are thriving!
What is their favourite activity?:
Lester and Farley are party animals! These social butterflies love nothing more than to interact with each other and their humans. They will sing loudly and dance (wheek and popcorn) when you come in the room… especially if you have food! They have an open door policy and are always up for company. Although they are still getting used to touch, they will happily climb onto you when you sit or lay down with them.
What is their favourite food?:
Everything!!! But if they had to choose… probably banana. They are like teenage boys that just came home from school. When they hear you coming with their greens, they break out into the loudest wheeking their foster mom has ever heard! They just cannot contain their excitement.
What is their best trait?:
Their zest for life! These boys cannot be happier that they have a second chance at life and are not afraid to show it. It’s hard not to laugh and smile around these two. They are truly the life of the party!
