This week we feature some non-traditional pets that might appeal to those who are looking for a furry friend but who don’t have the space or time to devote to a dog or a cat. Folks at the shelter can help you decide if these pets are a good fit and show you in on the kind of care they need.

Ricky is a sweet, all white male Guinea Pig.  He has beautiful big eyes and he is very friendly and outgoing.  He often stands on his cage bars and talk quietly to you, hoping you’ll let him come out and play. Guinea Pigs make great pets; do a little research then stop by the shelter to see if a Guinea Pig is right for you.

Geronimo is a very curious and interactive gerbil, who loves to explore, play, and rearrange things in his cage.  He likes to watch what you are doing too.  He runs on his wheel, and plays with paper and cardboard.  He is great fun to watch and is looking for a home with someone who will enjoy his company.
