Fiora is an adorable little girl, only about 3 months old. We’re not sure if her ears are going to lop or not. She’s definitely got some eating to do to grow into them!

Update 9/1/10: Barry is now being sponsored by Animal Friends Rescue Project. Please contact them for more information on this sweet boy.
Barry is a very cute young bunny boy! He was a little thin when he arrived at the shelter, but is spending plenty of time eating, so he should fill out nicely soon.
Barry will do very well with a family who will bunny-proof some rooms for him so he can run and do binkies. Like all bunnies, he needs lots of time with his humans, as well as fresh grass hay, water, green veggies, and pellets everyday. He will need to be neutered as a condition of adoption (included in the shelter adoption fee).
Contact Monterey County Animal Services or Friendly Farms to learn more about this adorable little boy. His shelter number is: A099431.

Update 8/25/10: All the guinea pigs have been adopted or have gone to rescues. Contact us here at Friendly Farms if you are interested in adopting a guinea pig, and we will help you to find the right match for your family.
Update 8/17/10: Several area rescues and shelters have joined together to take many of these piggies. A big THANK YOU goes to Northstar Rescue for coordinating with rescues and shelters and providing transportation. The Salinas shelter still has a couple of cuties available for adoption. Visit them Monday – Saturday, noon until 5 pm.
18 guinea pigs were left in a box in the Salinas Animal Services night drop kennels this past weekend. They all appear to be healthy, though a few have minor scratches from the fear and confusion of a night spent packed together in a box, listening to the frightened cats and dogs in the kennels around them. One of the girls gave birth that night, and, sadly, the babies were all trampled and did not survive.
The guinea pigs range in age from just-weaned babies to adults. Most of them are girls. As you can see from their pictures, they sport a variety of coat colors.
Guinea pigs are very social animals and do best in pairs or groups. They need a large, clean living space, fresh grass hay, vegetables, pellets, and water daily. They must have a source of vitamin C everyday to prevent scurvy. Frequent socializing is important (at least once a day), and vet care as soon as they show a change in appetite, runny stools, or lethargy. They need a vet who knows their special physiology. We recommend the Avian and Exotic Clinic of the Monterey Peninsula.
Here are some links to information about their care:
