Piggy is approximately 1 1/2 years old and in good health. She came to the Marblehead Animal Shelter when the family brought home a cat that kept going after her and the other smaller animals in the house. Rather than giving up the cat, they gave up Piggy.

Piggy is “sooo cute,” according to volunteers at the Marblehead Animal Shelter. They say her fur looks like she is having a bad hair day with all her cowlicks or that a friend has just given her an amateur haircut. “Nevertheless, she is adorable with her bright, shiny eyes,” they say.

Piggy is happy and loves eating, according to shelter volunteers. They believe she would thrive in a home where she would get constant attention by someone who is familiar with guinea pigs. Volunteers note that she does get nervous, so an experienced owner would be best suited for her.

“She is lovely and would love a home where she can flourish and get fresh produce and hay,” volunteers say.

Piggy is up to date with routine shots and house trained.
