The San Diego Humane Society, which is still over capacity, is asking people to consider adopting a small pet or two, as there is almost no space left for the little creatures.
With 121 guinea pigs, 52 rabbits and 12 rodents — hamsters, mice, and rats — the organization encouraged the public on Thursday to consider adopting.
For most small pets, adopting in pairs is “highly recommended due to their social nature and need for companionship,” SDHS said.
“Small pets make wonderful companions — and right now, we have so many who need loving homes,” said Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and chief executive of the San Diego Humane Society. “If you’ve ever thought about adopting a rabbit or guinea pig, now is the time.”
According to SDHS, all adoptable rabbits have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated against rabbit hemorrhagic disease.
Adopters can also access care guides for each species — including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and rats — at sdhumane.org to make sure they’re ready to meet the unique needs of these particular animals.
San Diego Humane Society’s campuses in El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, and San Diego are open for adoptions Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
