Humane Society takes in 250 guinea pigs from overwhelmed owner, seeks loving forever homes
The pet patrol has come to the rescue.
An Oregon homeowner saddled with a whopping 250 guinea pigs was bailed out by the Oregon Human Society in Portland, which is trying to find forever homes for the adorable creatures.
It’s unclear how the unidentified individual ended up with so many of the critters, reported Oregon Public Broadcasting; although, animal experts note that it can be challenging to determine a guinea pig’s gender and they potentially bred unchecked.
“Despite the challenges of the [COVID-19] pandemic, the need to help pets and people continues,” explained Sharon Harmon, the president of the Oregon Humane Society. “This situation is a great example of animal-welfare agencies working together to serve our community.”
