It's a guinea piggie palooza at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria! The AWLA currently has 9 guinea pigs looking for new homes.They range in age from 4 months old to 1 year. Some of the more shy guinea pigs are in a foster where they're learning to be a bit more social. Our shy friends (Melrose, Hollywood and Sunset) would probably do best with other piggie friends. They all love to eat their veggies, like romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and carrots, and hide in their hay. You can find all of their adoption profiles here.
