You know what's better than one guinea pig? Two guinea pigs. And you know what's better than two guinea pigs? THREE GUINEA PIGS!

Luckily, we've got you. We have a ready-made trio of cuteness ready to grace your home! Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom are sweet, friendly, and curious. Though a bit shy, once they warm up, they're quite cuddly and loyal. And they want to stay together!

If you're interested in this adorable trio of piggies, give us a call at 415-506-6225.

Our Pet Safety Net program provides free pet food to hundreds of pet guardians struggling to make ends meet. Year after year, the need has remained heartbreakingly high, and we urgently need pet food donations to keep pets with the families who love them.

There are three easy ways to help:

• Buy an item (or two!) from our Chewy wish list or Amazon wish list and it’ll be delivered directly to us.
Chewy: https://bit.ly/3jepU5n
Amazon: https://amzn.to/454GGY0

• Buy an e-gift card from Amazon, Target, or Safeway and email it to [email protected]. We can then buy the needed food.

• Drop off pet food donations in the donation bin at our campus in Novato.
You can also drop off gift cards (we love Pet Food Express and Woodlands Pet Food). Our mailing address is:

Don't let Miss Honey's stoic face fool you. She's as sweet as her name! She just knows how to serve face for the camera. 💋

She's a chunky, solid gal at 2 years old and 80 pounds, but that's to be expected with her breed mix of American Bully and Cane Corso. Despite her size, she's cuddly and gentle and affectionate, and will gladly give you all the slobbery kisses you could ever want. She gets the cutest zoomies sometimes and her goofy gallop with make you smile!

Miss Honey loves making new friends, both human and canine. (We don't know her history with cats.) When she met other dogs here at the shelter, she offered tail wags and play bows right off the bat. Her family should help her remember her manners when she meets other dogs; sometimes she can be TOO enthusiastic!

Miss Honey is a staff and volunteer favorite, but what we'd like even more than a snuggle sesh is to see her in a forever home! If you'd like to meet this lovely girl, call us at 415-506-6225 or pay us a visit at our Novato shelter.
