Reply to comment by heather1999xyz in Ace is a solo Guinea pig up for adoption! Within 2 hrs., a Redditor adopted the last pig I posted. Can we do it again? by heather1999xyz

Yes, happy to be interviewed. From what we know of their back story we would love to ensure that their former person knows they are safe, loved, and cared for.

We chose these two fuzzballs because we were looking for a female middle aged piggy. Sammi is ~4.5, so still has a few good years left. Mr. Rosie, her partner, passed away in March and she was pretty depressed. We saw how bad it was to have her solo and needed a friend for the rest of her life. Older female piggies are hard to find; people seem to surrender them much earlier under normal circumstances. So when we saw these two chonks come available we decided to move quickly.

Thank you for not surrender shaming! Surrendering happens for deeply personal reasons and isn’t a happy experience for either parties involved. Knowing your pet has been adopted and given a new home is amazing and encourages others to surrender vs. release to the wild.

You have a huge heart and I’ll hit you up for an interview for my website. It can be as anonymous as you want. Or it can plug socials. Whatever.
