As the saying goes, “good things come in pairs,” and we have a lot of bonded pairs here at AWS! What’s a bonded pair? It’s two pets that came in together (from the same home) and enjoy being together. Thus, we adopt them out together so they can continue their relationship and bring each other joy and comfort.
OJ & Blossom are one of these bonded pairs that are looking to find their new home together! These sweet guinea pigs love to be around each other and share a leaf of lettuce. They are certainly happier together!

Hello everyone! My name is Nala and I’m here with my friend Leo. We are friends and would like to find a home together! We were so happy when the AWS staff chose us to be the Pets of the Week this week to talk about why we’ll be double the fun if you bring us home!

A very sweet Happy Homes! 🐾
"Charlie is doing great in his new home! After having to say goodbye to our last dog in September `23, we met Charlie in February and fell instantly in love. He’s a big, smart, playful, high-energy pupper! It took a few months for him to really get comfortable with us, but now he’s happy and settled in. He loves playing fetch in the yard, keeping watch for squirrels and pedestrians, and snoozing with his people. We’re so happy that this sweet, beautiful boy is part of our lives!"
