Have you ever seen a naked guinea pig?! These adorable and hairless babies are a bonded trio consisting of a mother, Phoebe, and her two daughters, Miss Piggy and Peppa Pig. While mom is fully haired, her two babes were born naked! Not to worry, though, as this is a trait they likely inherited from their father is completely normal for the breed!
Commonly referred to as Skinny Pigs, hairless guinea pigs act, play, eat, sleep, and behave just like any other pig would. The only difference is the care they need to keep their skin healthy and free of cuts. If you`re interested in adopting this amazing trio, we`re here to answer any and all questions you may have!
This week is National Animal Control Officer Appreciation week, and we can`t miss the opportunity to thank our ACOs for their hard work and dedication to the cause! Local animal control officers are the first line of defense in helping stray, unwanted, or lost animals find shelter and care. They also provide help and information to the public about animal related issues, investigate animal related crimes or complaints, and preform humane captures of animals on the loose. They work hard because they love what they do and want to help the people and pets in their community!
A big thank you to Hannah and Ashley (both featured) and all of our hardworking ACOs! 🐶🐱 #animalcontrolofficer #ACO #acoappreciationweek #awsmaine #animalwelfaresoceity #appreciationpost #animalcontrol #weloveouracos

It`s double the love here at AWS! We currently have three pairs of bonded cats who would like to find their happy homes together! Bonded animals are special because they look out for each other, snuggle together, play together and, for most, have been together their whole lives.
