Albert is a friendly younger male guinea pig. He was reported to have fought with another GP before,and as such may prefer to live alone, but potentially can do okay with a well matched friend.
Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion! Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex. A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30″ x 50″ with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged! Guinea pigs can be quite noisy which can be lovely as long as you are expecting it!

Ed, Eddie, and Big Ed are a bonded trio of young degus. This cute trio are social, friendly, and once comfortable can allow for handling. They are big chewers, and were escape artists in their previous home. The trio loves to cuddle together, and enjoy receiving snacks & enrichment.
Degus are social animals native to Chile that can be tamed with regular handling. Similar to most rodents, degus love to chew everything! As such they should be provided with lots of chewing enrichment. Degus live in colonies in nature, and should always be housed in same-sex pairs or groups.
We recommend a large solid floored, multi-level cage similar to those made for ferrets or chinchillas. Paper bedding or other appropriate nesting material (wood shaving are NOT appropriate) should be provided to allow the degus to dig, stockpile food and nest. The cage must include a solid (no rungs) exercise wheel and tubes (or PVC pipes) to allow the degus to meet their natural needs. Degus like chinchillas bathe using a dust bath and should be provided a shallow bowl of dust several times a week. Cages should always be well ventilated but kept away from direct sunlight, and drafts. Timothy hay is an important piece of a degu’s diet and must always be available.
The needs of each degu are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the degu you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

We have several chickens available for adoption! Chickens are very social animals, so we’d love to send these birds home in pairs at least (and even better if you already have a flock for them to join)! We have quite an array of breeds, sizes, and personalities so if you’ve been considering adding chickens to your life, look no further! While we have many hens available, don’t forget about their flock protecting rooster buddies – first preference will be given to those who can add a rooster to their flock in addition to more hens.

Budgerigars, the most common parakeet we see, are native to Australia where they live in massive flocks in the grasslands. Parakeets tend to be docile, gentle, can be easy to tame and can even talk! Despite their small size, these birds can have large vocabularies and can make a wonderful training companion. We recommend that parakeets live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Parakeets can live up to 7-15 years with proper nutrition and care, and can be a loyal companion.
We recommend a cage that is at least 27”x24” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ½” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Nests can be provided but should be removed if any females begin to lay eggs. We do not recommend a seed only diet as it can lead to malnutrition and other potential issues, please consult your vet for specific diet recommendations.
The needs of each parakeet are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the parakeet you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Treble is a sweet baby guinea pig who is still getting used to the world. She can be shy and skittish at first, but once comfortable can be social and sweet. She will need to live with a social female guinea pig who can serve as both a great role model and a companion.

Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex.

Maple arrived to us with her companion, Hamilton. They were both living as indoor pigs and shared spaces with kids and dogs. Maple adjusted quite well to our Pig Barn and has been spending lots of time outside. She is a very sweet girl who enjoys human interaction. Maple does know how to wear a pig harness, though she does like to choose her own direction.
Maple would love to find a home with her buddy Hamilton, where they can take their time settling in and not rushing into new situations. If you think Maple would be a good fit for your family, submit an adoption inquiry!

Orion & Joey are a bonded pair of young males! These handsome fellas came to us with limited information so we aren’t sure what they are like in a home, but like most guines pigs they can be a bit shy at first then once comfortable are social and enjoy exploring. They came in with Jasper & Cinnamon as well, and enjoy talking to their friends between the cages.

Sex: Mare Color: Fleabitten gray Breed: Arabian Height: 14.0 hh
Adoption fee: $500* *Adoption fees are subject to change based on current specials and may increase with training.
If you’re a fan of the Arabian breed, you will love our two gray girls – Shania and Sky! Shania is a very affectionate and easy going mare. She loves to be groomed and doted on!
Shania has lived with her sister Sky for her whole life, so the two of them are quite bonded. They are able to stall separately as long as they are close to one another, and over time we think they would benefit from some periods of separation just for their own well-being. We are open to placing these two mares together or separately depending on the situation and the progress we are able to make in creating some distance between them while they are at Nevins.
So far Shania has been the boss of every herd she’s joined. Integrating her into an existing/established herd would require some careful management and introductions, but she could just be the leader your herd has been searching for!
Shania has been out of ridden work for about 10 years now, but we have not discovered any physical limitations that would prevent her from coming back into work. Shania walks, trots, and canters beautifully on the lunge line and offers some nice lateral movement and hind/fore quarter yields from the ground. At her age, her days of serious riding and work are likely behind her but she may be up for the occasional mosey or even some pony rides potentially.
She is a very easy keeper and maintains her weight nicely with a minimal amount of balancer grain and first-cut hay. She is patient for vet and farrier care, and has done well living out 24/7 as well as stalling overnight since she has been with us. Shania would make a really fun project for an experienced adopter or would be just as happy to retire early and be a beloved pet.
Interested in meeting Shania? Please fill out an adoption inquiry!
Sadie is an adorable young guinea pig, who can be shy at first but once she has had time to warm up can be friendly and social. She came to us a transfer so we don’t have much history on her, but we expect that she will do best in a home with another female guinea pig that can serve as a companion.
