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!

This dove is part of a large surrender that came to us in part due to overcrowding. They did not receive a lot of socialization so they can be shy and skittish around people, but if given enough time to adjust can be lovely companions. They are currently living in groups and do well with other doves.
Doves can be tamed but tend to be more “hands off” birds. They tend to vocalize throughout the day with a “coo”, dissimilar to the screeching or whistling of many other birds. Doves can be found around the world, and can live up to 10 years with proper nutrition and care. We recommend that doves live in pairs or groups whenever possible.
We recommend a cage that is at least 32”x23” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ?-¾” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of flat surfaces to perch on, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Unlike many other species of birds, doves are unable to climb up cage bars, and tend to move back and forth making a wider cage more appealing to them. Doves should be provided with regular opportunities for bathing, and unlike parrots require grit as part of their regular diet to aid in digestion.
The needs of each dove are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the dove you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Violet and Lavender are a bonded pair! This pair of young ladies can be sweet and playful once comfortable. They have a good history living around kids, and previously lived with a larger group of sugar gliders. Violet can be a bit more shy and skittish, but is friendly once comfortable.
Sugar Gliders are exotic animals that can be playful, smart, and active animals that, once socialized, can enjoy cuddling and often enjoy staying in the safety of a shirt pocket (or pouch kept on you). Sugar gliders tend to live 12-15 years and are nocturnal so expect them to be very active at night. They tend to live in groups of 6-10, and should always be housed in same-sex pairs or groups.
Sugar Gliders require specialized care, handling, and diet. Adopters ideally have prior experience caring for sugar gliders, similar exotics, or having done lots of research on their care ahead of time. Adopters should plan to work closely with an exotic vet to best understand your glider’s needs and an appropriate diet. We recommend a minimum cage size of 2’ x 3’ x 3’, with very bar spacing of ½” or smaller.

This rat is part of a large surrender from an overcrowded home. These rats can be sweet and playful once comfortable but many of them are undersocialized and can be very frightened/avoidant of people. These rats will do best with rat-experienced adopters that are comfortable with aiding them in becoming more social & confident. We have limited history of the group in their previous home, but know that they can be big chewers! As such they will need lots of appropriate chewing (and other) enrichment available to help them channel excise energy in an appropriate manner.
Rats are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! Due to the highly social nature of rats we prefer to match them with homes with existing rats, or to adopters looking to take home two or more rats. Rats can be food driven (and great foragers!) making them excellent animals to train. We always recommend the use of positive reinforcement training with your animals, and are happy to provide more information on this topic.
We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows the rat plenty of space to exercise. The minimum cage size should be 2’x2.5’x2’, with good ventilation (no glass enclosures) and must have a solid base. Preferably the shelter includes multiple levels, with appropriate use of linens or paper bedding and lots of rat appropriate toys. Rats should never be housed with other animals, each species should always have its own housing.
The needs of each rat are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rat you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Sex: Gelding Breed: Arabian x Saddlebred Color: Bay Height: 15.2 hh* *height is an approximation, he has not been measured yet
Adoption fee: $300* *Adoption fees are subject to change based on current specials and may increase with training.
This is Hal, a sweet and sensitive “National Show Horse” gelding. Hal arrived at Nevins with no known history of training and had not interacted with humans much in many years. He came in with a herd of other horses that actually still included his dam. It was evident he much preferred the company of other horses to humans and we have been slowly teaching Hal that good things come from humans too.
Our staff got to work with Hal pretty quickly to introduce the basics of haltering and leading to him. While the initial start of an interaction can cause a lot of anxiety for him, once he is in hand with his handler he opens up quickly and looks to his handler for direction often. In just a few sessions, our staff member was able to take him into the indoor arena and had him practicing figure 8s and checking out the trailer, all with willingness and dare we even say, a bit of confidence by the end!
Hal currently lives out 24/7 with access to a run-in shed. He is up to date on all vaccines and is sound and healthy. He can be nervous around vet and farrier handling and does currently need sedation to get all of his feet trimmed. He has been steadily improving and is looking for a kind and patient adopter to continue his “good citizen” training.
Hal is a project horse and needs an experienced adopter willing to take their time with him so he can finally have the chance he deserves to be the good citizen we know he can be. His perfect adopter would have experience starting green horses or have an experienced trainer who can take him into their program to put a solid foundation on. Hal has come so far already but will benefit most from a program with consistency – something that is difficult to achieve in the shelter environment! We know his person is out there and he just needs the right person who is willing to take a chance on this diamond in the rough.
