Looking for a forever home: Vernon SPCA pets of the week

Three squeaky guinea pigs could be yours.

The dynamic tio Ozzy, Skidder, and Fred, are in need of a loving home.

"Meet Fred, this sweet and silly boy was surrendered with his friends Skidder and Ozzy. The three of them are looking for a home together as they are all very bonded. Fred is the most friendly of the group. He enjoys being pet and will even seek you out for attention. Like his buddies, he absolutely loves treats and makes the cutest squeaking noises when he knows you are getting them. These cuties are looking for a home with owners who have the space to give them a large enclosure with lots space to run and explore. If you have room in your home and heart for this terrific trio then inquire with staff for further details," according to the BC SPCA Vernon & District Branch.

In order to protect the health of SPCA staff, volunteers and members of the public during the COVID-19 pandemic, the SPCA has made changes to its adoption process.
