Wee Companions Small Animal Adoption

Sanctuary meet up!
Meet young Florian! Wee pulled him from a local shelter as a young baby and we quickly realized he was a Satin guinea pig. Sadly he could potentially present with symptoms of Satin Syndrome as he grows into adulthood.
We have made the decision he will stay in our rescue and has just got neutered in preparation for living within a sanctuary herd of guinea pig ladies.
He will be monitored carefully for concerning signs, Satin syndrom often presents with difficulty eating as it can affect the jaw bones. Suffice to say he will receive the best we can offer him for as long as we have him.
His good looks and gentle sweet nature does not make it hard to love this little guy. His foster mom is smitten but prepared for the journey ahead.
Did we mention what strong foster parents Wee has on hand? Loving unconditionally and knowing your time together may be cut short is not for the faint of heart.
Please send well wishes to Florian as he recovers from his surgery this weekend

These two girls were just returned and due to lack of space at the Wee shelter are being placed in one of our foster homes.
Snowy White, the cream and white was one of our original Westminster piggies from a back yard breeding situation and was born approx 9/1/24. She is bonded to Vela, a crested white and black girl who was born in the rescue after her pregnant mom was pulled from a shelter in LA, born 12/26/25. They are a healthy active pair and are very vocal, who loves chatty pigs??
They will be brought to the shelter to meet their potential new family so please apply via our web site. Alumni adopters have our numbers.
SoCal is full of piggies needing homes, please adopt before you purchase and support big business

As hard as we try we can never rescue them all.
The requests for intake are overwhelming right now.
Because we are a 501c3 rescue we rely 100% on the public: volunteers, customers, adopters, donors and cheerleaders.
We have saved over 22,000 animals and close to 800 animals so far this year.
We are honored that people will trust us with their pets they wish to relinquish but our previously adopted pets will always have priority for intake followed by crisis situations that we have room for.
Please support folk rehoming their pets as safely as possible, individuals can do so much to help.
Shelters and rescues are doing their best but it’s not keeping up with the reality of pets needing rehoming right now.
We will continue to do our best despite feeling like we are trying to climb out of an oil covered slippery slope.

Sanctuary highlight!
Azriel was a recent emergency intake due to severe malocclusion. He is getting settled and is feeling much more comfortable following a tooth trim and painkillers. He remains on antibiotics for infection related to the malocclusion.
He is a chonk of a boy and the sweetest natured guy who loves pets and gentle cuddles and conversations.
Azriel will stay with us while we determine the long term effects of his dental issues. In the meantime he is enjoying soft baby food, veggies and treats. Mealworms are a hit and so are pine nuts.
Please send some love to Azriel this season and consider supporting his on going care.
