WARNING: Their adoption contract is a way to dupe people into adopting sick animals. Do NOT adopt…read moreguinea pigs from them! I adopted a guinea pig from them that had parasites and a skin infection from it. They're super contagious and thus spread to the guinea pig I already had at home. Both guinea pigs are seniors and it's scary and awful they both are still undergoing treatment to keep them mite and lice free. Not only will they not help with the vet bills due to their "screw you for adopting from us" policy they won't take any of the guinea pigs that were housed near the one I adopted at the time to the vet. I'd be shocked if they currently don't have parasites as well. I was given a lame excuse that "nothing was noticed when cleaning cages" and they don't have the resources for it. Funny how they're supposed to have people who went to school for animal care there but someone like me picked up on that something was wrong so shortly after adoption. My guinea pig came in with another male. They were separated due to fighting and I saw that other male was adopted. By any chance if you adopted the guinea pig "Tot", he needs a vet ASAP. I asked that you be informed by the Tri County staff about the parasites and they won't do it. Their staff is also toxic and abusive. A woman named Sara Morales is vet tech there and will attack anyone on Facebook who dares to speak out about any bad experiences. Avoid, avoid, avoid!
