Plenty of Pets

Gandalf is a sweet little Guinea pig who’s waiting for his forever home.

He’s a little shy but, with more snuggling, will likely become more sociable.

Gandalf is located in the small animal adoption centre at Hope for Wildlife. The adoption centre is open for visitors from Wednesday to Sunday, 10 am-4 pm.
