Meet Our Sanctuary Animals
Currently there are several little ones here unable to be adopted for various reasons
So...
These precious ones live pampered lives in the rescue home!
These 2 little men are survivors of the San Diego Humane Society transport that occurred on August 7, 2023. They were admitted into Home Sweet Hammy Home on September 4, 2023 and have each grown too old to be adopted out.
Lito and Zain are brothers and were actually just pinkies when they were placed with their mother and 2 auntie female mice in a carrier and loaded onto the transport that was supposed to take them to find their forever home (very unethical of a humane society to do to pinky mice by the way). Instead of making them available for adoption, the Tucson Humane Society gave them and the 321 other animals to a reptile breeder. It is an absolute miracle Lito and Zain were not the first to become meals. Somehow, they were spared and when the public raised an outcry, were among the 62 returned animals to HSSA. The day after their return all 7 mice on the transport were admitted into Home Sweet Hammy Home. Lito and Zain's mama mouse and 2 aunties were adopted by a lovely family who adore mice and already had an elder single girl needing sisters. The 4 of them instantly bonded and will all live happily ever after.

Enoch
Bumble
the Hairless Guinea Pig
A hamster should never be out on the streets, a stray, to fend for themselves. No animal should, but Enoch was. Picked up by an animal control officer and taken to PACC he must have been scared to say the least. Fortunately for him, he got to live his stray hold time here in the rescue and then was admitted as a sanctuary resident after he wasn't claimed by an owner. Enoch is older, so unable to be adopted out but its okay he loves his new cage and is welcomed here for the rest of his life, however long it may be.
He receives nightly treats and a whole lot of love each day he's here. We may not be able to undo his past, but while here he will have everything he wants and needs.

Also known as "Skinny pigs" hairless guinea pigs require a bit more specific care then guinea pigs with hair do. They need to eat more so they will poop more, and they'll need extra boar cleaning as well as oil on their skin to remove dead cells and prevent a buildup. Their endearing personalities more than make up for the extra work though and these 2 have captured the hearts of many who visit the rescue and see them on our social media pages. They are quite comical and LOVE treats getting very vocal anytime a bag crinkles within their hearing parameters. Originally Bumble was admitted into the rescue because he had bumble foot while living at the petstore and the employees did a great job of getting him nearly healed however he wasn't able to be sold so they requested surrender. After 3 years of not being adopted he will be remaining as sanctuary resident and is instrumental in helping to teach people about proper care.
