Adopt A Pet from the Lassen County

Animal Shelter – Clover and Carmela


Meet Clover and Carmela.


They are sweet, little, and spunky. These 1-year-old guinea pig girls were surrendered to the Lassen County Animal Shelter and are now in search of their new forever home.


Clover is ALMOST completely hairless, with a bit of a hairdo up top and her buddy is Carmela, the slightly more skittish girly of the two. They must go as a pair since guinea pigs are very social critters and crave companionship. If interested in Clover and Carmela, please call Lassen County Animal Shelter staff at 530.257.9200.
