Amidst the dogs, cats and, increasingly, rabbits waiting at shelters to be adopted, pocket pets often get overlooked. Pocket pets, which include hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats and guinea pigs like Goalie here wind up at shelters for the same reason that other pets do—owner surrender, abandonment, cruelty and unwanted litters. Goalie is a sleek piggle outfitted in his black-and-white uniform, waiting at our shelter with several other pocket pets. Can you level the playing field for him? If so, meet Goalie and his teammates at the Companion Animal Village at 7700 East Spring St., (562) 570-PETS. Ask for ID#A591014.
(This rescue encouraged by the usual suspects.)
