About this Pet
Beefy is a coarse haired black guinea pig with beige patches on her fur. She's under 1 year old and has been housed with her mother and sister. Beefy is a relatively flighty guinea pig. She responds decently to being held, doesn’t have excessive hand nibbling habits, and eats well. Behavior-wise, she’s naturally anxious and fearful. Beefy needs a good hiding spot and space she can escape to be away from others. She was put into my care a few months ago after a family member of mine decided to take her and her family off the hands of one of his employee's; who thought it was a good idea to adopt a pet despite knowing they'd only be in the country for a month. Her mother was pregnant when she was adopted and ended up having her and her siblings while with this previous owner. I've been doing my best to take care of her, however, finances for food and ample space have been a challenge to ensure. In addition, her new owners have decided they no longer want her either and have tasked me with the job of getting rid of them all. I truly have come to care for Beefy and her family so I'm hoping to find her a loving home.

Adopt Beefy and Receive Beefy's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Beefy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Beefy receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Beefy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Beefy's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Beefy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Beefy’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Beefy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Beefy’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
