About this Pet
Mary is a white White-Crested Guinea Pig with patches of black along her coat. She's around 1 year old and has had three pups in her life, so far. Mary is cautious by nature, but becomes quite docile when held in your arms or lap. She can never get enough leafy lettuce and will often eat it from your hand when offered. Behavior-wise, she's never peed on or bitten me beyond a curious nibble. Mary also loves to hide, burrow under things, and bulldoze through her environment. She was put into my care a few months ago after a family member of mine decided to take her 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. She was pregnant when she was adopted and ended up having her 3 pups while with this previous owner. I've been doing my best to take care of her and her children, 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. I truly have come to care for Mary and her pups so I'm hoping to find her a loving home.

Adopt Mary and Receive Mary'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, Mary's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Mary receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Mary, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Mary'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 Mary was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Mary’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 Mary’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, Mary’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!
