Percy

Guinea Pig · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Percy is one very handsome little gentleman with a rather fabulous hairstyle! Even though it looks like he has been having a little too much fun with an electrical socket! Sadly, Percy was found abandoned alongside Perry, both boys in a very matted, neglected and unloved state. He is very shy but he is improving everyday as he is an incredibly sweet boy who has shown just how deserving he is of a loving home. Unfortunately, Percy and Perry don’t get along, so they will need to find separate homes. Percy will soon be castrated, and once he has recovered, he will be able to live happily alongside some lovely female guinea pigs. (Lucky boy!) As he is a piggy with a bit more hair, Percy will need an adopter who is prepared to keep his beautiful coat clean, tidy and free from mats, with regular grooming and care. After everything he has been through, Percy deserves a forever home where he can be loved, pampered and appreciated for the fabulous little character he is. Guinea pigs need a spacious, secure enclosure no smaller than 160cm x 60cm (4×2 C&C) day & night but the bigger the better!

About Percy

What life with Percy looks like

Percy is a young adult guinea pig animal waiting at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Percy far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Percy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Percy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Thornberry Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Percy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Percy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Thornberry Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Percy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Percy isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Thornberry Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Percy and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
