Humane Society gets 250 guinea pigs from overwhelmed owner The Oregon Humane Society in Portland has taken in 250 guinea pigs from an overwhelmed pet ownerPORTLAND, Ore. -- The Oregon Humane Society in Portland has taken in 250 guinea pigs from an overwhelmed pet owner. But experts say it can be difficult to determine a guinea pig’s gender — and they’re best kept in pairs -— because they keep each other company. Oregon Humane Society spokeswoman, Laura Klink, said an adoption timeline will be determined in the next several days. The Oregon Humane Society’s Cat and Kitten Intake Center has been closed because of the coronavirus pandemic, so it could accommodate all of the guinea pigs. Because there are so many, the society is also working with the Greenhill Humane Society and Lane County Animal Services in Eugene.
