Update, 2/18/09: Mo’s listing is no longer available on Petfinder.

Maybe I’ve just got guinea pigs on the mind, but when I saw dear Mo listed on Petfinder, I knew I’d found this week’s featured adoptable!

Mo, an adult male guinea pig, is currently staying with LJ’s Briar Patch in Shawnee Mission, KS:

Mo is named for his white Mohawk stripe down his head. He loves to explore and will not hesitate to investigate any place he thinks would be fun to check out, so making sure Mo has a safe place to play is a must. He absolutely loves to eat, and is very vocal when dinner and snack time come around. Mo is a talker and will at times wheek and wheek for a long time if he is not given what he wants (food). He is shy but in the short time he has been in our care he has begun to come out of his shell. With love and attention Mo will be a wonderful addition to an adult only home. We only adopt our animals as indoor pets and we do not ship our pets.

Click through to Mo’s Petfinder page to learn more about adopting this cute and furry little critter.

As for why I’ve got guinea pigs on the brain…Wiki can riddle you that.

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.

We do this for several reasons:

- To highlight the plight of companion animals in the Kansas City area.

- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal.

- To encourage members to adopt a furry friend.

- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.

- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.
