12 Days of Pawlidays: Hei Hei
What is 12 Days of Pawlidays?
This holiday season, make a difference by helping a long-stay pet find the loving home they’ve been waiting for. From December 12–23, we’re spotlighting a different animal each day, giving them a chance to shine as the star of the day. These incredible pets have been patiently waiting for their perfect family, and now it’s their turn to find happiness. Best of all, on their special day, their adoption fees are completely waived—meaning it costs $0 to bring home a lifelong friend and brighten their holiday season.
Meet Hei Hei: Your Next Furry Sidekick
Looking for a tiny companion who’s big on charm? Meet Hei Hei, a 1-year-and-6-month-old male guinea pig currently residing in Palo Alto, ready to bring joy and snuggles to a loving home.
Hei Hei was lovingly surrendered to Pets In Need when his previous owner had to move across the globe. While he’s adjusting to his new environment, we know he’ll truly shine with a little companionship—whether it’s from a fellow guinea pig or a devoted human. Guinea pigs like Hei Hei are naturally social creatures, and he’s eager to share his days filled with sniffs, squeaks, and the occasional nap in a cozy hideaway.
Why Hei Hei Will Steal Your Heart
Hei Hei has a soft spot for fresh greens, and his delight might just earn you the ultimate reward: a joyful “popcorn” bounce. For the uninitiated, popcorns are little jumps of excitement unique to guinea pigs—a delightful dance of pure happiness that will make your heart melt!
This gentle little guy would thrive in a home where he can settle in, munch on tasty snacks, and maybe even become the star of your veggie parties. Whether you’re a seasoned guinea pig owner or new to the joys of small pets, Hei Hei is the perfect fluffy friend to brighten your days.
What Hei Hei Needs
Hei Hei is looking for a loving home where he can feel safe, cared for, and—if possible—have a guinea pig buddy by his side. Guinea pigs are incredibly social animals, and pairing Hei Hei with a new friend would be a wonderful way to keep him happy and engaged.
