About Newt & Vernon
Meet Newt and Vernon, two adorable guinea pig companions ready to fill your life with joy. These boys are a packaged deal of cuteness. They may be small, but they are full of personality and charm.
Both Newt and Vernon are known for their playful and friendly demeanour. They are quick to warm up to their human companions, offering endless entertainment with their light-hearted antics. The pair love to explore their environment, showing off their agility as they run, jump, and wallow around in play. The adorable duo are masters of their very own language, and they love to express themselves with endearing squeaks, purrs, and whistles.
Passionate about their meals, these two guinea pigs practically turn into food critics around lettuce, their ultimate favourite treat. You'll surely giggle at the sight of them nibbling and chomping away at their favourite greens with gusto.
Newt and Vernon are the epitome of fun, friendly, and cute pets. They are perfect for a new family that appreciates the chirpy, cheerful nature of guinea pigs and, of course, has a supply of lettuce at the ready! Their winning combination of charm, humour, and adorable looks will unquestionably bring warmth and positive energy into your home.

Adoption details
Regardless of the breed of animal you are looking to adopt, our adoption process is the same.
The first step of the process involves submitting an adoption application form. The form helps us understand a little bit more about you and your household and is used to figure out whether animal is the right fit for your household and what you are looking for, and also if your household is the right fit for the animal.
After a review process, shortlisted applicants will be contacted by one of our volunteer adoption coordinators usually by phone call or message. This is an informal conversation to discuss any questions we may have about the application and re-confirm any information provided. It is usually at at this point that we will organise a Meet & Greet with you and the animal.
It is a Strong Heart’s adoption policy to arrange a Meet & Greet with the prospective family and the animal before finalising the adoption. The Meet & Greet will allow the opportunity to visit the animal and have a pat and a play with them. The foster carer will tell you a bit about the animal's personality and what they have been like for the time they’ve been in their care. It is a great opportunity to ask the carer about the animals food, sleeping and any other health requirements.
If the Meet & Greet goes well on the day, in most cases you will be able to take the animal home straight away after payment of the adoption fee. All necessary paperwork including vet work history and transfer of ownership information will be sent via email within a few days unless otherwise specified.
