GUINEA PIG SUMMER HOME NEEDED - Stormi is looking for a temporary home during the summer months. If your child(ren) have been asking for a(nother) pet, this is the perfect opportunity to appease them with a "short-term" pet. All supplies are provided (cage, bedding, food, etc.) for the summer. This can be a single family, or shared by multiple families throughout the summer. Stormi requires very little maintenance, and the small duties that do need to be performed can certainly be handled by your children. Please let Mrs. VanderZwaag know if you would be able to have her for the summer (kvanderzwaag@hollandchristian.org). Thank you!
