See Flash’s HomepageGo to our official websiteYou can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Flash was named Flash because when you go to pick him up, he can move at astonishing speeds. Like… guinea pig teleportation speeds.  And yet. Once he’s actually caught? He immediately transforms into the sloth from Zootopia. Calm. Still. Floofy. Quietly observing the world like he’s working a very slow shift at the DMV. Flash is the perfect example of a guinea pig who lives by the motto: “I… am… speed.” (Only when you’re trying to pick him up.) Otherwise, he’s: Gentle and low-key once settled A classic “run first, trust later” pig Rocking a luxurious long coat that will need regular grooming Much happier being held after the dramatic chase scene is over Flash will do best with an adopter who understands guinea pig logic: prey animals run on instinct, even when they’re sweet and safe. Give him patience, consistency, and snacks, and you’ll unlock his true personality — a mellow little floof who prefers calm over chaos. If you’re looking for a guinea pig who is fast in theory but slow in spirit, Flash may be your perfect match. Flash is an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
