More animals becoming pets in Davis County

FARMINGTON — Of the 322 animals Davis County Animal Care and Control has adopted out during the first quarter of this year, 25 have been members of the rodent family.

The rodents consisted of a family of guinea pigs a Woods Cross resident turned over to the shelter for adoption, said Clint Thacker, director of Davis County Animal Care and Control Services.

Thacker said it took some time, but eventually all the guinea pigs found homes.

More importantly, Thacker said, is that the county’s animal services are on pace to top last year’s adoption total of 1,132 animals.
