Found grey guinea pig with blue collar near Walmart
Description
I found a grey guinea pig this afternoon around 4:20pm behind the Walmart on 8th Street in Garden City, Southwest Kansas. It's about the size of a tennis ball, with soft grey fur and a tan patch on its side, and it's wearing a bright blue collar with a tiny silver bell. I kept it safe in a small cardboard pet carrier with a beige towel, and it seems curious but healthy. There's a small white patch on its nose and a barely noticeable notch in its left ear—unique features I can point out if you’re missing yours. If you think this is your pig, please reach out; I’d really like to get it back to you; we can meet at the Walmart parking lot or a nearby gas station.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
