PA-Judge's Park

I've posted about Judge's Park be-fore, to urge people to donate in this time of near universal need among East Coast rescues, plus commenting on how beautiful their guinea pigs are. Well this post is going to be a combination of both themes. Some of the Massachusetts guinea pigs are now available for adoption. When you look at these guinea pigs, please think about the situation they were raised in. Neglectful, inadequate, crammed conditions where the animals are multiplying but the already small space (a mere shed) stays the same. These guinea pigs are in need of a genuine forever home, and a promise to love and care for them through the end of their life. They have been through far too much already.

ADOPTED!! I LOVE TRISTAN AND WANT TO ADOPT HIM MYSELF. I have always wanted a little himi baby, but we've got a full house. I alternate between calculating how to get him and a new cage and an addition to my rent-to-rent apartment, and closing the page and thinking about my students loans. So, I BEG of you, loving cavy owners or owners-to-be. Adopt this boar! Please! Otherwise I will and then all I'll be able to eat for a week will be a box of Saltines and whatever Whole Foods sets out. Anyway, Tristan. He is a five month old sweetheart. He's a dominant guy on his way to being a cuddle-piggy. I beg of you, ADOPT HIM!

ADOPTED! Amber is a beautiful little teddy pig. She's thought to be a year and half old, and actually lucked her way in to joining the Judge's Park group--she was an owner surrender to the shelter, and wound up coming with the JPers. She is super sweet, likes to be held, and is really calm. She has to be adopted to a home with other females or a neutered male. She has a bald spot on her back. JP treated her for mites, so now they're keeping an eye on the spot to see if the hair will grow in. It might be dry skin or a scar though. It doesn't stop her from being a beautiful sow!

ADOPTED! Lucky Max sneaked his way into the Judge's Park posse. Though he was actually an owner surrender to the shelter, he wound up heading out with the hoarder guineas. He is a large silkie estimated to be a little over a year and a half old. Max is basically a perfect piggy. He likes to be held, he's vocal, and he loves a good petting. Max's only issue is that he's a chubby boy, and he needs to lose weight. I hate it when health issues get in the way of a perfect corpulant cavy!

ADOPTED! Oooh Oliver is a cutie. But this boy aint for sale! He's for adoption to a loving, loving home. He's six months old and a real sweetie. He can be skittish (understandable considering his upbringing), but the Judge's Park team is on the case. He is on a straight path toward lap piggie. Oliver is bonded with Ripley, which means you get to adopt two gorgeous abby boys at once!

ADOPTED! And here's Ripley, Oliver's other half. He's also six months old and very sweet. Though he can be a bit skittish too, he is destined for lap-piggiedom as well. He is malnourished, so he has a heavy regimen of veggies to follow.

ADOPTED! Rupert is a small baby boar, who is bonded with Sammy (pictured below). He is estimated to be four months old. Despite having to live his whole life in a hellish environment, he is a sweet sweetheart. He is also the director of Judge's Park favorite among them--and I bet she knows her guineas! He's a vocal, cuddly, kissy boy. He's malnourished and needs to do some growing. Since he's paired with Sammy, and Sammy can't go to young kids, Rupert can't go to a home with young children either.

ADOPTED! Sammy is a small young boar. He is a year old (est). Despite spending a year in such horrific conditions, Sammy is a sweetheart. He is a bit skittish at times, and can nip if feeling threatened, so he's not a good match for young kids. Sammy is malnourished and had to be treated for mites (all better). Sammy and Rupert are bonded, so they've got to go together. The home who gets the two of them will be a lucky home indeed.
