PA-Humane Society of Harrisburg Area-East Shore-four pigs

The Humane Society of Harrisburg Area has four very beautiful and unique guinea pigs.

LISTING REMOVED. Taketa is such a beautiful young abby girl. I love her markings--she sort of looks like she has beagle ears!

WITH A RESCUE! Sammie and Guiness are, I'm guessing a bonded pair. They are young sows, and I think they're absolutely amazing looking. Sometimes it's tempting to think short-hairs can't look as neat as their longer-haired brethren. These girls are such a perfect example that that's not true. Though of course it's the personality that counts--and these girls look sweet too!

LISTING REMOVED. Mo Mo is another young sow. I think she is very lovely looking. It's almost as though someone colored her with colored pencils. I love her little white face too. Adopt and send pictures!

ensure it matches the name he or she gives *

LISTING REMOVED. Pittsburgh, PA: Nine month old needs a new home due to lack of attention. He's a lemon and white haired boy. He loves attention and is very sweet. He has longer hair than your average pig. He's a very sweet little guy, and he comes with his cage, food and water bottle. He also comes with cedar bedding, but as this is toxic to guinea pigs I don't advise using this.

LISTING REMOVED. Philadelphia, PA: Three four month old babies delivered to to a pregnant adopted piggie. Two boys and a girl.

PA-Piggie Lovers Inc. Guinea Pig Rescue-three bonded sows

Piggie Lovers Inc. Guinea Pig Rescue has three new girls available for adoption!

ADOPTED! Samantha, Tabitha, and Endora are three beautiful girls. My personal pigs are three bonded girls (and one sanctuary in a separate cage), and it is so much more fun for them and for me.

What's very sad about these piggies is that they used to be be a quartet. Their fourth passed on. Their previous owner knew she was sick and not eating, and didn't care to take her to the vet.

Endora

These pigs are vocal and love attention. Samantha loves having her head scratched. They sound like such sweet guineas!

FLAGGED FOR REMOVAL. Albany, NY: Well uh oh! I'm in communication with the poster of this ad. If you have an older or adult boar and you're trying to get him a mate, this post is your jackpot. Two guinea pigs have now turned in to 14 teddys and long hairs. Please double check the sex of any guinea pigs you adopt from them so you don't wind up in the same situation. These cavy kids are four weeks old, and three-four months old.

LISTING REMOVED. Albany, NY: Eight month old brown and white sweetie needs a new home. She is lovable and vocal, and loves attention and floor time. She sounds like the perfect guinea pig!

LISTING REMOVED. Syracuse, NY: These bonded two year old sows have been reposted yet again. Good luck ladies!

PA-Craigslist-Two Boars

FLAGGED FOR REMOVAL. Pittsburgh, PA: two boars in need of a new home. One is brown and the other is black and white. They are used to kids. These loving pigs come with a cage, water bottle, food, hay and vitamin C (don't put it in the water!). Not sure why they're being rehomed, but I hope they have better luck in their next (hopefully forever) home.

PA-Western Pennsylvania Humane Society-Five Pigs

Western Pennsylvania Humane Society has two new guinea pigs, and three guinea pigs who have been waiting for homes there for a while.

LISTING REMOVED. Cookie is a cute one year old girl. At two pounds she's a smaller piggy.

LISTING REMOVED. MiMi is a beautiful ten month old long-haired girl. She also weighs two pounds.

LISTING REMOVED. Lucy is a brown and white girl in foster care. She is a year and three years old and is a larger girl at three pounds. These guineas are made for hugging! There is some information on her profile that I disagree with, regarding guinea pig care. For example, salt licks are not helpful or necessary for guinea pigs.

LISTING REMOVED. Flower is a beauty of a girl. I would love to see her in person; I've never seen a guinea pig that looked like her. She is one year and two months old, and she's been at the shelter since September! If I lived near her she wouldn't have been there even a day.

LISTING REMOVED. Callie with the crest! This nine month old girl is now in foster care. Her fur is multiple shades of brown, with some white. The poor baby has been with the shelter since September.
