NY-Guinea Pig Home-Young Boar

ADOPTED! By his own owner--Max's owner resolved her hay allergies and was able to keep Max!

New York, New Yoooooork: Such a cute boar boy available. I am head over heels for this guy, he looks adorable. Max is being rehomed because the poster suffers from very severe allergies caring for him. He's a very sweet guy who has lived alone since being in the poster's care, so the poster cannot make a definitive recommendation as to how he will get along with other piggies. But since he's a year old he's past the adolescent stage, which makes pairing easier. Doesn't sound like he's neutered. He comes iwth a cage, feeding accessories, and toys. He also needs a home by Dec. 20th. Rally round, guinea lovers!

POST DELETED. Hawthorne, NY: A repost of two very cute guinea pigs in need of a home. Ziggy is a three year old abby, and Daisy is a two year old short hair American. Ziggy takes a bit to warm up to you, while Daisy is a sweetheart right off the bat. They have a cage that might be useful for quarantine purposes, but isn't large enough by the standards outlined at Cavy Cages (link below). Adoption fee in the form of a donation to the local shelter. That's great! I really commend the poster for requiring that essential step.

NY-GPAN-Senior Sow

Valley Stream, NY: Poor guinea girl. Sarah is five years old, and due to schedule changes she can no longer be cared for properly. She sounds beautiful, with long tan and white hair. She is very personable, cuddly, and purrs when happy.

PA-Furry Friends Guinea Pig Rescue

I love Furry Friends Guinea Pig Rescue! My beloved Sophie came from this rescue, and though I think she's the cutest piggie they'll ever have or have had, they still manage to have some winners. This is a home based rescue in Wallingford, PA. They are always in need of financial or material donations if you're unable to adopt but want to help, just see their website for details.

Meanwhile, here are three more of FFGPR's darling guinea pigs. Links to the whole gang provided at the bottom.

ADOPTED! Simon is a poor boy who thought he had found his forever home but was returned to the rescue. Kudos though to the person who honored the contract and returned Simon, instead of dumping him on CL or at a shelter (this happens far too often). Simon was born on 5/13/06 in the rescue, and he is a cute brown and white abby.

ADOPTED! Tabitha is a cutie girl. Her bio just says that she's young, and of medium build. She has two other really cute pictures, make sure to check them out. I had a hard time choosing just one!




ADOPTED! Bow is a neutered adult boar, bonded with ADOPTED! Cookie, an adult sow. Bow is two and a half years old, and such a cutie! He and Cookie came in to the rescue when their family could no longer care for them. Poor piggies!

NY-Craigslist-Two bonded boars

LISTING REMOVED. Rochester, NY: Two bonded boars, thought to be around a year old, need a new home as their owner is going on a cross country bike tour*. Walter and Harry get along great. Walter is fiesty and Harry is "cute as a button." These adorable boars come with a cage, any left over food or bedding, and an exercise ball that should be immediately donated to a home with a hamster.

*It's always weird hearing an unconventional excuse for someone dumping their pets. Normally it's a) kids bored, b) allergies, c) new pet/baby, d) moving. Bike tour? Completely a new one for me.
