NY-EUTHANIZATION ALERT-DESPERATE CALL FOR HELP

PIGS ARE SAFE AND ALWAYS WERE! READ UPDATE here.


ONE DAY until fifteen guinea pigs in upstate New York are euthanized. Now that a college br33ding program has ended, the pigs are going to be killed on Wednesday, the twelfth of December.

Any help is desperately needed. Foster homes, adopters, financial or material donations, donations of time, transporting a pig to a safe home, etc.

All fifteen of these Pink Eyed Whites (PEW)s, though lab animals, have been handled daily and are friendly.

The school in question is SUNY Delhi, a small college in the Catskills Mountains of New York. Its website is here: http://www.delhi.edu.

For any questions or offers of help, please either leave a comment, email me at Adoptaguineapig @ gmail.com (remove spaces), or visit this thread on Guinea Lynx: here.

PA-Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue-Silver and Gold

NOTE: DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS AND THE LARGE NUMBER OF HAVE A HEART GUINEA PIGS, HAH ENTRIES WILL NO LONGER BE RETROACTIVELY UPDATED. MY APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS CAUSES. THE HAH WEBSITE WILL OFFER THE MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION.

Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue is a great rescue which has piggies in foster homes in NJ, PA, and DE. I divide featuring their pigs up by state, and this post is for the PA boars and sows.

Apricot and Marigold are two new piggies to the PA herd. They're on pregnancy watch so they won't be available until early February. They were dumped at the local animal shelter because their owners no longer wanted them :( They are both gorgeous one year olds. Apricot is an orange and white American, and Marigold is an orange and white Peruvian.

Pops and Corn
have been with the rescue for a while, but I hadn't featured them individually yet. These kids were born in the rescue in August of 2006. Both boys are tri-color crested Americans. They are both used to dogs and cats, and they both are waiting for their forever home!

NJ-North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue Inc.-New and Old Pigs!

Due to increased time commitments, I am no longer going to be able to update past entries of some of the larger rescues such as Have-A-Heart and NJGPHR. Once a week or so I will update the herd of the respective rescues.

Two new piggies for the North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue Inc. herd! (And by the way, they're in need of bedding and foster homes--check out their page for more information).

Bobby and Solomon don't have pictures up yet, so I'm going to post their bios and then three piggies who do have photos and are NJ old timers.

Bobby is a large adult guinea guy, who is a very handsome orange, brown and white American. He's a one and a half year old boar. He can be adopted out as a single pet, but I bet he'd prefer to be a friend and guinea mentor to a lonely young boar. He was given up by a family that no longer wanted him. How could they not?


Solomon is a very cute boy. He is one and a half years old, and yellow, brown and white. Solomon has an age-old story; he was given up by a family because their children were no longer interested in him. Like Bobby, Solomon can go as a single piggie, or as a friend to a lonely young boar.


On to our documented photogenic piggies:
ADOPTED! Ethel, Lucy, and Robby.

ADOPTED! Ethel piggie is a newish girl to the herd. She is a year and a half old, and a lovely tri-color abby girl. She was given up because of asthma. She can go home with her mother, or be adopted to a home with a lonely female waiting on tip toes for a friend.


Lucy piggie is an adorable and big girl. She's two and a half years old, and a bold and confidant gal. She was given up because of asthma, and can be adopted with her daughter Ethel, or another friend in the rescue. Or she can be adopted to a home that already has a lady guinea waiting.



Robby piggie is a one and a half year old guy who was given up because his family traveled too much to care for him. He's a red American with a white face, and could be best paired with a submissive male or adopted out alone. I bet Robby would like the former option.
