NY-Unfurgettable Animal Rescue and Adoption-Many Guinea Pigs

Unfurgettable Animal Rescue and Adoption; Buffalo, NY: Alex, Jordan, Pinky and Boo, Sugar, Ryan, Max, and Pepper.

Note: as a reminder, AAGP endorses the cage sizes recommended by guineapigcages.com, to be found at this link: Cheaper, Better Cages.

Alex is a sociable small young male.









Jordan is a small crested young male who loves floor time.









Pinky and Boo are a pair of guinea pig brothers (one of whom pictured at right). They're bonded and must be adopted together. They both have brown spots on their ears and red eyes. They are friendly and lovable.






Ryan is a small young abby male who loves attention and has a "wonderful" personality.








Sugar is a small young male who is sociable but the rescue recommends housing him alone. Maybe he'd be a good match for your spayed female?







Max is a small young male (looks like he might be a teddy-mix) who is shy at first, but you can't help falling in love with this pig.








Pepper is a gorgeous small young male who loves attention.

LISTING REMOVED Chambersburg, PA: YARD SALE GUINEA PIG ON 6/28 SATURDAY. As I said with our last yard sale guinea pig, this is just setting up for a disastrous impulse buy. "guinea pig with everything included." 81 to Wayne Ave exit, right on Wayne Ave., Sheetz on Left--click on link for continuation of directions.

Do me a favor, dear reader, if you are near this neighborhood but aren't able to save the guinea pig yourself, could you print out and place a GuineaLynx Care Guide near the cage (with permission)? And make sure s/he's not out in the sun? If the guinea pig is, try and convince the owners to put him inside, perhaps with a sign saying there's a guinea pig indoors. Failing that, move piggy into the shade.

*If responding to an ad by an individual, meet in a public place
or go with a friend. Google the phone number of the poster to
ensure it matches the name he or she gives *


LISTING REMOVED Hopewell Junction (Hudson Valley), NY: Bonded white guinea pig and brown guinea pig being rehomed, both just under one year of age. Sex not specifed (PREGNANCY WATCH Boy or Girl?). They come with a large bag of food and bedding. I don't understand this part: "THE WHITE ONE CAN NOT MATE..ALBINO GUINEA PIGS CAN NOT MATE!"

GUINEA PIG LESSON: Unless a guinea pig is spayed or neutered, regardless of age or breed, it must be presumed that they can reproduce. They'll sneak up on you after 3 years with 8 pups, and not live through delivery. Also, there are no albino guinea pigs. There are Pink Eyed Whites, known as PEWs. And they can in fact mate. Perhaps this poster is thinking of Lethals, who should not reproduce.

Rochester, NY: Two bonded sisters, 4-5 month old GPs, one a black/white american, the other a black/dark orange abyssinian. "Playful, vocal, and clearly very cute!" Being rehomed due to lack of time. Come with too small cage ( Cheaper, Better Cages) and accessories, and any remaining bedding and food. Want a guinea pig experienced home or one willing to give a lot of out of cage time.

GUINEA PIG LESSON
: Carrots are only good as an occasional treat, and are basically equivalent to junk food for guinea pigs. Learn about what to feed your new friend here: Proper Diet . Pellets also shouldn't have colored pieces or corn.


LISTING REMOVED North Ton (Buffalo), NY: 3 y.o. male guinea pig being rehomed due to no longer being compatible with cage mate (cage mate is a younger male, they go through adolescence and can change personalities, doesn't reflect on adoptable pig). Pictures available by request. Adopter needs own cage (Cheaper, Better Cages ).

Binghamton, NY: Baby guinea pig (sex not specified Boy or Girl?) being rehomed due to move.
