Lehigh County Humane Society; Allentown, PA: LISTING REMOVED. Melinda and Mallory! (This shelter is in the need of computer donations as well as a 35mm point and shoot camera to aid animal cruelty investigations).

Melinda and Mallory are very sweet but also somewhat timid. It sounds like these girls would need an adopter willing to help continue their socialization. They came in with very long nails but the shelter has trimmed them. They appear to be healthy but will benefit from a diet of unlimited hay in their forever home (as well as veggies and pellets, of course).



Their bio also has a great deal of helpful starter information on guinea pigs in general.

Philadelphia Animal Care and Control Association, PA: ADOPTED! Sam!

I love this bio because it's one of those that's written where you can tell that the author really, really loves the animal they're writing about. So I'm just going to quote it in full, because they know Sam better than I ever will.



"Sam is a very social guinea pig who loves to talk if you’re willing to listen. His squeaks are the cutest thing I’ve ever heard and sometimes it even sounds like he’s purring. That’s one smart guinea pig if you ask me! Sam is a sweetheart who enjoys a gentle petting as long as you come at him slowly. But watch out once you start petting him. He’ll never want you to stop! And neither will you. He’ll be the best friend you’ve always wanted and he’ll even let you know with excitement how he’s feeling. Sam would be a perfect addition to a loving family who always wanted a small animal. Guinea pigs are fun, just ask Sam!"

Aren't his markings gorgeous?

NY-Mohawk and Hudson River Humane Society

Mohawk and Hudson River Humane Society; Menands, NY: LISTING REMOVED. Henry! Henry is a very handsome small adult male, his profile says that he is already house trained--I am not sure whether that means he is litter trained, but wouldn't that be nice?

Look at that beautiful face!

ADOPTED!Finley is one year old this month. Happy Birthday Finley! If you want to adopt him as his present, you'll have to wait; this adorable boy isn't available until April second. The poor guy hasn't been housed with other guinea pigs since he was a young two month old, so the rescue is going to throw him a birthday party and see how does with other pigs. Hopefully Finley will even find "his special bonded cage mate." That's BCM or BFF in piggie speak.

He is an adorable piggie who doesn't mind being picked up at all, and likes to explore. He's also kind of a hefty guy, weighing between 2 1/2 to 3 pounds (so a large slice of carrot birthday cake his way, please!). He also loves hay, chinnies, being pet, and forever homes!



Albert & Einstein are two very bonded adult pink eyed white piggie boys. They come from a rescue of a testing lab all the way in Canada. Though they were never tested on, these poor guys were never socialized until the abfab ladies at PLGPR worked their magic.

These two were the most skittish of the six who were rescued, so they spent time with the personal pigs. Now the rescue says they are the sweetest pigs you'll ever meet. They're even their favorites out of the PEW rescue!

It makes sense reading about them. They're so bonded they sleep in one hidey home, even though they have two. And the birthdays are known of all the pigs from their nametags except for Einstein, because this little rebel hated his so much he ate it! (Albert was born 5-12-06).

They love hay, especially running and jumping in it, and even prefer it to veggies. They are vocal boys, especially to get your attention! They could potentially bond with a single male or another pair.

Clarion, PA
: Two males, Sprinkles and Bumbles, are being rehomed. One is brown, the other is tricolored-brown, white, and black. Their reason for rehoming is listed as "Cared for and loved, but don't get the attention they deserve from 2 college students." The two pigs live in the same cage with a divider because they do not get along. Both are healthy. Unclear as to whether the adopter is expected to adopt both pigs. One is one year old, the other is one and a half years old. See the link "social life" below for information on bonding pigs.
