PA-Adams County SPCA-Three small adult males

Adams County SPCA; Gettysburg, PA: Peanut and Brothers Chuck, Albuquerque and ADOPTED! Filmore!

*NEW* Peanut is a poor piggy! Her owner passed away, and eventually she found herself at the shelter. She is a very sweet girl, in need of a forever home and some love.



Chuck (first pictured) Albuquerque (second pictured) and Filmore (third pictured pictured) are three brothers who were surrendered to the shelter when their owner could no longer care for them. The three of them were purchased at auction then given to their owners, who never really wanted them in the first place. Please see the links below for helpful care tips. Their bio also offers helpful information. GUINEA PIG LESSON: If an animal is a gift it should be consensual. The surprise animal gift rarely works well for any parties involved (allergies, vet costs, ongoing costs, interest, space, life changes, etc.).






* AAGP recommends quarantining any new guinea pigs
for 2-3 weeks and confirming the sex yourself.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *

Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society; Philadelphia, PA: Penny and/or Two girls, not bonded!

Girl One is a black and rust abby, Girl Two is a Black/White/Orange shorthair. So pretty! They are "both beautiful and healthy piggies, very friendly and they deserve better than to be stuck at the shelter. "


I'm not sure if Penny is one of these girls, but look how cute! She's a really adorable small young girl. And that's the flash reflecting on her eyes--she's not like Cyclops from the X-Men. OH but wouldn't that be neat?!



PAWS also has a recent post up with volunteer opportunities! In addition to the basics like walking dogs, PAWS needs people to help volunteer with the OVERFLOWING small animal room. There are tons of impulse Easter bunnies who wound up at the shelter. If you're interested in helping contact them through the link.
