NY-Erie County SPCAs

There appear to be multiple SPCAs for Erie County, and not much information on either of them. They don't write summaries of their guinea pigs either, which can really hurt their chances to get adopted. But any first time guinea adopters reading this, please know that guinea pigs can be sweet, loving, playful, subtly but deeply entertaining, and so rewarding to rescue. Even though there aren't bios, I have no doubt that there is almost definitely a guinea pig at these shelters which could be your perfect pet.

SPCA Serving Erie County (Angola Location) has the below three guinea pigs available for adoption:

* LISTING REMOVED. Winston, a small baby boy. Please disregard his bio (the lone one), no offense meant to the shelter. Guinea pigs do need space for floor time, can have large vet bills, and require quite a lot of care when sick. Because there are fewer vets trained in exotics it is often more difficult to get them help. I understand the approach of the bio in order to get the guinea pigs adopted, but sometimes this can result in owners not knowing what they're getting in to, and then they don't keep the pig.
* LISTING REMOVED. Slim is a small young boy.
* LISTING REMOVED. Leroy is small baby boy.

Erie County SPCA has the below guinea pigs available for adoption:

* LISTING REMOVED. Scrabble is a small young boar.
* LISTING REMOVED. Eclipse is a small young boar.
* LISTING REMOVED. 2470214 is a medium sized young boar.
* LISTING REMOVED. 2470236 is a medium sized young boar.
* LISTING REMOVED Greg is a small adult boar.
* LISTING REMOVED. Peter is a small adult boar.
* LISTING REMOVED. Barbados is a beautiful small adult sow, and one of the few guinea pigs with a picture. Her face is so unique--her markings remind me of a tiger eye rock:

* LISTING REMOVED. Marianne is a small adult sow.
* LISTING REMOVED. Joker is a small adult male with photographic evidence that he's adorable:

* LISTING REMOVED. Julia and LISTING REMOVED. Ronnie are both small adult females. I'm not sure if this is a mistake, but they both have the same picture: (eta--this is Ronnie's picture now, Julia no longer has a photo)

* LISTING REMOVED. Deidre is a small young female.
* LISTING REMOVED. Dennis is a small cute young boar.

* LISTING REMOVED. Dolly is a small baby girl.
* LISTING REMOVED. Dannie is a small baby girl with a very confusing picture! Looks like she's a hay lover. * LISTING REMOVED. Calvin is a small adult male.
