PA-Two Ways to Help the Homeless Guinea Pigs

Two ways of many to help the PA GPs.

#1: Piggie Lovers Inc. Guinea Pig Rescue is in need of donated or low cost dog or cat carriers. They use them to take their animals to the vet, to transport pigs to and from the rescue, etc. It's amazing how all the "small" costs of running to a rescue can add up. If you don't have carriers but do have other guinea pig supplies, I would imagine they'd be in need of them as well. And if you have such supplies but aren't near this rescue, please think of the rescues and shelters in your area.

#2: Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is in need of people to volunteer to visit the small animals at their shelter (bunnies, gerbils, guinea pigs, etc.) while they wait to be adopted. That sounds a great, fun way to volunteer. There's one guinea pig listing on their site, who I believe are now actually with Have-A-Heart, but they're pictured on wire floors. This is a real guinea pig no-no, as it can lead to bumblefoot. Help save the pigs' piggies by checking out this wire floor situation. You'd meet new people if you wanted, and enrich the lives of poor homeless animals. As a side note, they are also desperately in need of foster homes for kittens.
