NJ-Monmouth County SPCA

Live in Eatontown, NJ and you're looking for a guinea pig? Apparently the Monmouth County SPCA almost always has them, but they don't list them. This is going to make it practically impossible for them to get adopted. Please don't go to a br33der or a pet store-there are plenty of guinea pigs without homes, not really getting a chance. The handsome guinea posted here is MCSPCA's poster cavy, and he's already been adopted.

NJ-Animal Sanctuary Society, Inc.

ADOPTED! The Animal Sanctuary Society, Inc. is a rescue that helps all types of animals. It's based in Mount Laurel, NJ. The absolutely adorable Rothie is in their care. He is described as "charming" and a medium-sized guinea youth. He is amazing looking. Even if it was rescue policy, I wouldn't wear gloves with this guy. His fur looks so soft and pet-able!

WV-HillHaven Animal Sanctuary Rescue

HillHaven Animal Sanctuary Rescue in Anmoore, WV is a private sanctuary for all types of animals. Have any extra scoopable cat litter? Send it to them; they're always in need. They're also in need of adopters for the two beautiful girls in their care.

Gabby and Gidget are great guinea pigs who like carrots (feed only sparingly) and fresh veggies (it's so sad when a guinea doesn't) and wheek away during supper time. The beautiful (one crested) girls are looking for a forever home!

NY-Lollypop Farm in Fairport 2

Here are some more of the Lollypop Guild.

Aww, this is one of the most lovable PEW's I've ever seen. LISTING REMOVED. Canoli is an adorable 1 year old male.
LISTING REMOVED. Moe is a gorgeous brown self. He's one year old, and I think I can make out a crest in the photo!

LISTING REMOVED. Taffy is a gorgeous abby. I don't think I've ever seen one who looked quite like him. He's one year old too. Those nails need to be trimmed, poor guy!


LISTING REMOVED. Poor Speedie doesn't have a picture. He's a one year old white calico male. I bet he's a quick one!

LISTING REMOVED. Oreo is a one year old orange female. I don't get the name-maybe she...I don't know. Someone adopt her and tell me how that name fits! Name changed to Carmel.

LISTING REMOVED. Brownie is an orange one month old. Aww, a baby! Again, someone adopt her and tell me about the name.

LISTING REMOVED. Lt. Mitchel (I really don't know) is a black tortoise shell boar, who is one and a half year old. Maybe he has a dominant personality?

LISTING REMOVED. P.J. is a three year old tan male. Three year olds don't get adopted nearly as often. Help P.J. out! I adopted a three year old and she is sweet, calm, and used to the lap.

Locations in this posting: Mainline (near Philadelphia), Germantown/Philadelphia, Allentown, Lewisberry (near Harrisburg).

LISTING REMOVED. Small, almost 1 year old sow available to good home-sigh. "Cute as a button," the guinea pig is gray, brown, and white. Cage, food, bedding included. Mainline, PA.

LISTING REMOVED. Tinkerbell, a dear guinea pig, comes with cage and supplies. Owner dumping her because she commutes so far that she doesn't have time for her. Clap your hands to help her find a home.

LISTING REMOVED. 11 Guinea Pigs: Two abbys bought from Pet Store, turned out to be pregnant (this happens far too often). Their combined litters are eleven babies. The babies will be available for adoption once weaned (3-4) weeks. If not picked up, will take the babies to the Pet Store. Sigh again.

LISTING REMOVED. Two guinea pigs being dumped because of allergies. Both boars. G Pig is mostly brown and black with some white. Patch is black and white with a brown patch by his eye. Come with cage, water bottle, food dish, pigloos, and chew things (I doubt these are healthy for them). Ideal if they can go together. Lewisberry, PA.

NY-Craigslist, Four Listings

Locations appearing in this post:


Troy (near Albany), Greece (near Rochester) x2, Le Roy (near Rochester).

LISTING REMOVED. Three guinea pigs and an English Angora rabbit being offered on Craigslist for small adoption fees in Troy, NY. Being rehomed due to moving. GP1 is a 3 y.o. brown and white sow currently living in a small animal tank. Guinea pig no no: They should never be housed in tanks or aquariums; the air circulation is very poor and can dramatically affect the guinea pig's health. GP2 is an 8 month old calico guinea pig girl, spayed. GP3 is a long haired (cream and white) boar. The picture below is of GP1.


LISTING REMOVED. Here is a guinea no-no listing in Greece, NY. They're being offered for a dollar, which is far too little. Lucky and Rodney are being dumped with their cage and water bottle. They're beautiful. That cage is far too small-it should be a guinea pig cage in a dollhouse.


LISTING REMOVED. Two month old boar in Greece, NY only given a few weeks before being dumped because he's too much responsibility. They got the guinea pig for their four year old daughter, and are surprised they're doing all the caretaking. I bet their daughter is somewhere wearing a pair of pants for a shirt. He is active and "looks like the Chris Rock guinea pig from Dr. Doolittle." Comes with cage, harness to WALK HIM WHAT? I was typing it without reading. Well if they're trying to give the guinea pig walks each day no wonder he's too much work. Maybe this couple is brother and sister. Also comes with water tank (don't take it, get a water bottle), food bowl, hanging bed, food and shavings (?). They're probably unknowingly taking care of a puppy.

LISTING REMOVED. Three guinea pigs need new home ASAP, Le Roy, NY. Six month old sow, different shades of brown. "Albino" male (guinea pigs aren't ever albinos, they're actually Pink Eyed Whites [PEW]) is two-three months old, son of the first guinea pig. Oh cripes, that's an early pregnancy. The dad is orange and white, red eyes. All very lovable, have never bitten. Come with cage, water bottle and food dish. Someone please get these guinea pigs and split them up/alter them, this is a baby making factory waiting to happen.

POST REMOVED.



Skinny is such an amazing looking pig. I have no idea what the hell his bedding is in that photo, but it's not good for him. He's being offered for fr33, he lives in Middle Island, please please please don't let this boy get eaten by a sn@ke. I love him just from his photo. Save him and post pictures in the reply thread, I will be very grateful. He comes with his cage (there's no way it will be big enough-see C&C cages under helpful guinea links), food and supplies. He's friendly and "squeeks sometimes." He likes carrots, celery, and cucumbers. Save him, fatten him up, and give him a new name!

NY-Lollypop Farm in Fairport

Lollypop Farm in Fairport has so many animals it's astounding. Small animals have their own room. I also think they have a contract to get the best looking guinea pigs around. One of my exes contested the best looking women were in New York, maybe it applies to guinea pigs too!

LISTING REMOVED. Piggy is 1 years old and 7 months. He has a crest! And beautiful markings.


LISTING REMOVED. Pokey is a copper colored boy who is 1 year and 7 months old. He looks really smart to me for some reason. Maybe it's just because he's got a newspaper.





LISTING REMOVED. Burt is so adorable. It looks like he has blue eyes. This is a ridiculously cute guinea pig. He's ten months old, and that's all the info says about him but wow, what a gorgeous guy.




LISTING REMOVED. Tucker is a handsome eight month old abby. He looks like a caterpillar that metamorphosed into a guinea pig.


There are a couple of guinea pigs without pictures. Below I try and intuit their personalities from their names. Fun!

LISTING REMOVED. Foxy is a one year old tan female. The name could imply she's good looking!

LISTING REMOVED. Honey is also a one year old tan female. I bet she's sweet?

LISTING REMOVED. Buddie is a one year old guy. Tan color, with salt and pepper markings. Someone to pal around with.
