ADOPTED! Snickers is a guinea pig in Central Jersey who is in desperate need of a forever home. He's being dumped because the children in his house are bored with him. He loves attention, doesn't bite, and is very friendly. He comes with a big cage (I doubt it's big enough), pigloo, alfalfa (only appropriate if he's young), and some pellets. Help this dear boar out.

NJ-Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue

NOTE: DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS AND THE LARGE NUMBER OF HAVE A HEART GUINEA PIGS, HAH ENTRIES WILL NO LONGER BE RETROACTIVELY UPDATED. MY APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS CAUSES. THE HAH WEBSITE WILL OFFER THE MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION.

Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue is an amazing rescue with hundreds of guinea pigs in foster homes all up and down the east coast (NJ/PA/MD/DE). They are always in desperate need of more foster homes. Contact them if you want to help this enormous rescue organization save even more guinea pigs.

While my goal will be to one day feature every guinea pig Have-A-Heart has for adoption, it's such an enormous task I've got to break it up. I've copied links here for every Have-A-Heart guinea pig in New Jersey posted on Petfinder as of Halloween, 2007. There are so many other guinea pigs in other states, and I'll be posting those shortly. But if you fall in love with a far away guinea, remember: it's worth a drive to keep them alive! So a'la Furry Friends Guinea Pig Rescue, here are my top three New Jersey Have-a-Heart guineas:

#3 Most Wanted NJ Have-A-Heart Guinea: Violet. She is such a beauty! She's been in the rescue since August, and I've had a guinea crush on her since then! I want to see her little face poking out of my stocking this Christmas - slashnevergiveanimalsasgifts.


#2 Most Wanted NJ Have-A-Heart Guinea: LISTING REMOVED-->Cookie, who is bonded with the also adorable Flyer and Squirrelly. They are all 1 1/2 years old sows, and were dumped at the local animal shelter. They've been with the rescue since December of 2006. That's far too long for such amazing guineas to not have a forever home! And look, she's like a guinea Seinfeld would love.



#1 Most Wanted NJ Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig(s): ADOPTED!! Xyloma and Tess! Tess is Xyloma's daughter, and this beautiful team has been waiting for their forever home for two years. The hell? These two are so wonderful. Xyloma came in to the rescue quite pregnant. She is used to cats, dogs, and kids. They're small sweethearts looking for love.


Peppi, Piper, and Pammy -- Bandit and Big Daddy -- ADOPTED!--> Marie, Francis, and Liddy -- Harley and Edwin -- CRUELTY CASE LANCASTER -- LISTING REMOVED--> Mae and Nelissa -- Squeek and Mouser --ADOPTED!--> Moses -- Toby and Felix --ADOPTED!--> Tammy and Sue -- LISTING REMOVED--> Liz and Freida -- LISTING REMOVED--> Sam -- Snowflake -- Tyson -- ADOPTED!--> Perdue -- ADOPTED!--> Pistachio -- Abigal, Spatz, Junie -- Felice and Gucci -- Squash, Blossom, and Penelope -- ADOPTED!-->Chase -- Alice, Betsy and Claire -- LISTING REMOVED--> Q-Tip and Cupcake -- Speedy and Rocket -- Violet -- LISTING REMOVED--> Snickers and Skittles -- Twila and Drizzle -- LISTING REMOVED--> Nassau -- Moona -- LISTING REMOVED--> Hershey and Kisses -- ADOPTED!-->Josephine -- ADOPTED!--> Milkshake, Rootbeer, and Squeaky --LISTING REMOVED--> Harley -- ADOPTED!--> Gilbert -- Lionel and Ritchie -- ADOPTED!--> Meso -- Maxine and Juliet -- ADOPTED!--> Daisy and Sayge -- Peanut and Butter -- Dorothy and Mia -- LISTING REMOVED--> Rootie, Levi, and Bocelli -- LISTING REMOVED--> Slash -- ADOPTED!--> Choppers -- Ebby, Farina, and Sally -- Squidwird -- Piper -- LISTING REMOVED--> Harvest -- Autumn, Squash, and Acorn -- Doze -- Maurey, Slugger, and Korey --ADOPTED!--> Emily -- Becky and Sesame -- Gingersnap andTigera -- Moby -- ADOPTED!--> Steel -- Trooper -- Jitterbug -- ADOPTED!--> Joleen -- ADOPTED!--> Eclair and Creampuff -- Diaz -- BigBoy -- ADOPTED!--> Snuggles -- ADOPTED!--> Xyloma and Tess -- ADOPTED!--> Pie and Piper -- ADOPTED!--> Wendy and DippinDot -- Sylvia, Wheels, Whippet, and Whiskers -- Hunter and Tumbles -- LISTING REMOVED--> Tuxedo, Cider and Patience -- ADOPTED!--> Lilith and Daisy -- LISTING REMOVED--> Cookie, Flyer, and Squirrely -- Ralph -- Bubbles and Rose -- LISTING REMOVED--> Peter and Carmel -- Leah and RoxyDoodle

So I let Mr. AdoptAGuineaPig pick out his favorite, and he chose one of the beautiful abbys of the Alice, Betsy, and Claire listing. He writes: Unfortunately this beautiful pillow of girl along with two other silver & white abbys (silver!) were being housed outside. She seems pretty swell and fluffy.

POST DELETED. The ad in this post has been reposted. West Milford, North Jersey-missexing a male led to five adorable baby guinea pigs. Please check out the sexing page on GuineaLynx to help prevent this common occurrence. Boys and girls available, she would like some of them to go to homes together. Sex them to make sure you know what you're getting in to. And it better not be br33ding.

PA-Glenmoore Small Animal Rescue-boar

Glenmoore Small Animal Rescue is a foster-network rescue in its fourth year. It is always looking for more foster homes!

They also have a gorgeous guinea pig named ADOPTED! Brutus. He is healthy, happy, gentle and sweet-sounds perfect! He's in a cat heavy foster home, but stays cool as a cucumber. He's a year old, wonderfully vocal, and absolutely loves his veggies!

PA-Furry Friends Guinea Pig Rescue

A little bit about myself: I live in Maryland and have three guinea pigs, as well as two fosters, and one sanctuary pig (permanent foster). Esme and Lisbon were adopted from Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue, which is the same organization for which I foster (Gypsy and Rollo) and care for a sanctuary pig (Peaches, pictured at right). I am a Petfinder addict, and one day I saw Sophie (then named Sparks) and I fell in love. My awesome friend Shari drove me three hours + to pick her up in Wallingford, PA from the Furry Friends Guinea Pig Rescue. One of the most amazing things about this rescue is a) that the director is really nice and all around great, but b) all of the guinea pigs are there in the director's house and they are all amazing looking. I wanted to leave with 8 more guinea pigs, but Mr. AdoptAGuineaPig would frown on that. So the below is the start of my featuring FFGPR guinea pigs-think of it as a sort of Amazon Wishlist.

MY TOP THREE FAVORITE FFGPR GUINEAS:

Number Three: ADOPTED! Sophie is a beautiful guinea pig who was three months old when she first arrived at the rescue. Her family rehomed her because Sophie was a nibbler, and they had young children. Since being in the rescue Sophie has become much more docile, but she should still go to a loving, patient home. And she has a CREST!

Number Two: ADOPTED! Davy is so intriguing looking. I think he looks like a dadaist guinea pig. This boy is a year and some change, and is a dominant fellow. But look at that "who me?" face!

Number One: ADOPTED! Lola (see also Lola versus Powerman and the Moneyground, Part One for more awesomeness), is a guinea pig I have loved for months from e-far. She's bonded with two girls who I will feature in time, ADOPTED! Bridgette and ADOPTED! Rachel, She is just over a year old and such a sweetheart. Thus, I will post three pictures of her.

PA-Montgomery County SPCA-Abington

I've featured some other guinea pigs who are staying at the Montgomery County SPCA, but their photos are on PetHarbor. The fellow I'm featuring in this post is on Petfinder, so he's probably gotten some more views than the others. Still, he has yet to be adopted! And this guy is too sweet to be homeless.





LISTINGS REMOVED. He is six months old and has lived on his own, or with other guys-though not uncommon, boars who bond easily with boars are valuable. Adopt this beautiful boy with a friend-guinea pigs are social creatures. He's a small guy-help him bulk up with a loving veggie diet!
