NY-Humane Society of Port Jarvis/Deerpark

LISTING REMOVED. The Humane Society of Port Jarvis/Deerpark has the pleasure of hosting one of the most adorable guinea pigs I have ever seen. His name is Mr. Bojangles. Now, I give them many points for that name, but problematically, Mr. Bojangles is being housed with a bunny. This can result in injuries and disease transfer. I don't know anything about this in detail, never having had a bunny, but you can find information on Guinea Lynx from the experts.


Mr. Bojangles is one year old, has a striking crest, and is very friendly. He will be neutered before being adopted.

POST DELETED. Three month old boar gets third time posting on Craigslist. For those of you who remember, this pig was bought for a four year old who couldn't handle the responsibility, comes with a leash, and looks like the guinea pig from Dr. Doolittle. He is so adorable, save him from this situation.


POST DELETED. Young black abby sow, eight months old, being rehomed for small adoption fee. She comes with cage, food dish, and water bottle. She is very friendly, though scared in a new environment, and loves people. Please don't put her on wire grids as she is in the picture, this can lead to bumblefoot.

LISTING DELETED. Carlisle, PA (near Harrisburg): two guinea pigs of unspecified sex available for small adoption fee. One is gray and white, one is brown and white. They are playful, cuddly, and love floor-time. They come with cage, food, water bottle, and pigloo. They do not have to go together, but I imagine that would be nice. The poster says they have to go ASAP. The guinea pigs are six months old, approximately.

PA-SPCA of Lazerne County-single sow

LISTING REMOVED. The SPCA of Lazerne County, PA in Wilkes-Barre, has an adorable guinea pig available for adoption. Chi Chi is a medium sized adult who loves attention. She desperately needs a forever home that will love and care for her the rest of her many days.

PA-Women's Humane Society-multiple pigs

Women's Humane Society guinea pigs--in picture picture!

ADOPTED! Chopper has been there the longest of the guinea pigs at the shelter. He's a friendly one year old who's good with kids. He's "slightly active." I don't know if this rating system applies to guinea pigs as well as it would dogs, for example. I haven't been to WHS, but I think the majority of guineas are more timid in shelters than they would be if securely in their forever home--maybe yours? They have a great site if you're thinking of adopting here.



(trim his nails when you adopt him--ouch!)

Adopted! Baby Piggy, ADOPTED! May-May, and Adopted! Squeak-Squeak were all surrendered together. I'm not sure who is who in the photo. Also, it doesn't seem like the shelter is requiring them to be adopted together, but I'm not positive. Baby Piggy is a five month old boar who is cautious with people. May-May is eleven months old and is also cautious around people. No wonder! They were given up when their owner moved out of state. That would make me wary. Squeak-Squeak is also eleven months old and has a medium-length coat.


Adopted!
Co-Co, ADOPTED! Snowball, and Adopted! Patches were surrendered to the shelter because a family member had allergies. Again, I don't know who is who or whether they have to be adopted together. Co-Co is a nine month old boar, tri-color, and small. He's cautious around people. Snowball is a white boy, nine months old, and of medium size. Patches is a tri-color boar, medium size. He is nine months old and cautious around people.

LISTING REMOVED.
Spring City, near Philadelphia, PA: Sweet friendly, cuddly sow being dumped on Craigslist. A selling point this poster provides is that the guinea pig will walk on a leash. Please never do this to your guinea pigs. It is very scary for them to be restrained. If the guinea pig is walking on the leash it is probably trying to walk away from you. To hide. Give this girl a good home where she can be her guinea pig-self. Not a novelty.




WITH A RESCUE! Somerset, PA two young sows being rehomed for small adoption fee. Come with large cage that is actually tiny and unsuitable for even one guinea pig, though yes, this is what is marketed as large in a Pet-store. See the link at the bottom for larger, cheaper cages. The girls are seven months old and love attention. Daughter lost interest. Poster says call ASAP if you want to adopt them, and to please call by Thursday. What happens Thursday, if no home is assured? I believe they've been posted before, and I mistakenly said they were with a rescue. Obviously not the case; I apologize.
