NY-Life Long Tails

More Life Long Tails Piggies!

I've previously featured ADOPTED! Michael and Myers, but they are finally available for adoption! If this world had its priorities straight, people would be lining up at 4 AM and getting in fist fights to be their adopters tomorrow. They're an abby father and son team. Michael is the pop and a year old, Myers is the son and 4-5 months old. They arrived in the rescue in a very poor state, dirty with horribly overgrown nails and lice. This condition could have been so easily prevented. They weren't immediately available for adoption because they had to get all fixed up, and now these cuties are ready to be taken home with you. Michael is a mellow boar, and Myers is a vocal bouncer.

ADOPTED! Lona and Gracie are two sows in foster care. Lona is a black and white abby who is about 9-10 months old. Gracie is 6-7 months old and a Peruvian/Silkie. They are both gorgeous! Shockingly so. Lona is a bit skittish but coming along. She loves veggies and will eat straight from the hand. Gracie's hair needs regular care to keep it smooth and beautiful. She was delivered to the rescue in very poor condition, but they've cleaned her up-and how! Gracie was mistreated by the kids of her former family, so she was also a bit skittish upon arrival. Lona's picture is the first one, and she is the piggy on the left.

POST DELETED. Albany, NY: Here's a repost, I believe, for Baby, who is a super cute girl. The picture I'm posting is from the first ad; there is no photo attached to this one. She is a five month old girl who is not getting enough attention in her home. The poster is worried she will get lonely. Her reasonable adoption fee includes her cage, water bottle, half a bag of bedding, some pellets and hay, and a number of things on the guinea no list. She is a sweetie sow, by the looks of her.

LISTING REMOVED. Hazlet, NJ: Kids grew bored with Oreo, the guinea pig in question, so the poster took him in and committed to keeping him for fr33 until he or she found a good home for him. So she's dumping him for fr33 on Craigslist. I hope she's being unknowingly reckless with his care, instead of being aware of the dangers. He comes with his house, bowl, cage, bedding, food, etc. The endangered boar is black and white.

Let's Give Thanks! (SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW PIGS)

My pigs enjoying their T-day meal

I'd like to take a moment to say thank you to all of the rescues and shelters I have listed in the past month. Please consider thanking them as well. Whether it be an email of admiration, a monetary/financial donation, or scheduling to volunteer, the people behind these links are heroes to animals and adopters. When available, I'm going to link to a donation page which will link to info on financial donations, material donations, and donations of your time. Anything you can do to help will be a help. In the hopes that someone will see this and send a thank you, I want to say my appreciation to you. Thank you for helping homeless animals and the people who care for them daily.

My tip is to pick either your local rescue/shelter, or the rescue/shelter which houses your favorite guinea pig(s), and send them a thank you, in whatever form. Let's Give Thanks!

PA-Humane Society of Berks County-Boar

LISTING REMOVED. The Humane Society of Berks County, in Reading, PA, has a new boar. And boar is he cute!

Scroll down for Skipper, a crested tri-color adult. He's striped! And look at those big ears. This guy is a lucky charm, I can sense it.

LISTING REMOVED. Perkiomenville (near Philadelphia), PA: texel boar being reposted. Mother came from a livestock auction with her three babies, mother was pregnant again, two more pups, one sow the owner is keeping, one pup who needs a home. He's not an albino, as the poster writes, but actually a PEW (pink eyed white). Photo below. Too-small adoption fee.

LISTING REMOVED. Alden (near Buffalo), NY: sow and three unsexed pups being dumped on Craigslist. Poster's son developed allergies. I don't foresee a good ending here. Contact the poster for more information, they need to be gone ASAP.

ASAP on a Craigslist guinea pig ad means A Sn@ke Anticipates Prey.
