PA-Glenmoore Small Animal Rescue-Boar

Glenmoore Small Animal Rescue has a new piggie boy. He doesn't have a photo up yet, but I wanted to post him as soon as possible. ADOPTED! Caramel was returned to his rescue after two years with what he thought was his forever home. His owner didn't have enough time for him. Poor Caramel! He is very well socialized with people, and comes with a bunch of supplies. Help this boy out! Teach him what forever is supposed to mean.

PA-Montgomery County SPCA-senior boar

NOVEMBER IS ALMOST OVER but that doesn't mean that all the senior pigs have homes!

LISTING REMOVED. Montgomery County SPCA has a five year old boar staying with them. He's a white male piggie without a picture. This is going to really hurt his chances of being adopted. The poor boy doesn't even have a name! Help him out. If you can't adopt, maybe you could go down to the shelter and bring this guy some acceptable veggies, and give him a little pet. Or offer to take a picture of the guy!

NY-Black Dog Second Chance Rescue-three babies

Introducing three of the cutest piggies I've ever seen: Larry, Moe, and Curly. They're being fostered by a guinea pig knowledgeable person in Buffalo, NY for Black Dog Second Chance Rescue.

Each one of the dear babies is six weeks old, very sweet and adorable. They need to be adopted either to a family who already has a male pig, or they can all be adopted together. I know which option I would choose! But if you have an adult male piggie who is alone for whatever reason, they lost their mate or never had one, a young male to old male pairing is generally very successful.

ADOPTED! Moe:

PA-Action for Animal Inc. Humane Society-Boar

An interesting update on the bonded boars featured in this post. Pedro's listing has been removed (let's hope he was adopted!), and LISTING REMOVED. Gizmo has been relisted by Action for Animals. As a girl!

She is a large adult, and a sweetheart. It takes her a minute to warm up to you, but a lot of guinea pigs are like that in the shelter. Then wait till you see them in their forever homes!

NY-Craigslist-Two Listings

LISTING REMOVED. Rochester, NY: Two sisters in W. Irondequoit need a new home. The owner is willing to split them up, but I really advise against this. Guinea pigs can become incredibly depressed when separated from their mate. And these girls are one and a half years old, so they've had quite a while to bond. They are sweet vocal girls who sound beautiful. One has brown and white teddy fur, the other is mainly black with white and brown fur. Why would you take just one of them? They sound so sweet!

LISTING REMOVED. Syracuse, NY: Three babies need a new home. Two months old, able to be separated from their mother. The mom came to them pregnant and they can't keep all the babies. They are snuggle pigs, two girls and one boy.

POST DELETED. Upper Dublin, PA: Not much info here. A guinea pig comes with cage and water bottle. The poster "can't have it in school anymore." Well, those cavy private schools can be pretty expensive. I hope they tried for scholarships before dumping the pig to the sn@ke owning public. Could have given the pig a chance to get his grades up. Buy uniforms at an outlet store. There are ways to cope!
