PA-Piggie Lovers Inc. Guinea Pig Rescue-New pigs!!

Piggie Lovers Inc. Guinea Pig Rescue has four new guinea pigs available for adoption!

ADOPTED! Milton and Chester are two adorable guinea pig brothers. These abbys arrived at the rescue after a piggie train organized by some GuineaLynx members.

Milton was born October 12, 2007. He is a Pink Eyed White (PEW) abby, with black lining on his ears. I almost never see PEW abbys, and this one is a cutie. Milton is the less dominant of the two, and he likes to hide behind Chester when he's scared.

Chester was born June 15, 2007, and he is a tan, black and white abby. Chester is the more dominant of the two, and he's a big boar. He and Milton (those names are perfect) like to run all around their C&C cage, so the rescue is recommending their cage have a loft for even more fun playing.

ADOPTED! Eleanor is such a beautiful girl. I am completely in love with her. She is a chubby girl, and a senior at five years old.

She's a calmer piggie because of her age, but she can still get up a good trot around the cage when it's time for veggies. She lives next to her friend of five years, Madame Mim (featured below), and the rescue would like for them to be adopted to live next door to each other, but not in the same cage.

The two don't like to live with each other, but they do like lying on each side of the grids and talking. Nothing like some nice neighborly gossip!

ADOPTED! Madame Min is another cutie. She is also five years old, and is a brown, black and white short hair.

She is usually up for being held, and enjoys a scratch on the head here and there. If she ever is feeling grumpy and doesn't want to be held she'll chitter at you.

Madame Min is more active than Eleanor, and loves to eat. She will even steal food from Eleanor's side of the cage through the grids!

This cutie is Al to Eleanor's Tim, and they should be adopted together to continue on in their sweet, set-in ways.

NJ-Have-A-Heart Guinea Pigs

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.

I have neglected to feature far too many of the New Jersey Have-A-Heart pigs. As a reminder, this rescue has a New Jersey mailing address, but foster homes in NJ, PA, and DE. Based on their sheer quantity of guinea pigs alone, odds are you could find the guinea pig of your dreams from this rescue. They have guinea pigs of all ages, br33ds, colors, temperaments, and both boys and girls. They need new fosters too, so consider Have-A-Heart if you're considering fostering.

Now, on to some of the babies I've been snubbing. My apologies, guineas!

Trooper came to the rescue from the local animal shelter, where he was turned in because he was no longer wanted. He's been in the rescue since Oct. 21, 2007. This cute silver and white agouti is used to being around dogs and cats. I am so drawn to his picture that it was getting dangerous. I'm counting on someone else to adopt him so I don't crack!

LISTING REMOVED--> Ohhh, is Sam a cute boy. He has been in the rescue since June of this year, and when he was turned in he was three and a half years old. Sammie is a senior! This cute boy needs a special home. Sam is a cute rust and white American, and he is used to dogs and cats.

ADOPTED! Wendy and DippinDot are adorable girls who have had a miserable go of it so far. They come from an animal cruelty case, where they were being raised in a barn for human consumption along with many other pigs. They lived with dead guinea pigs and maggots all around them. They have been in the rescue since August of last year--time for these girls to get a forever home! they were both about three months old when they came in to the rescue.
