PA-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.

Time for some more PA Have-A-Heart guinea pigs to get their 15 minutes. It's up to you to provide the rest--give one of these guinea dears a forever home! As a reminder, Have-A-Heart also has foster homes in New Jersey and Delaware.

LISTING REMOVED. Two Bit is a beautiful brown and white agouti boy. He's an adult who has been through a lot, and is a mild mannered guy who loves to lounge around. Once he hears veggies he's quick to snap in to action though!

GreyBee, Chalie, and Palomino are three boys new to the rescue. They're just babies, and came in from the local animal shelter. They were turned in with their mother because they were no longer wanted. They must be adopted together. They were born on 10/18/07, and are used to dogs and cats, and are super cute.



Chip is a dear boy who was born in the rescue in August. Of 2006! That's too long to not have a forever home. He's crested, and used to dogs and cats. He doesn't actually have red eyes, apparently that's just the photo. This guy is neutered.


The rest of the PA H-A-H gang:

Oliver and Simon ~ Chip ~ Pops and Corn ~ Buster and Benji ~ Charlie and Johnnie ~ LISTING REMOVED--> TwoBit ~ LISTING REMOVED--> Cupid and Smores ~ Hatch ~ Rascal ~ Turbo ~ John and Kamil ~ LISTING REMOVED--> Patches and Petunia ~ Jalopy and Lamore ~ PC and Reebox ~ ADOPTED! Hoss ~ Bernie ~ Humphrey ~ Sammy and Mickey Mouse ~ LISTING REMOVED--> Buddy ~ DJ ~ Minnie Mouse and Rachael Ray ~ Cookie, Sugar Pie, Sieka, Princess and Sundae ~ GrayBee, Chalie and Palimino ~ Becky and Sesame.

PA-Wheek Care Guinea Pig Rescue

Wheek Care Guinea Pig Rescue has a number of new guinea pigs available for adoption. Their bios aren't up yet, but I wanted to go ahead and post their pics and basics so you can fall in love with them now. As a reminder, Wheek Care Guinea Pig Rescue is in Lower Burrell, PA, and was one of several rescues to help during the MA hoarder crisis, when 150 guinea pigs were living in a shed under horrific conditions.

ADOPTED! Angelo is a small young male cutie:


ADOPTED! Jack is a comet-looking small young male. Such gorgeous long fur:


ADOPTED! Munch is a small young male with gorgeous markings:


ADOPTED! Dudley is a small young male who I'm sure is much nicer than his Harry Potter counterpart:


ADOPTED! Farley is a wildly cute small young male:


ADOPTED! Pippen is a small young male who looks like such a sweetheart:


So if you're looking for a small young male (guinea pig), Wheek Care Guinea Pig Rescue is the place for you!

NY-EUTHANIZATION ALERT-DESPERATE CALL FOR HELP

PIGS ARE SAFE AND ALWAYS WERE! READ UPDATE here.

FOUR DAYS until fifteen guinea pigs in upstate New York are euthanized. Now that a college br33ding program has ended, the pigs are going to be killed on Wednesday, the twelfth of December.

Any help is desperately needed. Foster homes, adopters, financial or material donations, donations of time, transporting a pig to a safe home, etc.

All fifteen of these Pink Eyed Whites (PEW)s, though lab animals, have been handled daily and are friendly.

The school in question is SUNY Delhi, a small college in the Catskills Mountains of New York. It's website is here: http://www.delhi.edu.

PA-SPCA of Luzerne County-Two Boars


The SPCA of Luzerne County has a cute new boar named ADOPTED! Buddy. He is a very friendly four year old boy who was given up to the shelter because his family could no longer care for him. He is used to cats as well as older kids. He is such a sweetie boy!

I asked about his eye over on GuineaLynx, because I was worried it might be pea-eye (if you notice it looks a bit sunken), and was told by a medical expert there that it might be, but if it's not red or irritated there's no need to worry. I don't mean to offer this as medical advice, just wanted to give any potential adopters my own concerns, then relief. Here's more information on guinea pig eyes from Guinea Lynx.

ETA: While I was posting that, SPCA of Luzerne County added another boy! His name is ADOPTED! Lenny. He is a young, curious, and active guinea pig who is very personable. Lenny was given up because his family was moving and could not take him with them. He is a wonderful pig who would bless any adopter with his presence. And he's cute too!

PA-Craigslist-Three Bonded Girls

* If responding to a Craigslist ad meet in a public place, or go with a friend. Google the phone number of the poster to
ensure it matches the name he or she gives *

LISTING REMOVED. Reading, PA: Three girls need a new home due to lack of attention. I know some middle children who have had the same complaint, but their parents didn't cart them off. Anyway. They are sweet little girls who have been together their whole life, and they are two to three years old. Very reasonable fee includes the girls, food, "shelters", water tank (?), food bin, hay bin, treats, toys, etc. Names are Dahlia, Sunflower, and Tigerlily. Just as a personal recommendation, we have three personal pigs in one cage and it's great--more fun for them, and depression won't be as strong of an issue when the first pig passes.

LISTING REMOVED. Mount Kisco, NY: Two two year old girl guinea pigs with cage need rehoming. They are beautiful! Also come with water bottles, and it seems like other accessories as well. This listing opens with a sentence that is hell to any guinea pig or guinea pig advocate's ears: "Surprise your kids for the holidays with 2 great pets." And part two of that, appearing months later, "Surprise two great pets by getting rid of them because the kids don't care and why did you think guinea pigs could take the place of a racing bike?"

NJ-Craigslist-Two Listings

* If responding to a Craigslist ad meet in a public place, or go with a friend. Google the phone number of the poster to
ensure it matches the name he or she gives *

LISTING REMOVED. Jackson, NJ: This is a very sad situation. Because of a family illness, this guinea pig needs a new home. Patchy is a one year old sow, who is very sweet, beautiful and vocal. The poster would prefer she goes to a home with cavy experience. She comes with a cage, bedding, food, pigloo, hay and bedding. She is a beautiful pig, and I really hope something can be worked out for everyone involved.



ADOPTED! Hammonton, NJ: Another cute New Jersey piggie. This guy is named Sneakers, and he's two years old. He is used to being handled. Seems like the familiar case of a parent buying a guinea pig for kids who are too young, then the guinea pig gets passed to a new home in the hopes he'll get more attention there. I'm crossing my fingers too.
