They both have guinea pigs of all ages, breeds, and both sexes.

North Jersey saved Giovanni from euthanization, and now he's been living the high life and is ready for a home! He is a two year old extra large Peruvian boy with a rooster tail. Look at the boy--he wants you to love him!

See the rest of Giovanni's friends here at North Jersey's complete pet list.

Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue has around 200 pigs in foster homes in PA, DE, and NJ.

Phil and Buddy are two bonded large adult males who have been with the rescue since December. They were surrendered because of allergies, but were much loved by their previous owner. They are used to cats, dogs, and kids. Phil is on the left and is three years old, and Buddy is on the right and is 2.5 years old. They're in Pemberton, NJ.

NJ-Friends of Homeless Animals-Trio, 2 single males, female

Friends of Homeless Animals of Northern New Jersey; Hawthorne, NJ: Othello, Tabitha, Cosmo, and Lassie, Louise, and Daggot.

This rescue prefers guinea pig experience in their adopters. Contact for more information.

Othello is a gorgeous long haired abby who currently prefers to live by himself, though that may change as he ages. He is presently listed as "Young" on Petfinder.


Tabitha is a "very sweet little girl" who wants to be adopted either to a home with a guinea pig already or with one of her friends from the rescue.



Cosmo is an orange/white Abby/American mix, with a white mohawk of hair on his head. He is a year old, and has a strong personality. He is one of those rare pigs who could live by himself (or maybe with a spayed female?)



Louise is a young american guinea pig, primarily white in color with some other colors on her face and rear. She is paired with Lassie and Daggot.



Lassie is an orange and white American pig who came to the rescue from the shelter. She is a bit skittish but should improve with time. She is paired with Louise and Daggot.



And here's the lucky guy with two girlfriends, Daggot. He's a neutered one and a half year old teddy.

South Jersey: Bonded x-large males being rehomed after being rescued from "being sold as food." They have been socialized for two months and are now used to people and other pets, are very vocal, and have kid experience. Separate from this post, but I've always wanted a chance to link to this article: ("What is Rescuing and Adopting?" ). A rescuer shouldn't have to pay for the animals they rescue. In a capitalist society, that only fuels more abuse. Please consider other avenues when faced with animal cruelty.

Hatboro (Philadelphia), PA: Two 1.5 y.o sisters being rehomed due to children losing interest. Calico colored, one is an abby, the other has "silky short hair." Though they are a bit skittish due to not being held much, they do not bite. They are "very sweet" when they are held.

Comes with DANGEROUS CAGE-wire floored cages cause bumblefoot, water bottle, food, bedding, other accessories. Also vitamin drops (don't put these in the water, that's a guinea pig myth-they're not water soluble so they stop working after about five minutes and then the water just tastes bad. Reduced water consumption leads to a host of other problems. And what will a non-Cavy Savvy Vet often diagnose and then prescribe? Scurvy, and vitamin C drops!

Do me a favor, dear reader, if you are near this neighborhood but aren't able to save the guinea pig yourself, could you print out and place a GuineaLynx Care Guide near the cage (with permission)? And make sure s/he's not out in the sun? If the guinea pig is, try and convince the owners to put him inside, perhaps with a sign saying there's a guinea pig indoors. Failing that, move piggy into the shade.

Farmingville (Long Island), NY: Tan/white guinea pig (Boy or Girl? ), 8 months old, comes with cage, water bottle, food dish, and some toys. Must be picked up by the 24th or poster is taking the pig back to the petstore. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Never take a guinea pig back to a petstore for rehoming; they do no screening (just whoever can pay for the pig) and will often give returned guinea pigs away for free to anyone who wants them. Sn@ke owners are aware of which stores that do this; major chains are among them.

Watertown, NY: Guinea pig (Boy or Girl?)being rehomed due to too many pets and child losing interest.

Albany, NY: Three year old male guinea pig, "a huge lover, he cuddles and is very well behaved." Being rehomed due to other pets (kittens) being too interested in him. Comes with cage, water bottle and food dish.


LISTING REMOVED Staten Island, NY: 1 y.o. guinea pig comes with cage, food, toys, "very handsome and lots of fun." Guessing male? Named Cashis/Cash. Being rehomed due to move. Wants to find an adopter with guinea pig experience.

Massapequa Park (Long Island), NY: 1o month old friendly male guinea pig (mainly brown, some white) being rehomed due to son losing interest and mom no longer wanting to care for him. Comes with "everything you need." I would recommend at the very least Cheaper, Better Cages.

Suffolk (Long Island), NY: Three female guinea pigs being rehomed due to owner losing her job. Adopter must provide food and bedding. Come with cages, water bottle, and other accessories. 2 y.o. guinea pig by herself (Guinea Pigs need a friend! Social Interaction ), and two bonded females (3 y.o. and 1.5 y.o. ) being rehomed together.

Corning (Elmira), NY: 1 y.o. unsexed guinea pig (Boy or Girl?) being rehomed due to son losing interest after rescuing guinea pig "from horrible conditions." Guinea pig is friendly, quiet, with short calico hair. Adopter with guinea pig experience preferred. Comes with food, Timothy hay, treats, cage, water bottle, and pine bedding (make sure it's kiln dried).


Syracuse, NY: 1.5 y.o. male guinea pig being rehomed due to lack of time, needs help being socialized to people. Poster would prefer him to go to a rescue. Guinea pigs can be socialized pretty easily to a caring individual who has patience and time. Registering with GuineaLynx and posting on the forums for help is a good way to get tips. Comes with cage, litter (hopefully Bedding), and food.
