LISTING REMOVED New City, Rockland County: A guinea pig is being sold at a yard sale tomorrow morning 9 AM. This is just setting up for a disastrous impulse buy. I hope the guinea pig isn't outside. He or she could quickly die from heat stroke. Piggy comes with cage.

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.

* AAGP recommends quarantining any new guinea pigs

for 2-3 weeks and confirming the sex yourself.

Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *

PA-Animal Care and Welfare Inc.-Two boars, one young, one adult, not bonded

Animal Care and Welfare Inc.; Pittsburgh, PA: Smith and Wesson!

Smith and Wesson are being rehomed because their owner is moving. They can be adopted together or separately as they are not bonded. Say "No Tanks!" to the offer of the 40 gallon tank for their housing--this leads to poor air circulation and a toxic environment. Instead why not try Cheaper, Larger Cages?

Smith has no picture and is an adult. Update:



Wesson is the gorgeous pig pictured below, and he is described in his bio as young.
