Let's Give Thanks! (SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW PIGS)

My pigs enjoying their T-day meal

I'd like to take a moment to say thank you to all of the rescues and shelters I have listed in the past month. Please consider thanking them as well. Whether it be an email of admiration, a monetary/financial donation, or scheduling to volunteer, the people behind these links are heroes to animals and adopters. When available, I'm going to link to a donation page which will link to info on financial donations, material donations, and donations of your time. Anything you can do to help will be a help. In the hopes that someone will see this and send a thank you, I want to say my appreciation to you. Thank you for helping homeless animals and the people who care for them daily.

My tip is to pick either your local rescue/shelter, or the rescue/shelter which houses your favorite guinea pig(s), and send them a thank you, in whatever form. Let's Give Thanks!

Rescues and shelters need assistance paying for hoarder's crime

* * * CALL FOR HELP * * *

Like Judge's Park, The Critter Connection (a CT based rescue) is assisting in the rescue of the enormous MA guinea pig surrender. A hoarder who had become ill gave up around 150 cavies he had been keeping in his shed. They were in terrible condition, some blind. All of the females are assumed pregnant. That means that any rescue that takes in any of these pigs is going to have to cope with a huge increase in medical bills. You can help ease that burden by donating either time, supplies, a foster home, or finances. Judge's Park donation information is here and The Critter Connection donation information is here. (If I have missed any rescues who are assisting with this effort, please post them in the comments section, along with contact information).

There's also an individual (I e-know her from GuineaLynx) who at this very moment is driving from PA to MA to pick up thirty piggies. I've donated just ten dollars to her myself, and stacked against all the other donations, it made a difference. Just one dollar would even! The cost of just feeding thirty guinea pigs is going to make a huge dent in the wallet. Read information about her journey and the tremendous act of taking in the pigs here. You can find donation information in this thread, as well as more information on this case.

Here are some articles. One Two. The second link also gives you information on how to donate to the shelter.

NJ-Monmouth County SPCA

Live in Eatontown, NJ and you're looking for a guinea pig? Apparently the Monmouth County SPCA almost always has them, but they don't list them. This is going to make it practically impossible for them to get adopted. Please don't go to a br33der or a pet store-there are plenty of guinea pigs without homes, not really getting a chance. The handsome guinea posted here is MCSPCA's poster cavy, and he's already been adopted.
