Piggie Lovers Inc. Guinea Pig Rescue; Latrobe, PA: Herd Update!

ADOPTED! Hamlet & Rothbart & ADOPTED! Hercules & Zeus & ADOPTED! Glenda & Norma Jean & Duchess & Marie & ADOPTED! Templeton & Ludo & Rex & Ash & Roxy & Ivy & Boobits & Hagrid & ADOPTED! Albert & Einstein & ADOPTED! Miley & Hannah & ADOPTED! Madison & Hailey & ADOPTED! & ADOPTED! Willow & Brooke & ADOPTED! Niles & Alfred & ADOPTED! Archie & Alister .

Madison and Hailey are a beautiful, unique pair of girls about a year of age. Madison is on the left and is a teddy mix (look of a teddy but fur not as coarse), and Haily is the abby/short hair mix on the right with the gorgeous mark underneath her eye. Madison is curious and loves attention, while Haily is warming up to people and is a little more skittish. They are very sweet once they warm up to new people.

Willow and Brooke are a pair of adorable bonded girls who have that rare but wonderful label "extra large." They're around 10-11 months old. They love food, and eating hay until they fall asleep! They're vocal, demanding, large and in charge, and all they need is a forever home willing to cater to them.

Niles and Alfred are bonded six/seven month old male guinea pigs. Alfred has a very long "rooster tail"! I've always wanted a guinea pig with one of these. They're very laid back, but get excited when people are near their cage. Niles is super friendly and easy to pick up, and Alfred loves lap time and cuddles. They're both big popcorners. They love veggie time, and afterward they know how to re-lax. They pancake flat on their bellies and stick their feet out. Their bio has even more information on these adorable boys.

Archie and Alister are bonded two month old babies who came to the rescue in a group of nine pigs, and stuck together the whole time. They are available for adoption May 5th. These are rowdy boys who are active, love attention and hunting for veggies! Alister (the crested boy) is a handsome boy and he knows it. He is going to grow into such a looker!

PA-Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue-Pigs from 2007!

I have been extremely negligent in posting Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue updates. They have been handling a massive hoarder and cruelty case. The saddest thing is that this is by a repeat offender. I'm going to link to a page with more information, but there are graphic photos of the results of animal cruelty there. Be warned. You can find information on how to help at the home page of the rescue. INFO ON THE CRISIS PIGS: WARNING, GRAPHIC AND SAD!

One of the most helpful ways to ease the burden on Have-A-Heart is to adopt one of their guinea pigs! They have hundreds of healthy guinea pigs of all ages, br33ds, and colors! Here is their complete pet list.

And there are some guinea pigs who have been with the rescue since 2007! Please consider these pigs first.

They've been waiting for a forever home
for what feels like forever!

And welcome to the new additions:



Napoleon and Lafayette and Cronus are now a bonded trio.

Napoleon and Lafayette are brothers who were born on December 5th of last year. They were adopted out previously but did not bond with the adopters' preexisting boar. They're getting along great with Cronus (born 4-6-05), so now the three are a bonded trio. Cronus' had recently grown to dislike his previous cage mate, who was then adopted. It's great that these three found each other.

Napoleon and Lafayette are very vocal, especially when it comes to food. Cronus is a survivor of a testing lab, though he wasn't tested on, but was socialized. Remarkably, Cronus has come to love veggies and hay almost as much as your average guinea! This is a testament to both the ladies at the rescue and to Cronus himself--his inner piggie was just waiting to be spoiled!

Napoleon and Lafayette are young and so still getting used to having to take breaks from running around to be pet and loved on. Cronus, on the other hand, loves to be cuddled and held. It's the best of both worlds with this trio!


Napoleon is larger and a bit more timid, and Lafayette helps him to mellow out. Contact the rescue for more details on this triumvirate.

Hope is two years old to two and a half years old, and will be available for adoption on April 11th. Here's a quote from her bio "Hope came to the rescue when her former owner couldn't provide a stable environment for her to live in. She had mites and needed someone who could get her the treatment she needed. That's why we changed her name to Hope. She has a hope for a new life, with a new forever family. She will be at the rescue for four weeks where she will be treated with for her mites."

Hope is a sweet and friendly girl who loves attention and cuddling. She has never been housed with other female pigs, but when she hears them wheeking she is quite curious. Hope is getting veggies with loads of vitamin C because she's had a deficiency in the past, and she loves it! She can't wait to have a forever home where she gets loads of love.

Sassy is 6 to 7 months old and will be available for adoption on April 9th. During that time the rescue is going to work on socialization, because this sweet but scared little girl is a little unsure of her nice new surroundings. Look at this beauty!


Miley & Hannah are two bonded girls about a year of age. Miley is on the left, and Hannah is on the right. They're available for adoption on April 9th.


These girls are still pretty skittish, but the work of of the rescuers, and the love they'll receive in their forever home, should be enough to bring them out of their shell. They are very curious about all the other piggie sounds, so the rescuers are looking forward to introducing them to other girls once they're done with quarantine.

They are both gorgeous and unique, and that, coupled with their learning trust, I imagine makes you just fall in love. They need a family that isn't expecting them to be cuddle pigs on the first day, but is excited to see how two nervous guineas can unfold into trusting wonder pigs.
