PA-Humane Society of Harrisburg Area-East Shore-Two Pigs

Humane Society of Harrisburg Area-East Shore; Harrisburg, PA: GiGi and Unsexed Pig!

GiGi is an adorable small adult female guinea pig. Look at that gorgeous crest! She wants a home so badly, you can see it in her eyes.



This beautiful unsexed pig is just such a winner. She or he is so cute! Here's a good link for determining his or her sex: Boy or Girl?. This piggy should never be br3d, (though AAGP does not endorse the intentional br33ding of any guinea pig) because of the roaning in its fur, which means he or she could produce a lethal pig.


* 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. *

NY-Humane Society of Middletown New York-Thirteen Guinea Pigs

Humane Society of Middletown, New York: Middletown, New York: 13 guinea pig youths and babies!

Thirteen guinea pigs are currently being housed at the Humane Society of Middletown, New York. They were dumped out of a car, poor babies! And now unfortunately they're being housed on wire floors, which can cause a dangerous condition in guinea pig called bumblefoot.

Six of the 13 pictured below:

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.

GUINEA PIG LESSON: PtP is being housed on a wire cage, so I've got to give my bumblefoot warning. Always house your guinea pig on a smooth-bottomed cage to protect their feet.

PA-Craigslist-Allentown/ Harrisburg / Erie / York / Pittsburgh

*If responding to an ad by an individual, 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 *

Bethlehem (Allentown), PA: Two female guinea pigs being rehomed after being temporarily housed with the posters, who took them in after their previous owners were moving. They are well socialized to people and "as sweet as can be."


LISTING REMOVED Strinestown (York), PA: An 8 month old male crested guinea pig named Camo being rehomed due to lack of time. "Very sweet...loves to sit on your lap and watch T.V. with you!" He comes with his cage (too small, try Cheaper, Better Cages), Timothy hay, a half bag of food, a food bowl, water bottle, cage liners, and a GUINEA NO NO: Vitamins don't go in the water! They aren't water soluble, meaning they stop working after about five minutes and then just make the water taste bad. If a guinea pig has a reduced water intake, that leads to a host of medical problems. He should get his vitamin C from a Proper Diet .



Harrisburg, PA: Three guinea pigs being rehomed with cage and shavings (make sure it's not cedar or plain pine) due to lack of time. Two females, one male (PREGNANCY WATCH). This is part of an ad selling a lot of household items. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Adopt them with the air conditioner! Guinea pigs are very vulnerable to heatstroke. They should never be kept outdoors, and if you're too hot, they're definitely too hot.

North East Erie, PA: Two bonded 1.5 y.o. male guinea pigs being rehomed with their cage, water bottles, house, food dish, and these items on the GUINEA NO-LIST: leashes, harnesses, and timothy hay wheel (too much work for the pigs to get their hay). Look how adorable these boys are!



Pittsburgh, PA: One y.o. male guinea pig (brown and white) being rehomed due to change in situation. Well socialized and loves floor time. Comes with play pen. Photos by request. Poster wishes for guinea pig to go to caring and devoted home. (I wish that for all my AAGP babies!)
