I'd like to spotlight pigs from two large, wonderfully reputed New Jersey rescues. They have many more pigs than those I'm about to feature, so please if you are in New Jersey and looking for a guinea pig, or looking to become more involved in guinea pig care, contact them! 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.

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.
