LISTING REMOVED. Monroeville, NJ: This poster lists not just one, but two of the classic reasons for rehoming guinea pigs. One, her children have lost interest, two, she's just had a new baby. Now the piggy, "Piglet," needs a new household that will care about him. Piglet is a year and half old, calico, and comes with a cage, food, and accessories. This piggy needs a long-term thinking adopter.

LISTING REMOVED. New Paltz, NY: One amazing sounding guinea pig available for adoption. First off, he's named Buster, which is what our foster boy (turned out to be a girl, now named Sara) was named. If all Busters are the same, this piggy will be a sweetheart. He has black, white and brown long hair, and the posting describes him as young. Buster is affectionate and energetic, and is not a biter (were he, there are guinea-safe ways of trying to check this habit). He comes with cage and accessories, and is being rehomed due to living situation.

UPDATE: This piggy has also been listed at GPAN.

POST DELETED. Boothwyn (near Philadelphia), PA: two guinea pigs, sex not specified, need a new home. The poster's son is allergic so the guineas have to go. They're one year old--one is tan, one is multi-colored. They come with their cages. Do a pregnancy watch with these two. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, etc.

PA-Ruth Steinert SPCA-seven guinea pigs

Ruth Steinert Memorial SPCA in Minersville, PA has ADOPTED! seven guinea pigs in need of adopters and forever homes. ETA: down to two guinea pigs available for adoption.

It does not seem like this shelter regularly has guinea pigs, which worries me. I hope they have been divided by sex. They might be getting amazing care, I'm just going by the petfinder listing and hoping for the best, preparing for the worst--a good policy if ever in rescue. There are smooth hairs and abbys.

LISTING REMOVED. Keansburg, NJ: two bonded boars need a forever home. They are sweet, healthy short hair boys. They can be in a cage together, or they can each come with a cage. They need a home "ASAP," i.e. A Sn@ke Anticipates Prey. Watch out of these boys, won't you?

LISTING REMOVED. Lowville, (near Watertown), NY: two female guinea pigs being offered for adoption. I'm not sure if this is a relisting of the Lowville ad from two days ago. They come with their cage, food, and some accessories. The poster says they make a great Christmas gift. First off, do Jewish children not want guinea pigs? And second off, animals should never be given as a present. The recipient has not consented and planned for the animal. A few months after Christmas Craigslist will be flooded with posts about unwanted animals. "I didn't know the cat would scratch," "I didn't realize dogs barked so much," and the ever popular, "my kid lost interest." Of course if a kid loses interest, the animal stops having needs. Frwwp.

PA-Piggie Lovers Inc. Guinea Pig Rescue-Bonded PEW Boys

Piggie Lovers Inc. Guinea Pig Rescue has two new guineas available for adoption!

Two new guinea pigs available for adoption. They come from the same sad situation as the guinea pigs in this post.


ADOPTED! Cronus and ADOPTED! Hades are two more handsome PEW boys. Cronus was born in April of 2005, and Hades was born in April of this year. They are very sweet and love to be held.

They were rescued with four other guinea pigs from a lab in Toronto where they were due to be euthanized. Luckily a network of guinea pig lovers got together and coordinated a piggie train to get the cavies to Piggie Lovers. Next stop--their forever home!


They love veggies and are very active. They love the safe hanging toys in their cage. These boys are very lucky indeed.

LISTING REMOVED. Woodbridge, NJ: This post for a sweet one year old boar really makes me (relatively) happy. The poster is going to screen adopters with an application and an adoption fee. Craigslist is a great potential tool for finding pigs of personal surrenders a home, instead of taking up the place of a pig who is due to be euthanized in a rescue. If everyone showed the same level of commitment and patience when rehoming their guinea pigs, Craigslist wouldn't be such a dangerous place for animals. I can't say I agree with rehoming a pet (though I don't know the background behind the ad), but I respect how this person is going about it.

LISTING REMOVED. Moriches (Long Island), NY: Not much detail here. A black and white guinea pig, sex not specified, is being rehomed because of the child's allergies (reason #1094 to not buy a guinea pig as a present). He or she comes with cage, food, and bedding. Just for funsies I'm going to post the bulk of the ad here, as syntactically it reads quite humorously.

"Black and white guinea pig child allergic, comes with cage food and bedding." It sounds like the latest br33der development. A half guinea pig/half human child--try getting him to eat vegetables! Hah hah hah, aww.

POST EXPIRED. New Jersey: three guinea pigs need a new home, as their current family feels they don't give them enough attention. They are tan and white; black and white; and black, tan and white. They come with a large cage, water bottle (get two more!), and some food. This sounds like a nice way to start caring for guinea pigs. A preestablished herd is more entertaining and more self-sustaining in terms of needing attention. Caring for three isn't much more work than caring for two. Responsibly, they are asking for a small adoption fee. They don't list the sexes, so you'll want to determine that ASAP, and determine if you need a pregnancy watch. And post here if you've adopted them!

LISTING REMOVED. Morgantown, WV: guinea pig needs a new home. A two year old chocolate brown guinea pig (sounds cute!), sex unknown, is really "kool" and loves to have his/her belly scratched. The dear guinea needs a new place as the owner is moving to a home that does not allow guinea pigs.

NJ-NJ Have-a-Heart Pigs

NOTE: DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS AND THE LARGE NUMBER OF HAVE A HEART GUINEA PIGS, HAH ENTRIES WILL NO LONGER BE RETROACTIVELY UPDATED. MY APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS CAUSES. THE HAH WEBSITE WILL OFFER THE MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION.

New New Jersey Have-a-Heart piggies! They're without pictures as of now, so I'm also going to feature three pigs with photos after the newbies.

BeeBee is a cute young boar who was given up because of allergies. He is eight months old and is a rust and white abby. He is used to being around dogs and cats.

ADOPTED! Coconut is an eight month old boar who was given up because of allergies. He is used to being around kids, dogs and cats. He is a rust and black abby.

Aden and Bane are a bonded pair who were returned to the rescue because of allergies after they thought they'd found their forever home. They are two years old and ten months. Aden is a black and white abby, and Bane is a cute tri-color American. They are used to being around kids, dogs, and cats.

Levi has been in the rescue since late September. He is a cute black, white and blonde American. Levi is five months old and used to kids, dogs, and cats.

Now on to our pigs with pictures! The theme of this post is "the Sow Power Hour."

ADOPTED! Meso is a gorgeous piggie, if I've ever seen one. She is a year and one month old, and came to the rescue in poor shape, as she had been kept outside. It is never suitable to house guinea pigs outside. Now Meso is doing much better, and is used to kids, dogs, and cats.


LISTING REMOVED--> Snickers and Skittles are two beautiful bonded sows. These rust abbys came to the rescue in August, and are used to dogs and cats. They are adults.


Maxine and Juliet are neat looking bonded sows. They were brought to the rescue in late September because their owners were moving. They are used to kids, dogs, and cats. This mother and daughter pair is two years old and one year old, plus some change, respectively. Maxine is a tri-color crested girl, and Juliet is a tri-color American.
