NY-Chenango County SPCA-mother and daughter abbies

Chenango County SPCA, NY: LISTINGS REMOVED. Twix and Diamond (bonded status not stated)!

Twix is the daughter to Diamond, and she's one year old. She looks like she's taking one of those scary eye open guinea naps in her photo. She is described as "sweet and playful."

Diamond is mom to Twix, and is a year and a half old, and, is absolutely adorable.



NY-Humane Society of Middletown New York-Boar

Humane Society of Middletown New York, NY: ADOPTED! Winkle!


Not much info on Winkle. One quick note, though whatever color his eyes, he's just as wonderful, I think they might not actually be red. Healthy dark guinea pig eyes will reflect red in a flash. All else I can tell you is he's a small young adult male. That and oh, he's adorable!


PA-Lycoming County SPCA-Adult Pig

Lycoming County SPCA, PA (offers beneficial pet insurance): LISTING REMOVED Goober!


Not much info on this piggy at all. Just an absolutely adorable lug of a pig. Described as small, certainly huggable, sex unknown. Goober needs a bigger cage!


NY-Black Dog Second Chance Rescue-young sow

Black Dog Second Chance Rescue, NY: ADOPTED! Noel! Now being listed with Blue Skies Forever here.



Four month old guinea girl with beautiful hair. Rescued by her foster mom; just gave birth to a litter of babies who were born on Christmas Eve. All the pups have found homes, and now mom needs a home as well. Noel needs to go to a home with another female piggie. Click on her profile for contact information.


PA-Central PA Humane Society-Boar

Central PA Humane Society, PA: LISTING REMOVED. Frito!


Frito is described as a small sweet baby boy who came in with his brother, Corn Chips. Corn Chips not being listed, it seems like poor Frito might be by himself! Sounds like a boy in need of a forever home with a piggy friend waiting for him!

PA-Humane League of Lancaster County-pup

Humane League of Lancaster County, PA: ADOPTED! Buzzie! No info on this pup other than that s/he's small and young. I would guess very young; the ears and fur both look like they have a lot of growing into to be done! A wonderfully cute pup, s/he gets two photos, don't tell the other pigs.




PA-CompAnimals-Boar

CompAnimals; Landenberg, PA: ADOPTED! Coley! Let's hope that cage is a photo of the cage Coley came in with--I hope he's lounging around in larger circumstances now! Coley is five to six months old, and charcoal colored. He is pretty shy because he is not used to handling. His bio says that because of his age that he might still come around, but my sweetest pig was three and half years old before she was held daily, and now she is a lap hog--pigs can "come around" at any age :) Coley (I love that name) wants a piggy friend, and is a vocal boy.



PA-Adams County SPCA-Boar and (BOAR)

Adams County SPCA, Gettysburg, PA: Tobe and Gardenia !

Tobe or not, no, stick with it, Tobe! Poor Tobe is a scared boy at the shelter. He was surrendered by his owner, so he really is feeling down on his luck right now. His bio puts it pretty it well: "Once I settle in to my new home, with a little love and affection I should stop being soo scared. I would love a new place where I can get out of the cage and stretch my legs and exercise a little bit. Wow, that sure would be fun!!! Stop on by and say 'Hi', hope to see you soon!"



ADOPTED! Scroll down on the exotics page for Gardenia and her sad story. She was found outside in a box by a church; a gentleman brought her to the shelter before she froze to death. She is such a lovely guinea lady. Gardenia's understandably feeling a bit down on her luck as well! She and Tobe both need some TLC in their forever homes. NOW A BOAR-GIZMO




NJ-GPAN-Boar

Livingston, NJ: Oreo, one year old long hair piggy, being rehomed because his family's children are no longer paying attention to him. He has long brown and white hair, and is described as "cute, friendly and very pettable. Loves his carrots."

PA-Humane Society of Berks County-two pigs

Two adorable pigs named LISTING REMOVED. Gidget and Gadget are available at the Humane Society of Berks County. No other information given. But look how cute!

What an adorable bum shot.

LISTING REMOVED. Hunterdon County, NJ: Two one year old piggie girls available for adoption. One is an abby girl, with an orange, brown, black and white coat, the other is a soft short hair with white and brownish gray fur. They are bonded and come with their cage, water bottle, and food. Email the poster for more information.


ADOPTED! (Congrats to the special lady who adopted her :) Cherry Hill, NJ: Sounds like a himi available for adoption. Three year old sow named Pinky, white with brown feet, ears, and nose. Has pinkish red eyes. She is friendly, doesn't bite, and is used to being held and is friendly with other guinea pigs. She comes with her cage, feeder, water bottle, pigloo, remaining food and bedding. She is a lovely pet who is only being given up because of allergies. Email or call for more information. She sounds like a very sweet sow who would make a nice friend for an elderly neutered boar or sow you have at home.

LISTING REMOVED. Browns Mills, NJ: Eight month old guinea pig sow, brown and black, being rehomed because a son got bored with the guinea pig so now the guinea pig has to suffer. Classic petstore purchase turn to CL dump. Comes with supplies, cage, food, hay, water bottle, food bowl, etc. for a small adoption fee. "There is nothing wrong with her." Seems more like a car than a living being.

LISTING REMOVED. Deptford, NJ: GP, sex not specified, being rehomed for fr33 on CL so it won't be killed at a shelter, though depending on the shelter it would probably have better odds there. Comes with cage, pigloo, food, vitamins, water bottle. Previous owner was allergic to the pig, so poster's husband brought the pig home and she didn't care for the poor piggy. GP is friendly and doesn't bite. Call poster for more information.

LISTING REMOVED. Albion, near Rochester, NY: Eight month old sow being rehomed for small adoption fee. Socialized to children, described as a lovable sweetie who is good with children.

LISTING REMOVED. North Buffalo, NY: Repost of an absolutely adorable guinea pig who I fell in love with the first time he was posted too. One year old abby boar who comes with all supplies.

LISTING REMOVED. East Nassau, near Albany, NY: Get ready for some adorability. Two pigs must be rehomed as a pair. Have had a rough time of it. It seems the poster got them three weeks ago from someone on CL, and the pigs are too scared of her kids (it's a huge myth that guinea pigs, one of the most skittish animals on the planet, are the perfect pets for kids, well intentioned monsters with sticky, fast moving jam hands), so the pigs have to go. They are male and female, so she assumes the female will be pregnant (kind of nonchalantly, it's weird, that's a huge deal--better find an exotic vet ASAP if you're going to take up this pair). Come with lots of supplies for a reasonable rehoming fee.


LISTING REMOVED. Troy (near Albany), NY: Rescued girls being dumped on CL, it appears. The mind boggles with contradictions. Two peruvians, one has lone beautiful black hair, one has long beautiful tri-color hair (I'm guessing blue, red and orange). They're very bonded sisters and are a year old. An adoption fee will be discussed. They are very sweet and friendly, and hopefully I am being too harsh on the poster and the adopter will be well screened.


LISTING REMOVED Castleton (near Albany), NY: Two female pigs available for adoption with fee. About one year old and familiar with kids. Adoption fee includes cage, bedding, water bottle, food dish, carrier, and a leash which can promptly be thrown out or used for some creative purpose. Contact poster for more information.

LISTING REMOVED. Allentown, PA: Poster rehoming two guinea pigs, male and female (mother and son, do a pregnancy check), willing to separate (doesn't state whether the pigs are) if you already have a pig friend for them. Very friendly.

LISTING REMOVED. Philadelphia, PA: Two one year old male pigs available for adoption. One is a white abby, the other is black with a white spot on his head (cute). Come with cage and all accessories. Contact poster for more information.

LISTING REMOVED. Lower Burrell, near Pittsburgh, PA: Two male guinea pigs, tame, socialized to people, and young. Must pick up from home. Included with all hay, treats and food. Troublesomely, the cage is not included. I suppose the next pet they're going to give up gets to live there?
