POST DELETED. Manayunk, PA: Well this sounds like a crappy situation. The roommate moved out and left her guinea pig (why couldn't it have been jewelery, electronics, a hot boy who was flawed in some dangerously attractive way?), who was just bought in July (of 2007). Poor boy. Now the other roommate is left to rehome him. he comes with a cage, hay bin, and pigloo, and is "friendly and does not bite." Contact the poster for more information.
LISTING REMOVED. Pittsburgh, PA: Two bonded boars (get along well) are being rehomed for a small adoption fee. They are just over a year old and are both good natured. One is a bit more nervous about being held, but at just one year + old, there's plenty of time to soothe this boy. They come with all of their supplies, which include a cage, carrier, food and treats. Don't forget the hay!
ADOPTED! Cocoa is a new pig with NJGPR, and so her picture isn't up yet. She is described, however, as "a pretty one year old dark brown and orange American." Poor Cocoa was given up because her owner moved into an apartment where she can't have pets. Cocoa can be adopted as a friend for the lonely female piggie you may have at home, or she can be adopted with a friend in the rescue.
ADOPTED! Patty is another one year old piggie. She is a very sweet white American crested piggie girl with beige spots. It sounds like she was given up by the same person as Cocoa, or at least another person moving in to an apartment that does not allow pets. Like Cocoa, she can be paired with a piggie girl who you may already have at home, or a piggie friend she's made in the rescue.
LISTING REMOVED. Lakewood, NJ: Hopefully these guinea pigs are safe right now, either with a respondent or with the poster. I doubt it. Their bedding looks questionable, only one water bottle, no hay, pellet feed is crap. Oh and the adoption fee is too low. Ugh. They come with their cage, pigloo, toy, water bottle and bowl. Guy's thumb not included.
Willow is a young black and blonde Abby girl who is used to being around cats and dogs. She won't be available until Valentine's Day of 2008 because she's on pregnancy watch. Adopting her would be such a gift of love all around! This sentence from her bio makes me so sad " Willow came into the rescue on 12/19/07 when her owners no longer wanted her." If you think you'd like to adopter her but have an intact male at home, why not consider donating toward her spay?
Buster and Benji--these poor boys! They were adopted and then returned to the rescue in mid-November of 2007. Their adopter "didn't feel they warmed up to her quick enough." Guinea pigs aren't creatures that quickly bond to their person, like dogs or cats. Generally they bond to other guineas, and at best will tolerate you giving them chinnies. 75% of the time they think you're a giant bird who tried to cut their nails. Seriously, you love them, and hope they gush on you back, but don't expect it.
Plus their first two weeks they're petrified. Anyway, the two boys must be adopted together. They are very good guinea pigs who are about a year and a half old. Benji is the tri-color abby, and Buster is a black and white American. Can't adopt? Why not donate toward their neuters?
Turbo is such a cute boy! I cropped his photo because he's on the counter next to an oven, and that just made me feel weird inside. But I would bet Turbo's a pretty calm guy if he's willing to pose there! He is a young boy who has been in the rescue since mid-May of this year. He is a cutie-pie brown agouti, rust and white American, and has become used to dogs and cats since entering the rescue. If you can't adopt Turbo, why not consider donating toward his neuter?

Buttercup and Brownie are two girls who need a foster home (loving, permanent homes also being accepted). They joined the rescue on December 22nd because their owners could no longer care for them. Buttercup is a cute tri color American, and Brownie is a lovely sounding brown agouti, rust and white American. They're both about eight months old, and are used to dogs and cats.
Peppi is the adoptive mother to Piper and Pammy and they must be adopted together. Peppi came to the rescue on April Fools day, 2007, because her owner could no longer care for her. Peppi's cagemate passed away after giving birth (20% of birthing sows will not make it through), and so Peppi stepped up wonderfully as mom. Peppi is a brown agouti and white American.
Lovey and Cottonball are former herd-mates of Al. The girls must be adopted together. They will become available for adoption in mid-February because Lovey is on pregnancy watch. Like Al, the two girls are used to kids, dogs and cats. Lovey is a one year old cute brown agouti, rust and white American girl. Cottonball was born on December 15th, and she is a tri-color American, and I'm sure quite cute. If you've wanted to foster for a baby, here's your chance! They're looking for a foster home while they wait out the pregnancy watch. If you can't foster or adopt, consider making a donation toward their spays. Their long term health and the animal overpopulation problem will thank you!
Bandit and Big Daddy are a bonded pair, so they must be adopted together. The boys have been in the rescue since mid-April. They were dropped off at the local shelter because they were no longer wanted by their owners. But Bandit is a super hero!
Duke and Spongebob are two bonded boys who have the totally crappy experience of being adopted and then returned, due to no fault of their own (their owner needed surgery). Both pigs are used to cats, dogs, and kids. Duke is about six months old and is a a cute black and white (ooh) abby. Spongebob is three months old and is a cute black and white American (ooh). Both boys are begrudgingly accepting donations toward their neuters.
Adopt A Guinea Pig is formally against giving any animal as a present. Rescues and shelters experience a huge number of surrenders the immediate months following Christmas.
LISTING REMOVED. Bronx, NY: Six month old guinea girl needs a new home. Small adoption fee applies. Comes with cage, water bottle, food, wheel and flea spray (two things on the guinea no list), bedding and vitamins. Can deliver. Contact the poster for more information, including pictures.
