NJ-Have-a-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue

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.

Have-a-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue: An enormous network of foster homes that extend over PA, NJ, and DE. HAH is always looking for new foster homes. Below are the current NJ pigs (the PA pigs will be featured in a separate installment), and below the roster three listings will be individually featured.

Tumbles ~ Ninja Baby & Happy Cow ~ Kingston & Carmel ~ Miss Piggy ~ Beau & Levon ~ Bear & Sherri ~ Carmel ~ Smores ~ Evita, Somona, & Gwenith ~ Wally ~ Piglet & Eeyore ~ Violetta & Louise ~ Coffee & Donut ~ Bandit and Big Daddy ~ Peppi, Piper, and Pammy ~ Harley and Edwin ~ CRUELTY CASE LANCASTER ~ Squeek and Mouser ~ Toby and Felix ~ Tyson ~ Felice and Gucci ~ Snowflake ~ Abigal, Spatz, Junie ~ Alice, Betsy and Claire ~ Squash, Blossom, and Penelope ~ Speedy and Rocket ~ Violet ~ Moona ~ Twila and Drizzle ~ Levi ~ Lionel ~ Peanut and Butter ~ Dorothy and Mia ~ Ritchie ~ Maxine and Juliet ~ Piper ~ Ebby, Farina, and Sally ~ Autumn, Squash, and Acorn ~ Squidwird ~ Maurey, Slugger, and Korey ~ Moby ~ Doze ~ Gingersnap andTigera ~ Aden and Bane ~ Trooper ~ Ralph ~ Jitterbug ~ BigBoy ~ Hunter and Tumbles ~ Sylvia, Wheels, Whippet, and Whiskers ~ Diaz ~ Bubbles and Rose ~ Nola ~ BeeBee ~ Leah and RoxyDoodle ~ Santa and Claus ~ Cheech, Bonus, Pardo, and Gizzy ~ Poinsettia ~ Doozer and Jake ~ Jolene ~ Treetop, Holly, and Mistletoe ~ Alex and Grover ~ Janet and Chrissy ~ Ginny, Nutcracker, Brownbear and Wolverina ~ Toodle, Maze and May ~ Puff and Deamo ~ Tribble ~ Duke and Spongebob ~ Al ~ Buttercup and Brownie ~ Alvin ~ Lovey and Cottonball ~

Tumbles is a black and white abby (aww) who has been in the rescue all the way back since September. He came to the rescue from the local animal shelter, where he was turned in because he was no longer wanted. He has experience being around kids, dogs, and cats.

Ninja Baby and Happy Cow are two bonded boys who actually need a foster home, not just a forever home! They are bonded and so must be fostered or adopted together. They were born in the rescue to a beautiful abby who has since been adopted. They have experience being around dogs and cats. Ninja Baby is an all black abby (cute) and Happy Cow is a black and white abby (Cute). They are also in need of donations for their neuters.

Kingston and Carmel are two more bonded boys who need a foster home. They were returned to the rescue after their owners' child lost interest in them. Trust me, it's the kid who's boring, not the guinea pigs. Very true universal statement for all animal rescue "Sadly, we see that happen all the time. They get adopted as babies and then come back after they are full grown" These pigs in particular are used to kids, kitties, and dogs. The pigs were born on 3/3/07. Kingston is a black and rust American, and Carmel is a rust American. Donations are being accepted for their neuter.

NY-GPAN-Two bonded sows

Medford (Long Island), NY: Faith and Valentine are one year old guinea pigs that must find a new home, as their owners are moving. One is all black, the other is black and white. They're mother and daughter (I'm guessing the one year age is rounding then for at least one).

PA-Judge's Park-young sow

Judge's Park, PA: ADOPTED! Maggie!


Maggie in one sentence, "A sweet little energetic baby, very friendly with loads of potential to be another guinea pig's buddy." Four months old. Very laid back and sweet. Submissive girl who needs to live with girls who won't take advantage of her pliant nature. Likes to be held, easy to pick up and cuddle, and is very vocal and adorable. Must live with another pig, could work well with a neutered male or any female.

LISTING REMOVED. Albany, NY: One guinea pig is male, one is female, the poster will not allow them to go to the same home as they are not fixed. The poster has brought them back to health from a sad state. Small adoption fee. Male is nine months old and a bit scared "but will overcome it." Female is one year old and familiar with children, used to being held, socialized with people. Poster is fostering them.


LISTING REMOVED Medford (Long Island), NY: Questionable, frustrating ad. Two female guinea pigs. The story is that they adopted one guinea pig and didn't know she was pregnant. Both guinea pigs are a year old (wouldn't one be younger? What with needing time for a gestation period and all?). And why isn't the poster returning the pig to the place the pigs were adopted from? Or I'm misinterpreting it and one is an adopted pig and the other pig is from another source. Then what happened to the babies? Anyway, anyway. "Very good pets. Love to be held."

LISTING REMOVED Long Island, NY: Will trade guinea pig cage, guinea pig, and accessories for a fish tank and accessories. Rehoming due to allergies.

LISTINGS REMOVED. Stony Brook, NY: Smokey the guinea pig (black and white) is available for adoption, and comes with his new adoption. Being rehomed because he was purchased as a birthday gift for the poster's son, but the kid is never home to "enjoy it." I bet the guinea pig isn't too crazy about that arrangement either!

LISTING REMOVED Spencerport (near Rochester), NY: Tricolor male guinea pig available for adoption (gray, brown and white). Less than one year old. Being rehomed because owner is leaving for long term military training. This post makes me sad on a lot of levels :(

LISTING REMOVED. Syracuse, NY: Very cute black guinea pig girl available for adoption because children have lost interest. Comes with cage and accessories. Age unknown.

LISTING REMOVED Havre de Grace, PA: Two very pretty short haired guinea girls need a new home. Multi-colored fur. Come with cage, water bottles, and food holders. Friendly girls though a bit scared at first, like to be held. Prefer contact by phone.

LISTING REMOVED. Lower Burrell (near Pittsburgh), PA: Two young male guinea pigs need a new home. Well socialized to humans and very tame. Bonded, so must be adopted together. Small adoption fee includes hay, treats, and any left over food.

LISTING REMOVED Allentown, PA (repeat listing here): These guinea pigs are listed twice, the terms of what guinea pigs are available for what cost and what reason change depending on the post--scam? Consistently they are a couple of weeks old. In one ad, one is male the other two are female. In another ad one is male (black and white) the other is female. (black, brown and white)

LISTING REMOVED Eatontown, NJ: This CL post was made by a foster parent volunteering with the Monmouth County SPCA in Eatontown, NJ. Because the piggy in question, the darling Ben, is not at the shelter, use the ad's email address to find out about adoption information.

Ben is two years old and quite striking. The poor guy is in between homes for a classically sad piggy reason, and Ben is the one to suffer. His foster parent seems quite fond of him though, so this boy seems like a keeper to the true animal lover.

LISTING REMOVED Northern New Jersey, NJ: Three guinea pigs being kept in a tank and therefore squalor. Guinea pigs need to be kept in a cage with proper ventilation. Three males, come with food, water dish, some food (double check if it's appropriate on GuineaLynx), and clean bedding. Small adoption fee. Say "no tanks!" to this poster (groan).


LISTING REMOVED Browns Mills, NJ: Two bonded three month old sisters. Daughters of a missexed petstore couple. Very reasonable adoption fee includes cage and accessories. Will screen, must be adopted together.
ETA:

LISTING REMOVED Hazlet, NJ: For small donation boar available for adoption, comes with cage, water bottle, toys three month supply of food (hay?), email for more information and to set an appointment. The guinea pig has not been handled too much and will nibble, but in my experience most guinea pigs come around with some TLC

NJ-North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue-Three New Pigs

Due to increased time commitments, I am no longer going to be able to update past entries of some of the larger rescues such as Have-A-Heart and NJGPHR. Once a week or so I will update the herd of the respective rescues.

North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue, NJ: Furby, Boris, and Mikey II! These are the latest three guinea pigs I've neglected to post; please find the entire NJGPHR brood linked to at the bottom of the entry.



Furby is one and a half years old, and has been in the rescue since mid-January. He is friendly and well socialized to people. He would make a good friend to a boy pig or spayed sow you have at home, or could go home with a friend he made in rescue.



Boris is a senior boy (six and a half years) who is not presently available for adoptioon. He is going through a rigorous series of treatments for bumblefoot, and so the rescue is asking for donations toward his veterinary and general care. "Please help to give Boris some peace and comfort in his old age!"



Mikey II is one and a half years old. He is friendly and well socialized to people. He would be well matched with a lonely baby male pig, or he could be adopted as a single pig. Contact the rescue for more information on adopting Mikey II.

Fernando & ADOPTED! Lucinda & ADOPTED! Versace & Lucy & Bobby & Solomon & Robby & Gandolf and Pumpkin & Ushi & ADOPTED! Miranda & Max & Aragorn & Tina & Nicky II & Furby & Boris & Mikey II .

PA-Paws 2 Learn-special baby boy

Paws 2 Learn, PA: ADOPTED! Buzz!


Buzzy-boy is a favorite at the rescue it seems. He arrived with all of his fur shaved off (no explanation given, but poor boy!). His fur is growing back and he seems to be an abby. He is very adorable, "has an exceptional personality," and "makes an unusually deep purring noise when you pet him!" He is full of energy, and so will be perfectly suited for the C&C cages that are now the gold standard for guinea pigs. Like a lot of pigs who have had a hard past, he now loves and craves a great deal of attention. Adopt him and a friend too!

NY-Lollypop Farm in Fairport-baby girl

Lollypop Farm in Fairport, NY: LISTING REMOVED. Rainbow!


I'm not sure if Rainbow is still available, as she is only on Petfinder and not on the Lollypop Guild website. But she is a small baby himi girl who is vocal and needs someone to help her with learning to trust people. She also appears to be a sports fan!

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!
