Lollypop Farm in Fairport, NY: Sylvia, Nutterbutters, Flash, and Satch!
Once again, proof that I'm not lying when I say the Lollypop Guild gets some of the most precious GPs in the country:
LISTING REMOVED. Sylvia is--a girl, and that's all they're saying!
LISTING REMOVED. Nutterbutters is a one year old female:
LISTING REMOVED. Flash is an eight month old male:
LISTING REMOVED. Satch is a one year old one month male:
GUINEA PIG LESSON: Satch has a very beautiful element to his fur called roaning. One of many reasons why I'm against br33ding (and why this blog does not support br33ding), is because if a roan pig is br3d with with a roan pig (or if a dal pig, another br33d, is br3d with a dal pig), there is a one in four chance a lethal pig will be born. Lethal pigs are very, very special needs, if they live more than a few days. Please don't ever br33d your pigs, as there is a high chance of fatality for the mother. But if you have a pig with white fur and some black spots (a dal pig), or black markings such as Satch, please, please don't br33d them. Your pig may create a blind, deaf pig with no teeth who relies on you for care. And with so many hundreds of homeless pigs, why br33d in the first place?
GUINEA PIG LESSON FOR ME! Thank you to a friend of mine on GuineaLynx who pointed out a very significant error in the above lesson. Roaning is not just black mixed through with white, but any color mixed through with white in a similar pattern to Satch's. Thank you GL friend! GL is a place where you continually learn more and more about GPigs. I encourage anyone who has guinea pigs, or is considering getting guinea pigs, to join.

PA/NJ-Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue-Hundreds of pigs
Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue, PA/NJ/DE: Many guinea pigs!
I'll level with you. Since returning to AAGP, I have been spending less time on the blogs, and much less time on updating old links to say when a guinea pig has been adopted or a listing has been removed. It's really hard to keep up with all the pigs of H-a-H, as they have so many tremendously wonderful guinea pigs, so I'm going to have to throw in the towel with updating their old links. Instead every week or so I'll just do a new status update of who is where. Hope that works out for everyone. And sorry for you Delaware folk, but once they cross that state line, they're out of my jurisdiction.

Life Long Tails, NY: ADOPTED! Gracie!
Gracie is an absolutely beautiful girl guinea who is a year to a year and half old. She is a quick mover who was surrendered due to allergies. She wishes to be adopted with Lona (who I imagine will be posted shortly). By the by, her eyes aren't actually red, that's just the flash on the rescue's camera.

A New Leash on Life, NY: ADOPTED! Milo and Biscuits!
Two very bonded boys who need you to fill their bowl and get them in a larger cage! They are described in their bio as the very "best of buddies." What confuses me as they're listed under the Petfinder categories as "adults," but it says they're five years old. Maybe they mean five months? Because five years is solidly senior. I'm putting them down as both senior and young. Including this note from their bio: "When writing about one of our pets, please include your location as we do have distance restrictions and they vary depending on the pet's needs."

NJ-Bergen County Animal Shelter-Adult Male
Bergen County Animal Shelter, NJ: WITH A RESCUE! Kirri!
Kirri Boy:
Let me quote the bio: "Kirri was turned in because the family's ferret wasn't getting along with him. He seems friendly." THE HELL? You mean the ferret wasn't trying to EAT HIM? If this guinea pig is friendly after an attempted bonding with a ferret and then being dumped in a shelter, I'd say you have a winner and a keeper. Rescue this boy and give him a forever home.
