NY-Tails of Grace Animal Rescue-two young females

Tails of Grace Animal Rescue; Plattsburgh, NY: LISTING REMOVED Susan and LISTING REMOVED Lola! Both small young females. Considering that they're pictured together, it seems like they could be adopted together, or might even be bonded.

NJ-North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue-Bonded adult male and single adult male

North Jersey Guinea Pig and Hamster Rescue; Budd Lake, NJ: Nibbler and Little Pig, and Search!

Nibbler and Little Pig have been in the rescue since late May, when they were surrendered because of allergies. Nibbler is a black american pig, about 1.5 years old, and Little Pig is also a black american, but with a white stripe down his nose (cute!). Little Pig is about three years old. They are bonded and get along great, and so should be adopted together.

Search is a good looking 1.5 y.o. black american piggie boy with white markings. He was also surrendered because of allergies in late May. He's not used to being handled and so is pretty skittish, but with some TLC he should settle at least a bit. He should make a great friend to a lonely male, or could be adopted as a single.

NY-Guinea Lynx Placement-5 m.o. male and 5 y.o. male

New York City, NY: Alfie is an adorable five month old male guinea pig who was abandoned in a vacant lot with his brother and sister (now in foster care). He's been fixed right up from the poor thin pig he was that day, and now he is a social, vocal, friendly boy! He even lets you pet his belly and responds to his own name!

Viejo is five years old, and other than some graying hair and a cataract in one eye, he's a healthy guy. He's very sweet, a cuddler, and an active jumper at floor time. He's a heart stealer too (you'll get the idea once you see his photo). He was surrendered to a local shelter, but was obviously cared for at his previous home. "He's a big sweet puff, and you'll love him."

LISTING REMOVED Harrisburg (Enola), PA: Peanut Butter is a four month old female guinea pig, white with tan spots, who is being rehomed due to allergies. She is timid due to not being picked up in her current home, but that should change once she's used to getting loved on all the time. She is used to other guineas and being housed in a cage like the one on this page: http://www.guineapigcages.com/howto.htm .

LISTING REMOVED Leola (Lancaster), PA: 15 guinea pigs being rehomed, a herd explosion as a result of a missexing. The guinea pigs range from three days to one year old. Guinea pigs are brown and white, largely, some are black, brown and white. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Here's how to sex a guinea pig: Boy or Girl?. Boys need to be separated from girls IMMEDIATELY at the 21 day mark, or else they will impregnate the girls. No fertile boys (21 days or older) can be in the cage with a pregnant female, or else she will be reimpregnated immediately after giving birth (i.e. back br3d). There is a 20% of death from br33ding for the mother.

LISTING REMOVED Norristown (Philadelphia), PA: Nice Cuddly male guinea pig being rehomed. Used to children. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Vitamin drops do not go in the water. They aren't water soluble so after about five minutes they just make the water taste bad and the vitamins have stopped working.

LISTING REMOVED Chalfont (Philadelphia), PA: Two male guinea pigs being rehomed due to a move. Both sweet, "healthy." One long hair, one short hair. They're bonded and used to children. Come with some accessories. Cheaper, Larger Cages.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE Murray Hill (Manhattan), NY: Baby female guinea pig being rehomed due to allergies. Comes with bedding, food, water bottle, food bowl, timothy hay and 2X2.5 C&C cage (needs to be at least a 2x3 for 1 pig, 2x4 for 2 pigs). Poster wants her to go to a home with other girl guinea friends or at least guinea pig experience.


NO LONGER AVAILABLE Bronx, NY: 6-9 month old guinea pig being rehomed. Well socialized to people. GUINEA PIG LESSON: "I bath[e] her once every week and a half," this is unnecessary and scary for the pig. A guinea pig that is in a cage of adequate size being changed regularly should not smell, which is why most people think they need to bathe guinea pigs. They are self cleaning animals. "She's very friendly."


LISTING REMOVED Clifton Park (Albany), NY: Guinea pig girl being rehomed due to dog. She is a cuddler and is well socialized to people. The guinea pig is white and brownish/reddish. She loves apples and timothy hay (A Proper Diet does include apples, unlimited hay, but emphasizes veggies while fruits are just treats).

LISTING REMOVED Beacon (Hudson Valley), NY: Adult male guinea pig named Coco being rehomed due to lack of time. Lavender and ginger long haired with ruby eyes. "Very healthy...great lap pet." The posters will screen and are open to answering any questions.


LISTING REMOVED Syracuse, NY: Three male guinea pigs "rescued...from an auction" now being rehomed because "I would love to keep them, but I can't have all 3, and I really want a rabbit, lol." The poster has been wonderful in seeing them through their health issues, but here's a great link on the economical implications of patronizing auctions, petstores, and br33ders with the mindset of rescuing them.

The guinea pigs are under a year old. The guinea pigs "are very mellow," enjoy to pet, and are purrers. I can't quite follow the descriptions, so here's the quote: "There is a tri-colored curly and a med. hair, and a black and white with a spot of brown long haired. It looks as though they had matts and their hair was cut, so it should come in long."

LISTING REMOVED Leroy (Rochester), NY: Seven year old male living together with a one year old female. "Live together as male is too old to br33d." GUINEA PIG LESSON: The only way to guarantee a guinea pig cannot reproduce is to spay or neuter her or him. Old guinea pigs can certainly reproduce so I'm issuing a PREGNANCY WATCH. Female is chocolate and light brown. Male is white/black/orange. Come with open cage, poster says it's only suitable for a home with no other pets. Also try Cheaper, Larger Cages. Comes with all food and bedding.


NO LONGER AVAILABLE Ft. Drum (Watertown), NY: Two bonded guinea pigs (Boy or Girl? PREGNANCY WATCH) being rehomed because child has lost interest. Come with cage and pigloo for reasonable rehoming fee.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE Cranford, Central NJ: Friendly, short-haired female available for adoption. Poster describes her as "Healthy [and] colorful...doesn't appear to be senior" (age otherwise unknown). She was rescued from a bad situation by the poster without the intention of keeping her long term. She comes with her cage, water bottle, book on guinea pig care (unless it's this or this it is probably not worth while), hay, left over food, and vitamins for her water which you should never use. They are not water soluble and dissolve after five minutes, leaving the water tasting bad and the guinea pig drinking less. The guinea pig should get her vitamin C from a Proper Diet.

LISTING REMOVED Union County, Central NJ: Three year old male texel (long curly hair) guinea pig needs rehoming due to move. "Very sweet" and vocal, well socialized to people. Comes with all supplies. Pictures available by request.
