Easton (Allentown), PA: Female guinea pig being rehomed due to not getting along with her cage mate (if you're having a similar issue but want to keep trying, see Social Life). Crested, medium haired American. Comes with cage, water bottle, and food. "Great with people and loves attention."

Philadelphia, PA: Male guinea pig being homed with cage. The cage is the size espoused by br33ders and petstores looking to turn a profit by keeping a smaller product on their shelves in order to stock (and sell) more. Informed pet owners and rescuers endorse and use these cages: Cheaper, Larger Cages. Comes with timothy hay, bedding, guinea pig book (unless it's animal planet or adult's guide it's outdated and inaccurate), pigloo, tunnel, brush, water bottle.




LISTING REMOVED Garnet Valley (Philadelphia), PA: Tricolor 9 month old male guinea pig (brown/black/white) being rehomed due to move. "Very sweet...doesn't bite." Socialized to people and used to children. Comes with cage, water bottle, food, and bedding. DANGEROUS: rolling balls (can break the bones in foot/spine, are fatal, should only be used for gerbils) and vitamin C drops IF USED IN THE WATER because they are not water soluble. After five minutes they aren't effective any more, and they leave the water tasting bad. Reduced water consumption causes a host of medical issues in guinea pigs. (And guess what a non-Cavy Savvy Vet might prescribe? Vitamin C drops for scurvy. Ouch. Look to a Proper Diet instead for vitamin C sources).

LISTING REMOVED Hershey (Harrisburg), PA: One year old male guinea pig being rehomed due to lack of time. Comes with cage, bedding, food, toys, food bowl, water bottle, pigloo.






LISTING REMOVED Lancaster, PA: Beautiful Bella! Two year old female guinea pig named Bella being rehomed due to allergies. Poster clearly loves her pig and has had her since she was a baby. Bella "loves to be out of her cage and play." She comes with her cage, treats, food, and water bottle. Guinea pigs' average lifespan is 5-7, 9+, oldest lived to 12 years.

HAPPY ADOPTION STORY!

A hearty congratulations offered to the Adopters and Adoptees of this latest...

HAPPY ADOPTION STORY!

Abigail, Bevo, Junie and Spaetzle were adopted from the Have-A-Heart Guinea Pig Rescue, a fabulous rescue that has hundreds of guinea pigs available for adoption in DE, PA, and NJ. This rescue has wonderful foster families, and is always looking for more!

Abigail, Bevo, Junie and Spaetzle came to the rescue in two pairs from a local shelter, and all four were delivered to the director in a box :( . Somehow they were getting along great! So the four were posted together on Petfinder (with the option to be adopted in pairs). They are such great proof of how happy guinea pigs are in groups. Just look at their faces and how smushed together these girls are; they became best friends in rescue!

Luckily, in their adoptive homes all four get to stick together! They were adopted by the people who knew them best, their foster momma and poppa. When foster poppa heard that someone was interested in adopting two of the girls, he said "My girls are not going anywhere!"

A little background on these beautiful girls:

The girls are so bonded you can't tell who came in with whom, but it does
seem like Abigail and Spaetz are sisters, since their faces are so similar.
Junie is the only abby and all the other girls are crested. They love their
cozies and are so happy in their new (old!) forever home!

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!

UPDATE:

How neat is this? Their momma immortalized the girls in sculpy!

Comes with cage, timothy hay, food, food bowl, water bottle, cage liners, vitamins for his water bottle (NEVER use these-they're not water soluble.

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.
