South Jersey: Bonded x-large males being rehomed after being rescued from "being sold as food." They have been socialized for two months and are now used to people and other pets, are very vocal, and have kid experience. Separate from this post, but I've always wanted a chance to link to this article: ("What is Rescuing and Adopting?" ). A rescuer shouldn't have to pay for the animals they rescue. In a capitalist society, that only fuels more abuse. Please consider other avenues when faced with animal cruelty.


Lyndhurst, NJ: Male guinea pig being rehomed due to not enough time. Comes with cage (try Cheaper, Better Cages ), food dish, water bottle, and bedding.

* AAGP recommends quarantining any new guinea pigs

for 2-3 weeks and confirming the sex yourself.

Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *

These pigs are a happy four years old. Romeo is an abby pig, and Daphne is white with brown. They are well bonded and have been with each other for at least three years. They love veggies and have been fed on a great diet so far. Keep it up: Proper Diet!

Aston (Philadelphia), PA: Two friendly bonded males being rehomed and housed on TOXIC CEDAR BEDDING. See appropriate Bedding. Peanut is the lighter pig, and is calmer, extremely friendly, and is very well socialized. Popeye is the darker pig, is just as friendly, but a bit more active.



York, PA: Two six month old girls being rehomed due to owner having a baby. Come with cage, bedding, food, toys. Owner willing to transport to Southern PA, Northern MD and within reason.


Hatboro (Philadelphia), PA: Two 1.5 y.o sisters being rehomed due to children losing interest. Calico colored, one is an abby, the other has "silky short hair." Though they are a bit skittish due to not being held much, they do not bite. They are "very sweet" when they are held.


LISTING REMOVED Pittsburgh (South Hills), PA: Two female guinea pigs being rehomed due to move. Come with cage, house, water bottle, food bowl, wooden chew toys, food (pellets and alfalfa) and any left over bedding. "Very sweet and vocal," enjoy floor time. Very bonded, must be adopted together.


Elizabeth (Pittsburgh), PA: 8 month old female shorthair guinea pig being rehomed due to lack of attention. Comes with DANGEROUS CAGE-wire floored cages cause bumblefoot, water bottle, food, bedding, other accessories. Also vitamin drops (don't put these in the water, that's a guinea pig myth-they're not water soluble so they stop working after about five minutes and then the water just tastes bad. Reduced water consumption leads to a host of other problems. And what will a non-Cavy Savvy Vet often diagnose and then prescribe? Scurvy, and vitamin C drops!


Philadelphia, PA: Bonded males Peanut and Cocoa being rehomed due to owner transitioning to college.

Old Bethpage (Long Island), NY: As I said with our last yard sale guinea pig, this is just setting up for a disastrous impulse buy. "Guinea Pig w. cage and accessories " Garage Sale - Saturday Only - July 26th - 10am to 4pm


Do me a favor, dear reader, if you are near this neighborhood but aren't able to save the guinea pig yourself, could you print out and place a GuineaLynx Care Guide near the cage (with permission)? And make sure s/he's not out in the sun? If the guinea pig is, try and convince the owners to put him inside, perhaps with a sign saying there's a guinea pig indoors. Failing that, move piggy into the shade.

Farmingville (Long Island), NY: Tan/white guinea pig (Boy or Girl? ), 8 months old, comes with cage, water bottle, food dish, and some toys. Must be picked up by the 24th or poster is taking the pig back to the petstore. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Never take a guinea pig back to a petstore for rehoming; they do no screening (just whoever can pay for the pig) and will often give returned guinea pigs away for free to anyone who wants them. Sn@ke owners are aware of which stores that do this; major chains are among them.

Watertown, NY: Guinea pig (Boy or Girl?)being rehomed due to too many pets and child losing interest.

Albany, NY: Three year old male guinea pig, "a huge lover, he cuddles and is very well behaved." Being rehomed due to other pets (kittens) being too interested in him. Comes with cage, water bottle and food dish.


LISTING REMOVED Staten Island, NY: 1 y.o. guinea pig comes with cage, food, toys, "very handsome and lots of fun." Guessing male? Named Cashis/Cash. Being rehomed due to move. Wants to find an adopter with guinea pig experience.

Massapequa Park (Long Island), NY: 1o month old friendly male guinea pig (mainly brown, some white) being rehomed due to son losing interest and mom no longer wanting to care for him. Comes with "everything you need." I would recommend at the very least Cheaper, Better Cages.

Suffolk (Long Island), NY: Three female guinea pigs being rehomed due to owner losing her job. Adopter must provide food and bedding. Come with cages, water bottle, and other accessories. 2 y.o. guinea pig by herself (Guinea Pigs need a friend!

Corning (Elmira), NY: 1 y.o. unsexed guinea pig (Boy or Girl?) being rehomed due to son losing interest after rescuing guinea pig "from horrible conditions." Guinea pig is friendly, quiet, with short calico hair. Adopter with guinea pig experience preferred. Comes with food, Timothy hay, treats, cage, water bottle, and pine bedding (make sure it's kiln dried).


Syracuse, NY: 1.5 y.o. male guinea pig being rehomed due to lack of time, needs help being socialized to people. Poster would prefer him to go to a rescue. Guinea pigs can be socialized pretty easily to a caring individual who has patience and time. Registering with GuineaLynx and posting on the forums for help is a good way to get tips. Comes with cage, litter (hopefully Bedding), and food.

PA-Adams County SPCA-Three small adult males

Adams County SPCA; Gettysburg, PA: Peanut and Brothers Chuck, Albuquerque and ADOPTED! Filmore!

*NEW* Peanut is a poor piggy! Her owner passed away, and eventually she found herself at the shelter. She is a very sweet girl, in need of a forever home and some love.



Chuck (first pictured) Albuquerque (second pictured) and Filmore (third pictured pictured) are three brothers who were surrendered to the shelter when their owner could no longer care for them. The three of them were purchased at auction then given to their owners, who never really wanted them in the first place. Please see the links below for helpful care tips. Their bio also offers helpful information. GUINEA PIG LESSON: If an animal is a gift it should be consensual. The surprise animal gift rarely works well for any parties involved (allergies, vet costs, ongoing costs, interest, space, life changes, etc.).
