MD-Chesapeake Bay Guinea Pig Rescue

Chesapeake Guinea Pig Rescue is a small foster based network, but their guinea pigs are big and cuddly!


LISTING REMOVED.Alfred and PJ are two of those big and cuddly guineas. PJ is the one in the middle and Alfred is the guinea pig on the right. They are best friends who love to eat. Alfred and PJ are gentle, kind, and love lap time. They sound so sweet from the rest of their description as well. Definitely worth a look.



LISTING REMOVED.Mikey and Cal are two wonderfully happy boys. Cal has very soft fur and a little fur tail-these are so cute. They are obviously very beloved by their fosterers, who describe them like they're dream guineas. They are popcorners and very affectionate. These poor guys are listed as special needs because they have deep scratches which have healed. CBCPR thinks the wounds came from the family cat. Though the wounds are healed, the guinea pigs are still a bit hesitant with people. It sounds like they really deserve a patient, loving forever home.



ADOPTED! Panda and Buster are a sow and boar, respectively. Panda has an especially sad past. Their petfinder bio reads as follows: Panda is a bit camera shy, so she tried to hide UNDER Buster. This pose surprised all three of us. Panda is a gorgeous black and white teddy furball (who looks just like her namesake), while Buster is a handsome white and brown agouti dutch-colored smooth-coated neutered boy. Panda was rescued from the side of an Eastern Shore highway, while Buster was surrendered to a local animal control facility. Panda is a bundle of energy with a bright and happy personality. She is the first one to push her way to the food, and purrs readily when petted. Buster is shy until he comes to know you, but enjoys being stroked and having his nose scratched. He's a purr-bucket when you find just the right spot. They would benefit from a home where they have lots of caring, gentle attention from their people.

What a gorgeous couple!




They also have two babies in their rescue. LISTING REMOVED. Pippin and Linus (ADOPTED!) are four week old cagemates. They could be adopted together, or one would work with an older boar without resulting in dominance issues (The rescue says they could also be adopted alone). They don't have photos, but at four weeks old how could they not be adorable? Pippin is a red and white dutch guinea, and Linus is described as a "crazy-colored short haired piggie with a collar that stands up straight (he looks as though he has a mohawk)."
