MD-Small Angels Animal Rescue-New(ish) Piggies!

You know your Guinea Pig Adoption website is getting old when: pigs you've featured in the shelters wind up in the rescues, looking all adorable and familiar.

Small Angels Animal Rescue
has a bunch of new piggies, many of whom have already made their debuts on these pages. Cheers to Small Angels for giving them a second chance at getting a forever home, and for helping them out of the over-crowded shelter environment.

ADOPTED! Nyle is a cutie PEW boy who first debuted as a girl named Rose. He was dropped at Petco, then wound up at the shelter where he was missexed (easy mistake to make--trust me). Nyle has been treated for mites and has been neutered, and he's ready for adoption! He is a happy, gentle piggie looking for a piggie friend.


ADOPTED! Sorrel first debuted as a girl named Abby. He was found in a field, went next to the shelter, and is now with Small Angels, where he has been neutered. He is a handsome boy looking for piggie company.






ADOPTED! Lorenzo is a beautiful DEW (dark eyed white) with lilac points. He's very handsome! I believe we know him from his former life as Bob. Poor Lorenzo was found by a dumpster and then went to the animal shelter as a stray. Now the lucky guy has been neutered (maybe he doesn't feel so lucky about that part :P), and is happy in foster care while waiting for his forever home and a piggie pal.


ADOPTED! Ivor and Kofi are the only two I don't recognize, and I would think I'd remember such cute faces! They are originally from a shelter though--their family surrendered them because one family member was allergic to them.

You can tell them apart because Kofi has a slightly shredded ear--the bio purports the theory that it's because when guineas are in cages before being put on display in a pet store, it's often too crowded, and they chew on each other due to stress. I have a piggie who has a nibbled on ear for this very reason. Poor Kofi! this bonded pair is very cute, playful, and fun. They sound like a perfect pair!



LISTING REMOVED. Danyel and Fagan are two of my favorites who have appeared on this blog, so I'm very glad to see they're safe. They first appeared as Zane and Zeke. They've both been neutered, and must be adopted together. They were surrendered to the local animal shelter and their former owners did not provide a reason.

But Small Angels knows from their time in foster care that they are cuddly boys who love zoomies. They're vocal and they love to eat. Sounds like a good pair for someone with a vegetable garden!
