VA-Craiglist-Bonded Seniors

LISTING EXPIRED. Alexandria, VA: Shockingly, two teenagers have lost interest in their guinea pigs. The family is now forced to find homes for two four year old pigs. I hope they have better luck than the overflowing shelters and rescues! Guinea pigs are described as "cute."

MD-Craigslist-One year old guinea pig

POST REMOVED. Hampden, MD: Disregard nearly everything this ad says. Seriously. Living breathing beings are not good gifts. They don't teach responsibility. If a kid fails that lesson the guinea pig winds up dead, in the pound, or being rehomed over and over again with inadequate caretakers. One year old friendly guinea pig being dumped for fr33.

VA-Cave Spring Piggie Rescue-New Piggies

Cave Spring Piggie Rescue has a whole bunch of cavies available for adoption, some I haven't featured yet, others I have. Please visit their website or browse this site to see their other pigs.

LISTING REMOVED. Tina is a very sweet spayed girl, two years old. She is a brown and white American, quiet and used to being handled.




LISTING REMOVED. Sadie and Chester have had a hard time of it. These pigs were in a faux-forever home for two years before returning to the rescue. I would guess from the listing that they didn't have the best time with their adoptive parents. Now they need a real forever home. It's going to be a special home that's allowed to adopt these two. Deceiving a rescue about your ability to care for animals is despicable. Sadie and Chester are a well bonded pair--Sadie is outgoing and sweet, Chester is sweet also, but not as outgoing. They are three years old, and Sadie is spayed.

LISTING REMOVED. Percy sounds very cute. He is a four month old red abby boy. Cave Spring quite literally saved his life, as well as the next boy I'm listing. Their owner bought the two boys to the vet to have them euthanized. No, the boys weren't sick. They were just too much for the owner to care for. So he dropped them of to die. Luckily the vet cvontacted Cave Springs, and they were able to rescue the piggies. Both he and Remus (below) need a special adopter. They are shy and not quite socialized to people. Understandably!

LISTING REMOVED. Remus shares the same bio as Percy, above, except he is a chocolate American.




It's a hard knock bunch right now. These pigs really need the love of a forever home.

VA-Animal Welfare League of Arlington-two more pigs

The Animal Welfare League of Arlington already has three guinea pigs available for adoption, some of whom have been around for a surprisingly long time considering their adorability factor. Two more have just been listed, and they too have the Virginia charm. You can find them on this page by scrolling down.

LISTING REMOVED. Isis is a one year old piggie girl. She is such a cute girl! Hopefully you can tell from her photo here, but it looks like her feet are white. Adorable, and eases the nail trimming process!


LISTING REMOVED. Peter is a very handsome piggy guy. He's one year old as well, and looks extremely lovable from his photo.

FLAGGED FOR REMOVAL. Alexandria, VA: Two male guinea pigs need a new home, as their owner is moving to a place that does not allow animals. T'sall he wrote.
