NY-EUTHANIZATION ALERT-DESPERATE CALL FOR HELP

GUINEA PIGS SAFE AND ALWAYS WERE! READ UPDATE here.


FIVE DAYS until fifteen guinea pigs in upstate New York are euthanized. Now that a college br33ding program has ended, the pigs are going to be killed on Wednesday, the twelfth of December.

Any help is desperately needed. Foster homes, adopters, financial or material donations, donations of time, transporting a pig to a safe home, etc.

All fifteen of these Pink Eyed Whites (PEW)s, though lab animals, have been handled daily and are friendly.

The school in question is SUNY Delhi, a small college in the Catskills Mountains of New York. It's website is here: http://www.delhi.edu.

For any questions or offers of help, please either leave a comment, email me at Adoptaguineapig @ gmail.com (remove spaces), or visit this thread on Guinea Lynx: here.

PLEASE HELP KEEP THESE DEFENSELESS,
INNOCENT ANIMALS FROM BEING KILLED!

VA-Event-Frederick County Animal Shelter

So this blog does not endorse or affiliate with any religion(s), but I did want to share an event that sounded neat with you all. Please don't think that by doing so I wish to encourage worshiping anything other than animal safety.

Frederick County Animal Shelter
is having a "Christmas at the Shelter" this Saturday, from 11 AM to 2 PM. A ceremony will be held to bless the animals, and you are encouraged to bring your own (I don't think this would be a guinea pig's scene though, or an animal with a vulnerable immune system).

To quote from their website:

COME SEE THE NEW FACILITY, ENJOY REFRESHMENTS,
VISIT WITH AND POSSIBLY ADOPT AN ANIMAL.

FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO BRING GIFTS FOR THE SHELTER ANIMALS, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WOULD BE APPRECIATED:

CANNED DOG AND CAT FOOD, BIRD FOOD (COCKATIEL, ETC.), DISPOSABLE CAT TOYS, DOG TOYS, SOLID RAW HIDE CHEWS, BLANKETS, TOWELS, CLEAN CARPET (CUT INTO 12 INCH SQUARES), SHOE BOXES, PINE SOL, CLOROX AND PAPER TOWELS.

Have fun if you go, and tell us about it in the comment section!
