MD-Small Angels-Young Abby Boar

Small Angels Rescue; Foster network stemming outward from Frederick, MD: ADOPTED! Bartolo! FAVORITE PIGGY AWARD!

Bartolo is one of my favorite piggies, hence the award. I've seen him knock around different photos on the shelter website and I'm so happy he's now with a rescue. I'd be so happy to see him with an "Adopted!" label.

He was rescued from the shelter where his family had surrendered him because they had no time for him. Poor Bartolo! He is a neutered ginger and white Abby boy, which means he could be boyfriend to your girl!

"He is shy and requires gentle handling, but once on your lap, he enjoys a cuddle." This boy deserves the most loving of forever fomes. Good luck Bartolo!

SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW PIGS

March is National
Adopt a Guinea Pig Month!

Celebrate it by doing just that! Providing you have the resources and preparation to bring a guinea pig (and a friend) into your home--April's okay too :) (It doesn't have to be the cruelest month after all).

Our beautiful guinea model is a beloved guinea girl from GuineaLynx named Meimei. Her person is a beloved GuineaLynx member named Cutemomomi. Meimei has passed over the Rainbow Bridge, but she will never be forgotten. If you would like to learn more about the wonderful life Meimei lived with Cutemomomi, and her wonderful guinea pals, it is chronicled here, here and here. Thank you Momo for permission to use her dear girl's image.

LISTING REMOVED Reston, VA: A petstore missexing leads to three baby piggies needing forever homes--two males and one female. This post really seems like someone using CL as the potentially great tool it can be for rehoming homeless, unwanted, or wanted but sadly unwelcome pets. There is a reasonable adoption fee.



The babies are "healthy and playful, and have been handled daily by children. Both parents are tame and friendly." The posters hope that the two boys could be rehomed together, and that the girls could be rehomed with another girl pig. "These are social animals and [they] do well in same-sex groups."

IMPORTANT PARAGRAPH: "We were told by the pet store these were two females and found out the mistake too late! The store offered to take them, but they will charge $30, and I'd rather not see them profit from a careless mistake. Veterinary care for small animals is expensive. Neutering this surprise boar was $275." Make sure you have a trained exotics vet do the procedure. You can do some price comparing, but you may find a higher price for a neuter will be worth peace of mind of a vet you trust. Watch the site of the surgery for up to a year and a half for abscess.


Here is the whole family; the mother and father will not be rehomed as they are attached to the family and vice versa.

Roanoke Valley SPCA; VA: ADOPTED! Mom and Babies and ADOPTED! Paula!



Momma apparently had some babies with no warning on March 2nd. This really can happen--keep a careful eye on your guineas. And if you bought guineas from a petstore, there are high anecdotal odds that they might be pregnant, have mites, or a URI. As for these pups, be armed with this link: Boy or Girl?

Paula is a one year old young short hair girl who is shy and needs a loving home, willing to give her time to learn to love them back. And one that will give her feed without corn in it--shelters do what they can, and it makes for a great reason to donate a bag of Oxbow to the local humane society!

LISTING REMOVED Upper Marlboro, MD: Another Christmas purchase to Craigslist posting. Two guinea pigs being rehomed sex not specified. Since they came from the petstore, you will probably want to double check the sex anyway. One pig is white with black and orange, and the other one is brown and looks like a squirrel (maybe a teddy?). They are being rehomed due to the present owners being unable to commit to the amount of work associated with guinea pigs.

They come with a TV hutch the deluxe cage sits in, as well as a large number of toys, trinkets, grooming supplies, treats, play pens, carrying bags, sleeping bags, etc. Bad news for the poster, a large number of these things are probably either completely ignored by the pigs, or toxic for them. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Guinea pigs are perfectly happy playing with a cardboard box or toilet paper roll (sans toilet paper), or a crumpled up paper bag. The pet stores create toys that either have small metal parts, or toxic materials in the "edible" toys, for a profit, when the best guinea pig toys can be found for free in your home!

MD-Chesapeake Bay Guinea Pig Rescue-New pigs

Chesapeake Bay Guinea Pig Rescue; Annapolis, MD: Tyler, Noah & Jack, and Onyx and Skye!

Tyler, Noah and Jack are three very sweet young brothers who were surrendered to animal control because their owners could no longer afford to keep them. They are initially skittish, but calm and friendly once they are bing held. They love hay and carrots (which should only be fed on occasion). They are quickly fitting in with the rest of the pigs at the rescue. CBGPR is willing to adopt out two of the pigs, and find a friend for the remaining third pig.



Onyx and Skye are beautiful girls, with shiny black hair with white accents. They were also surrendered to Animal Control. They are very healthy and bright, and very self assured. They are the leaders of their herd. The girls are about four months old. "Onyx has a white band on her shoulder and a blaze on her chest, and Skye has a white stripe on her nose with bands of white and cream on her side. They love their Timothy hay and carrots, but haven't figured out leafy greens yet. These sisters would benefit greatly from some one-on-one tender loving care in a forever home."
