MD-Small Angels Rescue-New Pigs!

Small Angels Rescue; Foster homes in Northern MD: Nanette and Sabella, ADOPTED! Pascal and Raoul, ADOPTED! Makayla and Zoe, Anekka and Mariel!

UPDATE:

*NEW* Nanette and Sabella are an absolutely gorgeous mother and daughter pair who were recently returned to the rescue due to their former adopter's allergies. They're both very "sweet and friendly" girls, and Nanette, the smaller of the two, has grown since the photo was taken. Sabella is 2 y.o. and Nanette is 11 months old. "Nanette is very agile (for a piggy!) and likes to hop up and sit on top of her house."


*NEW* Pascal and Raoul are 2 month old brothers who were born in the rescue on May 5th. Raoul is on the right and Pascal is on the left in their photo. They were born to a mother from a sad case; she had been living outside on a farm in a "small overcrowded cage" and she was already close to delivery. Soon after being rescued she gave birth to five pigs, including these two. They love popcorning and playing hide and seek/chase/tag in the hay in their cage! With time they will calm down and love lap time as much as floor time.



Makayla and Zoe are just the most gorgeous pair of bonded adult (2 y.o.) female guineas. Makayla is that ball of teddy fuzz on the right, and Zoe is the pretty girl on the left. Zoe is a bit scared of being picked up, but does enjoy lap time. They came to the rescue from the local animal shelter; their children were no longer taking care of them and so they were surrendered. They love their daily veggies and romping around in their hay.

Can we get a close up please?













Thank you.


Anneka and Mariel are bonded sisters who have lived together since they were abandoned when young. They've now only been surrendered to the rescue because of their care-giver's bad allergies. How sad for everyone involved. Annika is the lovely girl on the left. They both have beautiful dark eyes and are "sweet and cuddly." They love their veggies, occasional fruits, and now really need a family "who will treat them gently and love them forever."

* AAGP recommends quarantining any new guinea pigs
for 2-3 weeks and confirming the sex yourself.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
