VA-Loudoun County Animal Shelter-Herd Update, three bonded pairs

Loudoun County Animal Shelter; VA: LISTING REMOVED Blackbeard and Pinky, LISTING REMOVED. Mo and Squeaker, LISTING REMOVED. Patches and Sunday, and LISTING REMOVED. Oreo!



Blackbeard and Pinky arrived at the shelter because they weren't allowed at their previous owner's college dorm. This is always a big worry when big pet stores spring up near colleges (not to assume these pigs came from a store). They're loads of fun and very bonded. I'm assuming Blackbeard is the one on the right, and if so, best name (and one of the best pigs) ever. I bet her owner was majoring in Pirate Studies. They're both girls.

LISTING REMOVED. Mo (pictured first) and Squeaker (pictured second) are bonded sisters and described as "cute, cuddly and fun!" They are one year old.




LISTING REMOVED. Patches and Sunday are eight month old bonded boars. They were surrendered because their owner could no longer take care of them, and now they are waiting eagerly for their forever home!

LISTING REMOVED. Oreo has a great bio so I'm going to quote it here: " I'm a fun little guinea pig looking for a new home. I came to the Shelter because the children in my family weren't taking care of me. I'm pretty easygoing, but I need to be in a home where everyone is committed to making sure that I have plenty of food, water, a clean cage, and lots of love. In return I'll be a wonderful pet! Come visit me today!" Oreo's sex is unknown though, so plan accordingly! S/he is three years old.

MD-Small Angels-Bonded Coed Pair

Small Angels Rescue; Foster homes radiating from Frederick, MD: ADOPTED! Juno and Malinda!

Juno is the short haired neutered guinea pig on the left, and Malinda is the cutie girl on his right. Juno came from a local animal shelter, and is just over a year old. He is shy by nature, but does like to be cuddled once actually in the lap.

Malinda was born to a pig in the rescue on just February 15th of this year, so she's just a baby. She is very vocal. Lonely Juno bonded quickly with Malinda, who was lonely herself having been separated from her mother. Despite the difference in their size, Malinda is very outgoing and feisty and lifts Juno's mood, while she popcorns and zooms around their cage.
