MD-Humane Society of Baltimore County-Adult Boar

Humane Society of Baltimore County; Reisterstown, MD: LISTING REMOVED Patches!

Patches is a two year old lovable boar. He loves attention and is easy to handle (I imagine as compared to other guinea pigs, they all have their moments where they need a steady hand). He is very sweet, loves green beans, and is a cute boy waiting for his forever home!

* AAGP recommends quarantining any new guinea pigs

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."

LISTING REMOVED Millersville, MD: A male and female guinea pig available for rehoming PREGNANCY ALERT, one with cage and all accessories. They are both under a year old, pictures available by request. Owner victim of a pregnant pig petstore purchase. GUINEA PIG LESSON: if this happens and you raise enough of a fuss, you can the petstore to pay for any associated bills (you might have to take it to corporate headquarters, but often local branches will pay). But above all, don't give the babies to the petstore. Then they win again by cheating you!

LISTING REMOVED. Portsmouth, VA: Two friendly but timid short haired guinea pigs being rehomed (Boy or Girl?), come with cage, bedding, water bottle, food dish, food, timothy grass, vitamin drops=don't put them in the water. And a quote from the ad that is very classic of many parents who purchase guinea pigs for their kids, without expecting to be sole caregivers: "I purchased for my daughters to teach them some responsibility, but it backfired and my wife has to do the maintaining. They are healthy and happy, just don't feel the kids deserve them." What about what the guinea pigs deserve?

LISTING REMOVED. Stafford, VA: Thunder is a white and gray guinea pig who is a very nice fellow, but is being rehomed because he does not get along with the poster's other pigs. He comes with his cage, water bottle, and some food. He eats out of your hand.
