LISTING REMOVED. NoVa: One and a half year old boar being rehomed due to life change (new job). Very sweet, doesn't bite, loves attention. He is black with some brown. There is a picture at the link, but I couldn't make it out, perhaps it will be of use to someone with a better computer. He comes with a cage and the makings for a better cage, plus food and other accessories. He has just been seen by a vet ( Cavy Savvy Vets )and had his nails clipped. Rehoming fee.

This blog is intended to feature guinea pigs for adoption in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia, not limited to the metropolitan area. In order to add a listing please email AdoptAGuineaPig @ gmail.com. The blog will also feature news about area shelters and rescues. It in no way encourages br33ding, pet store purchases, or impulsively bringing a living defenseless creature in to an unequipped home.

Leave a note if you visit and have any suggestions. And please, please! anyone who finds their guinea pig from this site, let me know-that would make me tremendously happy.
