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.
