MD/VA/DC-Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue-New Boys!

Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue, MD/VA/DC: New boy pigs! ALL PIGS SPAYED AND NEUTERED! (Post on females here).

This is the fabulous rescue for which I foster, and they are always looking for new foster homes. I'm going to cheat and just quote their bios from their site.

ADOPTED! Huggs is a four month old male. "Huggs is a sweet lively boy just as his name implies. Born in our care the day before valentines day, he is very anxious to have his very own forever home with some nice humans and a piggy girl to spend the rest of his life with. Huggs can not be adopted as a single pig."






ADOPTED! Kisses is a four month old male. "What do you think. Can it be pure coincidence that this sweet boy born the day before valentines day has a head that so resembles a Chocolate kiss? This yummy little fellow needs a forever home of his very own with a girlie pig to play away the days with. He can not be an only pig. He must be adopted to pair with your pig or with one of ours."





Rocky is a five month old gray and white agouti. His bio reads: "Rocky is a very outgoing and curious little fellow with very unique coloring. He has lots of energy and loves floor time."








Charlie Chaplin
is five months old. "This debonair guy will surely charm his new owner with his good looks and lively personality. He will need to be adopted as a companion to your pig or with one of ours. If you're wondering, both pictures are of Charlie. How cool is he???"

ADOPTED! Checkers is five months old. "Our picture doesn't show the unique checker pattern on this little fellows back. A long with his great markings he has a lively personality and lots of energy.Floor time and room to run are big favorites of Checkers. He will need to be adopted as a companion to your pig or with one of ours. "


ADOPTED! Squirrel is a three month old male. He's so adorable and earns a FAVORITE PIG AWARD! "What a nice little fellow this is. Take a look at his enchanting face. He is a real heart winner with his unusual coloration and sweet disposition. An active fellow that likes to know whats going on around him. He is very anxious to meet the girl pig of his dreams. He will need to be a cage mate to your girl or with one of ours. "


Angus and Koogan are three month old bonded males who can be adopted together or be adopted individually as mates to your pigs. "Interested in learning Koogan's bluff? He's a sensitive guy! He loves his brother very much and can't stand to have him out of his sight. (For all you movie buffs, that's why our Koogan is special and spelled with a K instead of a C!) Angus, a beautiful Self Black/Chocolate boy, is a true snuggle bug and loves to be cuddled. Both are very inquisitive and love to explore. They love their fresh veggies and will give you reminders each time you open the fridge door! These boys are very active and may not be well suited to a family with very young children"

Bruiser is two months old. " Talk about personality plus. This big guy came into the world thinking he owns it and nothing has changed his mind to date. He is one hundred percent interested in everything going on around him. So much so he can hardly stand to go in his pigaloo to rest. Lap time, floor time, he loves it all. He loves the girls too and will absolutely have to have a female cage mate. "


Leon is a three month old male. "Leon is a completely sweet, calm, beautiful multicolored short haired baby.. he is all of 3 months old, and came to MGPR still nursing from his mom, Star. Leon loves to be held and pet, and should be adopted with another guinea pig. He loves the social interaction of other guinea pigs."

ADOPTED! Foxfur is four months old. "This dapper young lad came in with his brother Badger. They love each other and popcorning. Which is all the time so I'd say this is one happy youngster. He would love to go with his bro or to get married to your single girl piggie. Either way, you will get alot of happy times with this one! In his foster home he thinks his name is Wuzzy or Buddy. "
ADOPTED! Badger is four months old. "This handsome chap came in with his brother Foxfur. Although, his foster family call them Fuzzy and Wuzzy or Fuzzy and Buddy. Whatever you call them, they are love bugs and would love to go together or to get married and live happily ever after. Don't let this pair get away!!!"



* 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. *
