VA-Shelters/rescues-EVENTS!

* Fairfax County Animal Services; Fairfax, VA: Pet loss support group. Meets the third Wednesday of every month at 7:30 PM, more details at site.

* Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue
; VA: Fostering Opportunities!

"Have you ever wanted to personally get involved the rescue of guinea pigs? We are always in need of good, loving homes to temporarily house guinea pigs until they are adopted. If interested, please submit an application and put "I want to foster!" in the guinea pig requested.

MGPR pays for all vet care and supplies for your foster pig(s). We even provide the cage! If you have guinea pigs of your own, you can purchase bedding and food supplies from us at our cost.

So, if you can foster just one guinea pig, we'll be one guinea pig closer to our goal of finding "forever homes" for each and every guinea pig."
