Frederick, MD: Two bonded female guinea pigs being rehomed due to lack of interest by child. Have been seen by vet, ruled healthy. Come with cage, water bottle, bag of food and bag of hay. Do need some help with socialization, but all this requires is patience.


Columbia (Baltimore), MD: Guinea pig Boy or Girl? being rehomed due to allergies, comes with cage, food, water bottle, hay and snacks (double check if the snacks are okay on Guinea Lynx; often snacks marketed toward guinea pigs are actually choking hazards/toxic).

Baltimore City, MD
: Two female guinea pigs, approximately 14 months old, being rehomed due to lack of attention. Come with all accessories. Must be adopted together because they are bonded sisters.

Parkville (Baltimore), MD

Mechanicsville (Richmond), VA
: Two male guinea pigs being rehomed due to son losing interest. Very sweet, used to being handled. Pics available by request. Come with cage, food, water bottle, extra cage, bedding, and other accessories.

Forest Hill Park (Richmond), VA
: Poster found a cage abandonded in Forest Hill Park with two guinea pigs inside and brought the pigs home. Only one pig survived, but thrived! and is now a healthy, happy and pudgy girl named Bunny. She does not get enough attention in her present home, and so the poster has decided to rehome her. Here's the catch, they're not sure whether Bunny is actually a girl. And since Bunny was housed with another pig, she may actually be pregnant. Ooch! You know the links: PREGNANCY WATCH Boy or Girl?

Virginia Beach (Norfolk), VA
: Three males and four females being rehomed due to allergies. Come with cages (too small, try Cheaper, Better Cages). Adopt them in same sex pairs, as they get along well with each other. Oldest is 1.5 years old. If anyone has info that this may be a br33der listing, please let me know and I will promptly remove it.



Fredericksburg (NoVA)
: Franklin is a male guinea pig, less than one year old, being rehomed because his family found two guinea pigs to be too much work (as compared to one). I have actually found the opposite to be true. Guinea pigs also are incredibly social creatures, and really rely on having a friend. Here's a great link for more info: Guinea Pigs need a friend! Social Interaction. He comes with his cage (too small, try Cheaper, Better Cages), food dish and water bottle.



Kempsville (Norfolk), VA: Two 5 m.o. female guinea pigs being rehomed due to allergies. Lovable and playful, bonded and so must be adopted together. One is a longhair, the other looks like she might be a texel mix? A rather high adoption fee (poster is attempting to recoup costs) includes accessories. Still, don't forget the essential: Cheaper, Better Cage

MD-Howard County Animal Control Adoption Center-crested baby boy

Howard County Animal Control Adoption Center; Columbia, MD: Andy!

Andy is a small baby boy with strikingly unique markings. He's a sweet guy who was given up because his child lost interest in him and so the parents turned him into the shelter. He has experience with dogs, cats, and kids. He's a nice, great little pig who really wants a forever home where the whole family is invested in his care.
