Alert!

Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue recently took in 22 pigs from ONE shelter. If you are considering adopting in the DC metropolitan area, please consider sending them an application!

They do not allow minors to apply for guinea pigs.
They do not allow applicants who have outside animals (excluding farm animals).
They insist on adequately large housing for the guinea pig, such as the housing described at http://www.guineapigcages.com/.
They do not adopt out single guinea pigs.

Did you know...

that just like those poor puppies, guinea pigs in pet stores also can come from mills? And that someone who br33ds even a few litters a year, then sells (or gives away) the pigs online or to a store is still guaranteeing the death of a pig in a shelter?

I say what may seem a harsh statement because there are many, many more guinea pigs then there are homes. And so if you have found this blog, please don't get your guinea pig from a petstore, 4-her, school br33ding program, or someone who has otherwise contributed to the guinea pig population on purpose, because there are hundreds of guinea pigs posted below who are in desperate need of a forever home.

Adopting a guinea pig listed on this website is saving a life!

They're counting on you!
