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.

MGPR saved Peaches life. She came to the rescue weighing less than a pound and couldn't even stand. After months of caretaking she's healthy as she can be, but she will stay with the rescue for her whole life. Click to donate toward her care.
Royce survived a horrific fate of almost being turned into a meal after being purchased from a petstore. The rescue rehabilitated his exstensive injuries. Click his picture to donate toward his care, and read his story here: http://www.ctguineapigrescue.org/sanctuary/royce.html
Piglet is a beautiful pig in sanctuary care. Suffering from starvation as she was born without incisors, ACRS brought her back to life. Click to donate toward her care. Read more here: http://blog.allcreaturesrescue.org/2008/04/18/little-pig-and-her-chinny-chin-chin/

WANT TO HELP HOMELESS GUINEAS?
SPONSOR A SANCTUARY PIG!
Introducing a new feature of the AAGP blogs! Sanctuary pigs stay with rescues for their entire lives, as they are special needs pigs who would be otherwise euthanized at the shelter or are unadoptable. They have expensive medical conditions and need regular donations to help their ongoing care. Please, any amount you can send the way of one of these pigs would be much appreciated.
