LISTING REMOVED Fairfax, VA: 1 y.o. females available for adoption, come with appropriately sized C&C cage (hooray!). "Moccas is affectionate, Spooky a bit skittish until she gets to know you." They are alert and smart. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Poster essentially suggests the guinea pigs need to be housed in a high to medium traffic area of the house, how true! The basement or haunted room that only allows visitors every other Tuesday is not the place for guinea pigs. They need to be part of the family, especially in order to monitor their health. Weigh them weekly with a gram scale for best indication of dips in health.

LISTING REMOVED Alexandria/Springfield, VA: Bonded female guinea pigs being rehomed for an unusual reason, "The only reason I am getting rid of them is because I am turning 18 next month and I just don't have the time to take care of them anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love them a lot, it's just that I'd rather be out having fun with my friends than at home taking care of two guinea pigs."

LISTING REMOVED Fairfax, VA: Scooter is an approximately 3.5 y.o. male being rehomed because the poster is getting new pets and Scooter is "feeling the crunch." Comes with his cage (too small, try Cheaper, Larger Cages), water bottle, vitamin drops (NEVER put these in the water, they're not water soluble so after five minutes they stop working and just make the water taste bad, leading to reduced water consumption and a host of medical problems, food, and a likely highly inaccurate book on guinea pig care.

ensure it matches the name he or she gives *

LISTING REMOVED Silver Spring, MD: Two male guinea pigs being rehomed due to moving. They get along well, so can be adopted together (GUINEA PIG LESSON: adopt them together! Bonded pairs who are separated can suffer severe depression leading to weight loss, anorexia, and even death). They're cuddle bugs who love hay, carrots, and oranges. They better love hay! GUINEA PIG LESSON: Guinea pigs need high quality hay (oxbow, kleenmama's) in unlimited quality all day in order to wear down their constantly growing teeth and aid their digestive processes. Carrots and oranges should only be given as occasional treats. Proper Diet.

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!!!"

MD-Howard County Animal Control Adoption Center-Young Male

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

Herbert is a small young male who is really sweet and is learning how to be pet. He is a snuggle-boy in the making, and needs a patient family ready to help on his journey.

Also! He is a visible roan, and so can never be bred (though guinea pigs shouldn't be in general for numerous reasons) because he carries a gene that can produce a blind, deaf, possibly toothless pig called a "lethal" who will likely not make it a day or two, and if they do they will be dependent on their human for survival. ANY pig can carry this gene.

MD-Small Angels Rescue-New bonded pairs!

Small Angels Rescue; Foster home network centering in Frederick, MD: ADOPTED! Martina & Serena, ADOPTED! Amarissa & Yesenia, ADOPTED! Dakota & Bubbles, Cosimi & Gianni, and ADOPTED! Aled & Erol!

Martina & Serena are adorable baby guinea pig sisters! Serena is on the left, and Martina is on the right. Their birthday is May 5th, 2008, and they were born in foster care. Typical of baby pigs, they're cute, lively popcorners who are more fond of floor time than lap time for now. They're been introduced to a range of veggies and fruits and were born into the good life!
Amarissa & Yesenia are mother and daughter. Yesenia is the mum pig (on the left) and Amarissa is the daughter, born on May 5th, 2008. Yesenia came to the rescue from a farm where she was being housed outdoors (GL on outdoor housing) in a tiny crowded cage. She came to the rescue pregnant and gave birth to five piggies. She is an excellent mom! She loves veggies and popcorns with her piggy pups. Amarissa is still a piggy baby and so is a bit "squirmy" but she'll grow into a lap time lover.
Dakota & Bubbles are another mother and daughter pair. Mum Dakota is on the right, and daughter Bubbles is on the left (noted for her "lovely eyes"). The girls were abandoned at a local animal shelter, then brought to the rescue. They're very sweet, active girls. Bubbles adores lap time and is "in particular...irresistibly soft and cuddly."

Cosimo and Gianni are a bonded pair of young male guinea pigs (abby) born in approximately March of this year. Cosimo is the adorable crested boy on the right, and Gianni is the gorgeous abby on the left. They came from the sad situation of the pigs living outdoors at the farm. They were just three weeks old. They have a whole life to get loved on!

Aled and Erol also came from that farm situation. What survivor piggies! They are a bonded pair of young males (neutered) born in approximately March. Aled is the piggy on the right, and Erol is the pig on the left. They are such adorable boys! They look like dear little sheep.
