MD-Luna's House-Five guinea pigs

Luna's House; Abingdon, MD: Payton, Ranger, Kevin, Sam, ADOPTED! Parker!

Payton is an adult female guinea pig (1.5-2 years old), small in size because of malnutrition and neglect early in life. She is gaining some weight in foster care (even as she fights a tough URI) and getting used to the good life. She is a very sweet girl and would love to have an adopter lined up for when she's all better.



Ranger is an adult male guinea pig (3 years old) who is "very sweet and loving." He is undergoing treatment for the very painful condition bumblefoot. I bet Ranger would love an eagerly awaiting adopter too!



Kevin is a cutie-pie small adult male who was rescued from a local shelter.



Sam is a handsome nine month old male guinea pig who will be NEUTERED! He would make a gorgeous husband to a lonely girl you have at home. There are also long term health benefits to adopting a spayed or neutered cavy. Read about them here.



Parker: this adorable boy is 4 to 5 months old, and he wins a FAVORITE PIG AWARD!

MD-Small Angels Rescue-New Pigs!

Small Angels Rescue; Foster homes in Northern MD: Nanette and Sabella, ADOPTED! Pascal and Raoul, ADOPTED! Makayla and Zoe, Anekka and Mariel!

UPDATE:

*NEW* Nanette and Sabella are an absolutely gorgeous mother and daughter pair who were recently returned to the rescue due to their former adopter's allergies. They're both very "sweet and friendly" girls, and Nanette, the smaller of the two, has grown since the photo was taken. Sabella is 2 y.o. and Nanette is 11 months old. "Nanette is very agile (for a piggy!) and likes to hop up and sit on top of her house."


*NEW* Pascal and Raoul are 2 month old brothers who were born in the rescue on May 5th. Raoul is on the right and Pascal is on the left in their photo. They were born to a mother from a sad case; she had been living outside on a farm in a "small overcrowded cage" and she was already close to delivery. Soon after being rescued she gave birth to five pigs, including these two. They love popcorning and playing hide and seek/chase/tag in the hay in their cage! With time they will calm down and love lap time as much as floor time.



Makayla and Zoe are just the most gorgeous pair of bonded adult (2 y.o.) female guineas. Makayla is that ball of teddy fuzz on the right, and Zoe is the pretty girl on the left. Zoe is a bit scared of being picked up, but does enjoy lap time. They came to the rescue from the local animal shelter; their children were no longer taking care of them and so they were surrendered. They love their daily veggies and romping around in their hay.

Can we get a close up please?













Thank you.


Anneka and Mariel are bonded sisters who have lived together since they were abandoned when young. They've now only been surrendered to the rescue because of their care-giver's bad allergies. How sad for everyone involved. Annika is the lovely girl on the left. They both have beautiful dark eyes and are "sweet and cuddly." They love their veggies, occasional fruits, and now really need a family "who will treat them gently and love them forever."

MD/VA/DC-Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue-New Girl Pigs and Pair

Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue, MD/VA/DC: New Girl Pigs and a pair! ALL PIGS SPAYED AND NEUTERED! (Post on males to follow).

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.

UPDATE:

Sugar Lips is six months old. "What a sweet face on this little girl. Those little pig lips look like shes just been nibbling on a powdered sugar confection. While we don't think that would be a great idea for any of our pigs one can always imagine. Sugar Lips will need to be adopted as a friend for your guinea pig or with one of ours. She is a young lively girl that will need someone to romp with."





Cinnamon is one year old. "This is a sweet natured pig that was taken into our rescue with a new litter. Much to our surprise she was already pregnant again. I think this girl needs a long vacation and a forever home with lots of hugs and cuddles."







Fawn is six months old. "Fawn is a lively youngster that just loves to get out and run around at floor time. Shes not afraid to let you know when it's dinner time either. A tad shy with people still she has no problem bossing around her cage mates. She does enjoy having someone to boss around so she will need to be adopted with one of our pigs or as a friend for yours."






ADOPTED! Fudge is five months old. "This girl is super fast. We probably should have named her Stealth. She likes running with her cage mate Cali and will need to be adopted with another pig or as a companion to yours."








ADOPTED! Cali is five months old. "Cali has markings much like a calico cat. She also looks totally different from each side. She likes to play with her cage mate Fudge and just adores the rattle of veggie bags. This sweet young girl needs a forever home with a piggy to play with as well as a human or two to fall in love with."



Cupid is four months old. "Cupid was born in our care the day before valentines days. She is a sweet lively girl and will need a companion pig to play and grow with. She will be a wonderful friend for your pig or adopt her with another one of ours."





ADOPTED! Gilda is a four month old crested short hair. "Gilda is the sister of Angus and koogan. The trio was dropped-off at the shelter with their mom when they were only a week old. Gilda loves other pigs and loves to be held, but is not active within her cage. She must be adopted with another pig."



UPDATE:

Star is a nine month old abby girl. "Star is a beautiful, multicolored Abbysinian who came to MGPR still nursing her two babies, Leon and Michelle. Star loves to romp in the grass with her two babies, and is happy to eat most anything you give her. At first she was a bit shy, but has grown more and more calm, allowing the adoring neighborhood children to pet her. Ideally, she would be adopted out with Michelle, but at the very least as one of a pair."


ADOPTED! Miss Marple is a former foster of mine! She's a four month old girl. I named her Miss Marple because she's so tiny and curious and cute. "Miss Marple is a beautiful girl with remarkable coloring. Malnourished when we took her in, Miss Marple will most likely be on the small side for her entire life. However she has developed into a true cuddle bug with a great out going personality."



Wonka and Tate are a five month old male and female pair, and they "are a wonderfully silly pair!"


ADOPTED! Fluffy is a one year old guinea pig. "Fluffy is a sweet girl with a nice easy going personality. Named after the hugely popular children's books "Fluffy, the Classroom Guinea Pig". She too is a star. She helped represent Balt. Co. Humane Society on one of their tv appearances."





Snowball is a snuggle bug that just loves to cuddle up for lap time. She very much likes the company of other pigs and must be adopted as a companion to yours or with one of ours. She is one year old.









ADOPTED! Sandy has a sweet calm personality. Shes loves lap time and floor time and lots of fresh veggies. She will make a great companion for your male or one of ours. P.S. She also loves a good chin scratch. She is eight months old.

ADOPTED! Isadora Is adorable!!!!! This sweet beauty was born in our care. She is the spitting image of her mother right down to the eye liner around those beautiful eyes. She is playful and active and full of fun. She is more than ready for her very own forever home and a piggy friend to share it with. She can not be adopted as a single. She is two months old and crested!






MY PERSONAL THREE FOSTERS!


Tizzy is a whirlwind of a piggy! She is a very active girl who loves to popcorn and play "piggy spy" with her friends during floor time. Tizzy would be best suited for a guinea-experienced home, and should not be adopted to a home with young children. Lettuce leaves be warned: Tizzy is on the prowl! UPDATE: Tizzy is becoming a total lap pig. Tizzy is five months old



ADOPTED! Hildegard von Beaver-Pig is eight months old. "Hildy is a guinea pig superstar! She has soft, fluffy fur and loves to be pet, so long as you don't mind her climbing all over you. She is a popcorning maniac and absolutely loves floortime. After just a few days with her we knew she must be guinea pig royalty, and so she got her surname. She must be adopted with another guinea pig. She appears to be the mother of Tizzy."

Aimé is a sweetheart piggy girl, who loves lap time as much as floor time, and she loves floor time! She is a champion popcorner, and can't wait to have a pig companion with whom to race and cuddle. Aimé cannot be an only pig. She is six months old.

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-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.

Small Angels Rescue; Foster homes throughout Northern MD: Rhys and Tayo, ADOPTED! Lizette and Zara, and Avalon and Raleigh !

Rhys and Tayo are a pair of adorable neutered adult male guinea pigs. Rhys is the abby on the left, and Tayo is the incredibly striking guinea on the right (he even has ruby eyes!). They came from the local animal shelter where they were surrendered because of allergies in their owners. They only got ten days in their last home before being given to the shelter! Poor boys, they've just been bounced around. They are settling down and loving being spoiled in their foster home.

Lizette and Zara are bonded adult adorable girls who were surrendered to the rescue because of allergies. They have medium length hair. Lizette is the girly on the left, and Zara is on the right. They both are very sweet, and really looking forward to a forever home. Read more about them at the link!
Avalon and Raleigh are 1 y.o. neutered male guinea pigs. Raleigh is on the left, and Avalon is on the right. They are quite bonded! They came to the rescue from the local animal shelter. They are fun, active and playful guinea boys who love to race around their cage. Being picked up isn't their favorite thing in the world, but once they're in the lap they'll settle down for a bit. They are looking for a gentle and loving forever home!
