VA-Craigslist-Norfolk/Charlottesville

*If responding to an ad by an individual, meet in a public place

ensure it matches the name he or she gives *


Newport News (Norfolk), VA: 1 y.o. female guinea pig being rehomed after only recently being adopted from another Craigslister. Guinea pigs need time to adjust in their new home. "She seems really really scared for some reason she runs when you try to grab her and hold her." This is very typical of guinea pigs. "She will let you pet her if you are easy with her." She doesn't come with a cage, why not get a Cheaper, Better Cage? Read the listing for more details. Marking this girl as special needs, after being moved around so much she deserves a guinea pig experienced home or one willing to learn.

LISTING REMOVED Scottsville (Charlottesville), VA: 3 y.o. mother and daughter pair being rehomed due to move. "Very, very docile and friendly." One guinea pig pictured, the other looks similar except for two white feet.

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."

VA-Craigslist-Fairfax/ South Riding Chantilly

*If responding to an ad by an individual, meet in a public place
or go with a friend. Google the phone number of the poster to
ensure it matches the name he or she gives *

Fairfax City, VA: 2.5 y.o. lovable male guinea pig (Ron) being rehomed due to an aggressive dog. Comes with cage and supplies.

Hampton, VA: Poster purchased guinea pigs from pet store two months ago and is now moving and is rehoming pigs. They come with a too small cage, pigloos, a water bottle, food dish, chew toy, hay, food, leftover bedding, and vitamin C drops which should NOT go in the water--they aren't water soluble, meaning they stop working after 5 minutes and just make the water taste bad. GUINEA PIG LESSON: Guinea pigs from petstores frequently suffer from mites, URIs, are missexed, and may be pregnant. These are listed as females, but double checking the sex is a good idea.



South Riding Chantilly, VA: Two 2 y.o. male guinea pigs being rehomed due to life style change. "Quite animated...playful," vocal, used to children (but guinea pigs should always have parents as the primary care givers, and prepared to be the sole caregivers). Come with their food, cage, pigloo, "snuggle pouch," hutch and bedding available at time.

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.
