Columbia (Baltimore), MD: Guinea pig Boy or Girl? being rehomed due to allergies, comes with cage, food, water bottle, hay and snacks (double check if the snacks are okay on Guinea Lynx; often snacks marketed toward guinea pigs are actually choking hazards/toxic).

Parkville (Baltimore), MD: Two female guinea pigs being rehomed because children have lost interest. Must be adopted together, guinea pigs are bonded.

Mechanicsville (Richmond), VA: Two male guinea pigs being rehomed due to son losing interest. Very sweet, used to being handled. Pics available by request. Come with cage, food, water bottle, extra cage, bedding, and other accessories.

Forest Hill Park (Richmond), VA: Poster found a cage abandonded in Forest Hill Park with two guinea pigs inside and brought the pigs home. Only one pig survived, but thrived! and is now a healthy, happy and pudgy girl named Bunny. She does not get enough attention in her present home, and so the poster has decided to rehome her. Here's the catch, they're not sure whether Bunny is actually a girl. And since Bunny was housed with another pig, she may actually be pregnant. Ooch! You know the links: PREGNANCY WATCH Boy or Girl?

Virginia Beach (Norfolk), VA: Three males and four females being rehomed due to allergies. Come with cages (too small, try Cheaper, Better Cages). Adopt them in same sex pairs, as they get along well with each other. Oldest is 1.5 years old. If anyone has info that this may be a br33der listing, please let me know and I will promptly remove it.



Fredericksburg (NoVA): Franklin is a male guinea pig, less than one year old, being rehomed because his family found two guinea pigs to be too much work (as compared to one). I have actually found the opposite to be true. Guinea pigs also are incredibly social creatures, and really rely on having a friend. Here's a great link for more info: Guinea Pigs need a friend! Social Interaction. He comes with his cage (too small, try Cheaper, Better Cages), food dish and water bottle.



Kempsville (Norfolk), VA: Two 5 m.o. female guinea pigs being rehomed due to allergies. Lovable and playful, bonded and so must be adopted together. One is a longhair, the other looks like she might be a texel mix? A rather high adoption fee (poster is attempting to recoup costs) includes accessories. Still, don't forget the essential: Cheaper, Better Cage

MD-Montgomery County Humane Society-New Rescue and Foster Pigs!

Montgomery County Humane Society; Rockville, MD: Ronnie, Bronty and Crunch, Lou and Lenny!


Ronnie is a six month old agouti and white unaltered male. Ronnie "is a sweet, wonderful, and gentle Guinea Pig being cared for at the MCHS Private Rescue....He is friendly, likes to be held and has never bitten anyone. He loves human contact and would make a wonderful addition to a family."


Bronty and Crunch are bonded one year old males who sound like they have a great foster mom! In their previous home they were purchased from a petstore, put in a cage, and just left alone :( They've been making great progress with socialization and are aces at lap time. Bronty and Crunch are perfect for an adult home with some patience, and love their C&C cage (check it: Cheaper, Better Cages )


Lou and Lenny are bonded 1 y.o. males who love being held and pet "They are outgoing and friendly and were given up because the owner was allergic to them." Look at this cute pair!

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.

VA-Fairfax County Animal Services-Two ADORABLE pigs unknown sex/age

Fairfax County Animal Services; Fairfax, VA: Snickers and Reese!

LISTING REMOVED Snickers:

update new picture:



Reese: Does this guinea pig look familiar to any long time readers? I feel like I have featured him or her before. Also, this guinea pig should never be bred because it carries the dangerous roan gene and could create a lethal pup (though this blog is against intentional br33ding of any guinea pig because of the overwhelming homeless population and dangers it poses to the animal).

VA-Cave Spring Piggie Rescue-Baby Boy

Cave Spring Piggie Rescue; Roanoke, VA: Simon!

Simon was born at the regional ASPCA on March 2nd, 2008. He is an American cross with silkie type hair. He is very sweet and laid back for a baby. Wow, normally they are such zoomers and nibblers! Sounds like Simon would be a great match for an older male pig who needs a mate. The rescue is listing him as special needs because he is a satin: "He will need yearly x-rays to evaluate bone densities to determine if he will need calcium supplements in the future. It may or may not be a problem for him. But boy, he is so pretty and he does shine."

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!
