VA-Guinea Pig Home-Boar

ADOPTED! Norfolk, VA: Moogle is a boar who needs oodles of love! He is a very striking silver and white American, possible roan, not sure, with a crest. He is very friendly, active, and loves to cuddle. He sounds like the perfect guinea pig! He is both calm and playful, and gives guinea kisses. He is two years old and comes with his cage, bedding, food and toys. If you have more questions, ask them by registering at Guinea Pig Home. Register anyway, it's a great forum!

POST DELETED. Mechanicsville, VA: I am hoping this is not a br33der ad, I don't think it is, but do some research before adopting these pigs. If it is, contact me and I'll remove it. Four pigs as a result of mis-sexing. Boys and girls, small adoption fee. All under one year old.

MD-Small Angels-New and Old

More small angels from Small Angels! After featuring the latest three, I'm going to post pictures of the others at the bottom. Click on them to go to their Petfinder page.

LISTING REMOVED. Consuelo is a beautiful boy. He's one year old and of medium size. His mother was sold to a family from a pet store--they didn't know that with their piggy, came--Consuelo! And so he was sent to the rescue. He loves lap time and floor time, especially if it involves burrowing in hay (gps need an unlimited supply, for multiple medical reasons). Consuelo has been neutered, so he's looking for a lady friend with whom to share his pellet bowl. Do you know of such a gal?



ADOPTED! Stefir is such a handsome, personable looking boy. He is a youngin' too, only five months old. He loves racing around and popcorning, but he is in that teenage phase where he's a bit grumpy/aloof/disdainful about being picked up. Once he's in your lap though, he is a sweetie. He's looking for a buddy, and since he's neutered, he could be potentially paired with a lovely girl you may have at home. Stefir came to the rescue from the local shelter. He really deserves some pampering!

LISTING REMOVED. Benito is a young active boy who is still learning how great it is to be a pig! He is just six months old, and he came from an animal shelter in a sad condition--far too thin. But now the Small Angels team is working on fattening him up. He is very active and, suprisingly for his age, quite easy to pick up, pet and cuddle. This boy needs a new start in life, and he's looking for a lady friend with him to start anew.



Don't forget! There are plenty more Small Angels piggies to fall in love with! Click on a picture to learn more about that guinea.

VA-GPAN-Bonded boars

Sterling, VA: Patches and Oreo need a new home. They are less than a year old and being rehomed because of allergies. Patches is a multi-colored boy, and Oreo is black and white. They are sweet, adorable boy. Patches is the more vocal of the two, and Oreo is more reserved. They come with their cage, water bottle, bedding, pigloo, food, bowl and vitamin drops . If these dear piggies are either soon to go through adolescence, or are in the midst of it right now, it's especially important that they have a large C&C cage, multiple places for each boar to hide, and two of everything.

MD-Luna's House-bonded sows

Luna's House has two new piggies! These pretty young sows, ADOPTED! Sylvia and Beverly, are presently available for adoption. If you are unable to adopt them but fall in love with their cute faces, please consider sponsoring them! Their Petfinder page, which you can reach by clicking on their names, offers more information on this opportunity to help animals in need.

MD-Humane Society of Charles County-Guinea Pig

Humane Society of Charles County has a LISTING REMOVED. gorgeous piggie. It doesn't say whether this abby is a boy or girl, but s/he is beautiful. The piggie is socialized to people, calm, and appears to be an adult. Oooh, I love this piggie! Worrisomely, it looks like there's a honey stick in the cage. These are not good for piggies, even though the petstores market them as such.

POST DELETED. Salem, VA: Four guinea pigs, two males, two females, need a new home, as their owner has a new baby. They are all under a year old. They are all friendly and healthy. The girls are bonded, as are the boys, and they are housed separately. It's ideal if someone adopts all four, but not necessary. If you do adopt all four, they come with all accessories, including cage and water bottle, food and hay. Transportation in the immediate area possible.

MD-Montgomery County Humane Society-Sow

LISTING REMOVED. Montgomery County Humane Society has a brand new sow named Cindy, and she is a cutie who just needs some grooming.



She is a four month old girl who is used to being handled, but hasn't had regular floor time for exercise. She was given up because of allergies. This girl needs some love. And a brushing so she can back to her usual beautiful self!

VA-Norfolk SPCA

The Norfolk SPCA has three guinea pigs available for adoption, two of whom I have already featured, but shockingly are still there. Adopt these beauties! They've been too long with out a home to call their own.

ADOPTED! This is a new picture of Betty, who for some reason now has two listings. I'll leave those of you who fall in love with her to sort it out. She is a young sow of medium size, and she is wearing a cute black mask!


NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Napoleon looks like a wise old boar to me, but he is actually young and spry. He is so sweet looking!


LISTING REMOVED. Guinea Pig is a small young...guinea pig, whose sex is unknown. Seems odd. If anyone can figure this out please post here. Boy or girl, this pig is cute! UPDATE: GP's a boy!

VA-Noah's Ark Foundation

So I go to check my links the other day, and realize that I never posted three of Noah's Ark Foundation's guineas. I posted their guinea who has a pending application, but not the three who haven't been applied for! And they've been there for months. My apologies to the Dale City guinea pigs of Noah's Ark Foundation.

LISTING REMOVED. Eevee is one of the most adorable boys on Petfinder, in my opinion. He is a ten month old abby looking for a forever home. He can be shy at first, but warms right up. He needs a family who has a lot of time for him. This is a boar to make time for!




LISTING REMOVED. Cutie is a very adorable and appropriately named sow. She is two years old and a small girl, who, like Eevee, can be shy but warms up to you. She loves to eat, and is a sweet, lovable, laid-back girl.




LISTING REMOVED. Lickity is a three pound, two year old sow. She's a dominant girl who likes her alone time, and likes to spend time outside munching on safe grass. She sounds like a fun guinea, and I can venture from her photo that she's a cute guinea too!

LISTING REMOVED. Dundalk, (near Baltimore), MD: a guinea pig being given up because poster's daughter no longer plays with him. He is a nice pig who comes with his food, cage, and other supplies for a too-small adoption fee. Not a happy holiday for this boy.

Let's Give Thanks! (SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW PIGS)

My pigs enjoying their T-day meal

I'd like to take a moment to say thank you to all of the rescues and shelters I have listed in the past month. Please consider thanking them as well. Whether it be an email of admiration, a monetary/financial donation, or scheduling to volunteer, the people behind these links are heroes to animals and adopters. When available, I'm going to link to a donation page which will link to info on financial donations, material donations, and donations of your time. Anything you can do to help will be a help. In the hopes that someone will see this and send a thank you, I want to say my appreciation to you. Thank you for helping homeless animals and the people who care for them daily.

My tip is to pick either your local rescue/shelter, or the rescue/shelter which houses your favorite guinea pig(s), and send them a thank you, in whatever form. If a group doesn't have a help link by it, that probably means information on helping is on the homepage. Let's Give Thanks!

VA-Fairfax County Animal Services-Boar

LISTING REMOVED. I can't get over how cute Fester is. He is officially one of my favorite guineas I've featured on both sites. He is a cutie patootie! He's with Fairfax County Animal Services, and they think he's seven months old. If I put up a PayPal button would you readers donate me enough money to get a house, a new C&C cage, vegetables, health care, and other necessities for nine guinea pigs? Sleep on it.



Look at those flippy little ears! Oh he is such a cute Guinea Bear.

MD-Tri-County Animal Shelter-two bonded pairs

Tri-County is a Maryland shelter which serves Charles County, St. Mary's County, and Calvert County. Several years ago the shelter had to house several hundred guinea pigs because of a seize from a hoarder. They just have four guinea pigs right now, which I can guess confidently are a lot easier to care for. It's still just as hard for these guinea pigs who aren't yet in their forever homes.

LISTING REMOVED. Joan and Bailey are a bonded pair of young sows. Joan is black and white and one year old, and Bailey is a six month old blonde and white girl. They are both so beautiful. RENAMED: Lola and Vanna.


LISTING REMOVED. Boar and Willie are two blonde and white boars. They're six month old and medium sized handsome guys.

LISTING REMOVED. Guinea piggy in Baltimore needs new home. This beautiful girl is named Grape, and she is sweet and lovable. The poster does not have enough time for her, between work and being a single mother, and so she has to rehome her for a reasonable adoption fee. It includes her cage (too small), pigloo, water bottle, and hay. She is a sweetie pie, as far as I can tell from her photo.
