NY-EUTHANIZATION ALERT-DESPERATE CALL FOR HELP

GUINEA PIGS SAFE AND ALWAYS WERE! READ UPDATE here.


THREE DAYS until fifteen guinea pigs in upstate New York are euthanized. Now that a college br33ding program has ended, the pigs are going to be killed on Wednesday, the twelfth of December.

Any help is desperately needed. Foster homes, adopters, financial or material donations, donations of time, transporting a pig to a safe home, etc.

All fifteen of these Pink Eyed Whites (PEW)s, though lab animals, have been handled daily and are friendly.

The school in question is SUNY Delhi, a small college in the Catskills Mountains of New York. It's website is here: http://www.delhi.edu.

For any questions or offers of help, please either leave a comment, email me at Adoptaguineapig @ gmail.com (remove spaces), or visit this thread on Guinea Lynx: here.

PLEASE HELP KEEP THESE DEFENSELESS,
INNOCENT ANIMALS FROM BEING KILLED!

VA-Craigslist-Two bonded guinea pigs

FLAGGED FOR REMOVAL. Norfolk, VA: Maybe it's my impacted wisdom teeth that's making me hate everyone, but this ad really ground my gears. Some wanna-be advertising exec gave it the headline "2 Beautiful Guinea Pigs with new cage-FR33!! Will not last long!" No, they won't last long. These animals might be dead already. I've heard from other people I write to that they get replies within minutes from bunchers and hoarders. Cripes. Two years old.

VA-Event-Frederick County Animal Shelter

So this blog does not endorse or affiliate with any religion(s), but I did want to share an event that sounded neat with you all. Please don't think that by doing so I wish to encourage worshiping anything other than animal safety.

Frederick County Animal Shelter
is having a "Christmas at the Shelter" this Saturday, from 11 AM to 2 PM. A ceremony will be held to bless the animals, and you are encouraged to bring your own (I don't think this would be a guinea pig's scene though, or an animal with a vulnerable immune system).

To quote from their website:

COME SEE THE NEW FACILITY, ENJOY REFRESHMENTS,
VISIT WITH AND POSSIBLY ADOPT AN ANIMAL.

FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO BRING GIFTS FOR THE SHELTER ANIMALS, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WOULD BE APPRECIATED:

CANNED DOG AND CAT FOOD, BIRD FOOD (COCKATIEL, ETC.), DISPOSABLE CAT TOYS, DOG TOYS, SOLID RAW HIDE CHEWS, BLANKETS, TOWELS, CLEAN CARPET (CUT INTO 12 INCH SQUARES), SHOE BOXES, PINE SOL, CLOROX AND PAPER TOWELS.

Have fun if you go, and tell us about it in the comment section!

MD-Craigslist-Bonded Sisters

ensure
it matches the name he or she gives *

LISTING REMOVED. Towson, MD: Two guinea pig sisters available for adoption with reasonable rehoming fee. Their ad describes them as beautiful, gentle and sweet. They love attention and veggies. They come with a 2x4 cage (ooh!), a smaller cage, food, bowls, water bottles, and pigloos.

MD/VA/DC-MGPR-new pigs!

MGPR, the organization for which I foster, has a bunch of new guinea pigs available for adoption. Exciting day! MGPR spays and neuters all their guinea pigs unless it's not medically advisable. There are even more guinea pigs who will be available for adoption that aren't on their site, so keep checking back.

ADOPTED! Lucky is a beautiful Abby boy who is one year old. He is very friendly with both people and pigs. Lucky is looking for a sow-friend to spend the rest of his life with, and he cannot be adopted as a single pig.



ADOPTED! Dana (first pictured) is a beautiful nine month old girl, and is sisters with ADOPTED! Crystal. The girls can be adopted separately so long as they won't be single pigs, or they can be adopted together. Crystal is a gorgeous nine month old abby girl.


ADOPTED! Tootsie has actually previously been featured on this blog, in this post. I loved her then and I love her now! She is ten months old and somewhat shy, but absolutely loves other guinea pigs. She must be adopted either with another guinea pig, or to a home that has a guinea pig waiting for her.



ADOPTED! Superfudge and Squeaky are a handsome boy/girl pair who met and fell in love in a foster home. Squeaky is a friendly sweetheart who will greet you at the entrance of the cage. They are a wonderful pair waiting for wonderful adopters.



ADOPTED! Frank is a cute boy, eleven months old, who is looking for a girl-friend too. He is very personable with pigs and people--sounds perfect!


ADOPTED! Layla is such a sweet girl, with a little white chin. She is two years old and laid back. She loves other pigs, and wants to be adopted to a home with other guineas.



And don't forget MGPR's pig of the month-ADOPTED! Possum! This cute boy is ready and waiting for a home. At eleven months he's past the prickly adolescence but still full of young boar-ish energy. He's healthy, full of energy, and loves other pigs. He needs to go to a home where he'll have pig and people pals.

DC-GPAN-Boar

I can't stay away.

Washington, D.C.: A listing on Guinea Pig Adoption Network for a one year old boar named Notorious P.I.G. (love it). This white, light brown, and dark brown guy needs a new home--the poster is going abroad and his parents won't keep him while he's gone. Adopt this piggie and get him a (spayed) broad for company!

MD-Craigslist-Three Guinea Pigs

* If responding to a Craigslist ad 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 *

LISTING REMOVED. Essex, MD: Ugh, this ad is gross. Three "very loving great pets" need to go ASAP because the person is moving. He encourages them as gifts. No no no, not a good idea. Think unknown allergies, financial or space constrictions, other animals, it's just a bad idea all around. I imagine they'd be bonded, but the poster says you can take one, two, or three.

VA-Craigslist-Two young boars

* If responding to a Craigslist ad 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 *

LISTING REMOVED. Charlottesville, VA: Two boars need a new home because the poster's daughter is allergic to them, as well as a bit rough. The guinea pigs are large, and very loving and tame. They love to be petted and held. They are not yet a year old. One is tan with ruby colored eyes, the other is chocolate colored. Pictures available by request. A small adoption fee includes cage, water bottle, food, etc. These seem like good people, if it's possible to sense such a thing.

MD-Luna's House-Two new piggies


Luna's House has new pigs! Happy day! Luna's House is a great rescue. if you aren't familiar with them, please browse the blog or check out their site, because I want to get straight to their cuties!

ADOPTED! Camille is a small young sow who is very pretty, even beyond her uber-feminine background. She looks like a real lady. If you would like to contribute to Camille getting the best care possible, but can't adopt her yourself, there is always the option of sponsoring her!



ADOPTED! Reese is one of the neatest looking guinea pigs I've ever seen in my life. She is another young female sow. Luna's House has an exceptionally cute class of guinea pigs this month! Like Camille, if you are unable to adopt Reese but still want to help in her care, there is always the option of sponsoring her.
