VA-Animal Welfare League of Alexandria-two ADORABLE boys

Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, VA: LISTING REMOVED Dunkin and Donut!

Dunkin is one of my FAVORITE PIGs! He is a one year old crested guinea pig with medium length hair. He is a bit shy in the shelter and could really benefit from a patient and loving caretaker.





Donut is a two year old agouti guinea boy. He's funny, wiggly, silly and curious! But he settles down soon. He'll make a forever home very happy!

POSTED 3/17/2008



LISTING REMOVED Blackbeard and Pinky arrived at the shelter because they weren't allowed at their previous owner's college dorm. This is always a big worry when big pet stores spring up near colleges (not to assume these pigs came from a store). They're loads of fun and very bonded. I'm assuming Blackbeard is the one on the right, and if so, best name (and one of the best pigs) ever. I bet her owner was majoring in Pirate Studies. They're both girls.

How cute are these boys? They win one of my coveted
FAVORITE PIGGY AWARDS! They're bonded boys who can be adopted separately or together (together, together!!). They were not being taken care of properly in their previous home, and their former owners no longer wanted them. They easily look like they could be brothers. What dear boys.
