VA-Virginia Beach SPCA-MeMaw and babies

Virginia Beach SPCA, VA: LISTING REMOVED Princess, LISTING REMOVED Raphael, LISTING REMOVED Avril, LISTING REMOVED Leonardo, and LISTING REMOVED Remy.

Posting this in case the babies are a new litter of Princess's.

Momma Pig and Her Babies! as well as a repeat GUINEA PIG LESSON: a repeat on roaning (the special pattern in their fur) and how it relates to guinea pigs:

One of many reasons why I'm against br33ding (and why this blog does not support br33ding), is because if a roan pig is br3d with with a roan pig (or if a dal pig, another br33d, is br3d with a dal pig), there is a one in four chance a lethal pig will be born. Lethal pigs are very, very special needs, if they live more than a few days. Please don't ever br33d your pigs, as there is a high chance of fatality for the mother. But if you have a pig with white fur and some black spots (a dal pig), or the black markings intermittent in fur that constitute roaning, please, please don't br33d them. Your pig may create a blind, deaf pig with no teeth who relies on you for care. And with so many hundreds of homeless pigs, why br33d in the first place? This whole family carries the roan gene and could potentially create a lethal if br3d.

Princess is a one year old guinea girl who is good with kids.She was surrendered due to landlord reasons.

Raphael is a baby boy who was born at the shelter and has been handled daily by his foster family. He was born on 4/29/2008. He's good with kids, and has short black and red fur.






Avril is a baby girl who was also born at the shelter on the same day as Raphael and has also been handled daily by the foster family. She's good with kids, and also has short black and red fur.






Leonardo is a baby boy who was born at the shelter on the same day and has also been handled daily by the foster family. He's good with kids and has short black and gray fur.






Remy is a baby boy also born at the shelter, same day, being helped by the foster family. He is good with kids and has short black and gray fur.

MD-Small Angels Rescue-New pigs!

Small Angels Rescue; Foster homes in Northern Maryland: Enzo, Leonard, Eddie and Jane, and ADOPTED! Nicholai! UPDATE: ADOPTED! Wally and Marshall!

Wally and Marshall are an adorable bonded pair of neutered guinea guys. Wally is the abby on the left, and Marshall is the short hair on the right. The sweet guys came to the rescue from a local shelter; they were surrendered because their owner was moving. Wally is a calm and cuddly guy during lap time, while Marshall is a little shyer, though very gentle. They both are well accustomed to hay and veggies!



Enzo is a a beautiful piggy from a local animal shelter where the poor guy had spent six weeks waiting to be adopted! This gorgeous adult male is both crested and neutered, and is "an unusual lilac and ginger with a little bit of white in color and he has ruby eyes." Enzo has become less shy in foster care, and is big cuddly boy waiting for a forever home to love on him!





Leonard is an agouti brown and white adult neutered guinea male with dark eyes. He came to the rescue from a local shelter, where he had been surrendered because his family no longer wished to take care of him anymore. The teenager who had brought him home lost interest in Leonard after insisting on keeping in him, and so he got the boot. Help Leonard learn the meaning of forever!



Eddie and Jane are a bonded adult pair of a girl and neutered girl pigs. Eddie is the teddy on the left. Jane is the teddy on the right and has ruby eyes. They came to the rescue from a family who was moving. They are friendly pigs who are well socialized and love lap time. They're vocal at veggie time, love their hay, and settle down nicely once they're finally in your lap.

Nicholai is an adorable adult male neutered guinea pig who wins one of my FAVORITE PIG awards. He was surrendered to a local animal shelter because his owner didn't want to care for him anymore, and then came to the rescue. Once in the rescue he was treated for a UTI and a URI. Nicholai has a "slightly deformed nasal septum" and so makes a slight snoring sound! He is a slight special needs pig, in that he needs a family willing to monitor his condition and take him in to a Cavy Savvy Vet for regular physical checkups. He is very personable and sweet, and greets people at the side of the cage!
