Hello all,

I am a new guinea pig owner, and have 2 currently. In the future i would like to adopt a guinea pig, as i have learned so much about the negatives of pet stores from this site and forum. The only problem is, i don't know where to find a guinea pig that needs a home!

I live in Omaha, NE. I can not drive very far as my car is not very reliable and do not want to buy a new one because it would come out of my emergency savings (which i would use for any vet bills, school, ect).

I might be able to borrow a car if absolutely necessary. I have already checked petfinder, craigslist, this forum, and guineapighome.com and have not found anything in the area. I saw that there used to be a guinea pig rescue in bellevue, NE which is nearby, but it was from 2001 and contacting the person fell through.

If any of you know of any shelters, or any guinea pigs in the south eastern Nebraska area please let me know (I am near other states such as Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas, and might be able to go to those areas if i have too)

If you have any other ideas on where to find a pig needing a home that would also be appreciated! I also guess i could check the classifieds in local newspapers, so I'll get on that!

*also, this does not need to be immediately, i do not mind waiting for one to come up! it also would need to be a boar or a spayed female, as my current piggies are boars and i do NOT need babies.

thank you in advance,
