I have to say that the key to this is getting the word out somehow.

I was one of those that was going to buy a piggie..Or get one from a friend who owns a pet store. If I didn't find one to adopt, I was going to buy one since I wanted to give it as a gift to my son who has wanted one. (PLEASE no lectures about kids with piggies, he's ready and I am going to really be doing all the work and happy to )Well, thanks to the help of Socal and many others in the forums, I am completely NOT ever going to buy one. All it takes is doing some research and seeing the many beautiful little piggies that are in such need. AND it keeps growing!
It's SO sad and I cannot wait to adopt two little ones to bring them out of their temporary homes. I am having no luck either..but it's been close. So that has just motivated me to do some more research and keep trying. I decided I am going to set up the cage and put everything in it AND the best part is that I am going to print a picture of a cute guinea pig and put it in the cage. This way my son will know he got one for Christmas but then realize that we did not get it yet. We will tell him that we will all look for one/two to adopt. It will be a happy family thing to do. I cannot wait!

Thanks Socal. You have been great! Everyone who helped in my other threads..thanks so much!

Let's try to somehow get the word out there. How great would it be to have a commercial telling people to go look to adopt ALL kinds of animals instead of buying. I know it would be so expensive to do that..but too bad we cannot find someone who can.
Well..thank goodness that some check the internet. I honestly did not even realize this was happening. I guess I was ignorant so to speak.

BOY HAVE I LEARNED.
