There are no homeless Guinea Pigs where I live FALSE
Just because the local shelters are not overflowing with guinea pigs does not mean that you cannot find one or more needing a loving home in your area.
Many shelters do not house guinea pigs, and if they get them in, put them to sleep almost right away, or turn them away at the door. If you are looking for guinea pigs, start at your local shelter or Petfinder.com If you cannot find one available, contact the nearest rescue to you; some are willing to drive a distance to place a Guinea Pig in the right home. Other places to check are newspapers, pet supply store posting boards, Freecycle listings, Craigslist, and of course, the adoptables section on both
Cavy Cages and Guinea Lynx!
With a little waiting you will have more Possible Guineas to take in then you know what to do with!
The sad fact is, Guinea Pig overpopulation is often not a behind the scenes problem.
