Lopouh,

This site is against breeding guinea pigs. If you want some help finding a rescue or shelter in Finland that you can adopt from, I'm sure that another forum member will be happy to assist you. We will not help you finding a breeder though. I'm sure there are guinea pigs that need to be adopted into loving homes somewhere near you, so there is no need to add to the animal overpopulation needlessly.

Sorry,
Thank you for answer

I'm going to love my pigs!
2 pigs - it's not very many, so I'll have time for each.

Laura220 is from Finland, maybe she can give you some advice as to where to adopt over there.

Do you have any animal shelters close to you? Ask them, maybe they will have a couple of homeless guinea pigs that need some loving.

Don't buy from breeders, they treat their guinea pigs very badly, they are often sick.

That is a great Idea Daftscotslass, in case you don't know Loupouh, you can send Laura220 a private message by clicking on the

However, she has not logged in here in over 2 weeks, it looks like she has AOL and MSN instant messaging set up though!

Good luck.

This is some information on why we do not like to see pigs bred or bought!

I think that homeless pig can be ill or old.

**Lopouh** · #11 03-31-06, 12:37 pm

Yes, I see this. But Laura220 wrote a yearago - in that topik

You are very wrong on that one. A pig in a shelter will have been checked by a vet and if there's anything wrong with them, they would be treated. Shelters often have babies that people drop off when they have an unwanted litter.

You are much, much more likely to get an ill pig from a breeder, because they do NOT care about their animals and treat them like objects.

Please, please adopt instead.

You can still check out those shelters Laura listed there. Or you could look in your local newspapers, maybe someone has pigs they don't want anymore. If your shelters don't have any pigs right now, you can wait and maybe they will in the future.

Year, I understoodwhat do you mean but we haven't shelters in Russia.

**Lopouh** · #14 03-31-06, 01:32 pm

I didn't know abt shelters of pigs. Dogs and cats - yes, I can find it from shelter but not pigs

**nonamian_girl** · #15 03-31-06, 01:34 pm

Call them just in case, maybe they can tell you about shelters that DO have them, and sometimes they have pigs and you just don't advertise it. OR, they could save your name and contact you when they DO hear about pigs.

Many cat and dog shelters may not take pigs, but they get calls about them. Many people here from all around the world have found pigs by contacting the shelters anyway, and then either the shelter knows of someone who has pigs, or they pass on your information if someone calls in.

Laura will know more about how it works in your country though, she may even know a private rescue that deals with just pigs!

**Ly&Pigs** · #17 03-31-06, 03:02 pm

I'm confused, your looking for a breeder in Finland and you live in Russia? Please find some pigs that are in a shelter/rescue and adopt. They are not always old nor are they ill. Many shelters have young baby cavies for adoption too.
