Hi everyone.
With 30 in the rescue right now, i am at my max with critters, but after recieving the following email from Marci at Have a Heart gp rescue in NJ, I couldn't do nothing and let all of these pigs get euthanized in shelters. As of yet, i have not had to find foster homes because i have had enough room in the rescue to house all of the piggies. So, i have been looking for foster homes and have managed to find 4 so far that are willing to foster 8 pigs total. Hopefully i will get a few more fosters and have space to take about 10 or so of these poor neglected piggies in.

Here is the email i got from Marci, which was sent to her from a shelter in PA:

We recently rescued 50 - 70 guinea pigs from decrepid conditions,
in a barn, in Schuylkill County PA. We are urgently looking for
homes for these piggies. They are all friendly, and most are
healthy. There are a lot of pregnant females, and tons and tons
of boys. And piggies of all ages. they lived in a barn on top of
2 feet of their own feces, with barely enough water or food. We
found dead ones, sick ones, babies, and everything. We are in
desperate need of homes right now. Our shelter cannot support 70
guinea pigs. Please help us!

I called Marci yesterday and she is bringing most of the piggies into her rescue. I will be bringing about 10 of the piggies into my rescue in a few weeks once i get back from vacation.

Please, if anyone lives near Florence, NJ or Wallingford, PA please become a foster parent for some of these horrible mistreated piggies

I adopted my girls from Have-A-Heart. I wish you and Marci good luck and if I can do anything, I'll try.

This is awful!! I truly hope others can come forward to help foster. Sadly I live in england.

I have so much respect for you people!

**HandcuffedAngel** · #4 08-02-06, 01:55 pm

I really wish I could help.

Best of luck in finding them good new homes.

Wow, there's been a lot of new piggies surrendered in this area lately. I'll try my hardest to foster some, we had a similar discussion last night, but my parents said no. I'll see what I can do.

If need be, I live about 3 hours away, in theBInghamton area, I may be able to foster some. I have 5 but 3 will be going to new homes in the next 2-3 weeks.

Just as a note, the thread "PA pigs are in need of deperate help" is referring to the same cruelty case as the one in this thread. Just to help unconfuse people

eww that is like a trash can!! poor little creature....can they at least clean up the place and buy some new stuff...the feeding thingy is nasty and the cage is dirty and old the ceiling is creepy.....>.< everything is gross.......that's cruel!

**KPIGGY** · #11 08-06-06, 12:42 pm

That is awful beyond words.
I wish you all the best in finding good homes for all the guinea pigs.

**ILoveCavies** · #12 08-06-06, 02:04 pm

That's so wrong!

At least now they have a chance for a better life.

**HowietheGreat** · #13 08-06-06, 06:07 pm

I can't believe anything lived there. It isn't fit even for insects. Any infection would surely turn into gangrene. That is just beyond sad. I'm at a loss for words.

**fourbwabbys** · #14 08-06-06, 06:11 pm

I'm at loss how someone can even do that? They deserve to live in the sewers to see how it feels.

sealpupjd · #15 08-06-06, 06:50 pm

That is toatally discusting!! How can anyone even think anything should live in those conditions??? Poor babies, I am glad they have a better chance at being happy and loved now. I may be able to foster still, in a few weeks, though.

What a disgrace! I feel so bad for those pigs, makes me cry. I wished I didn't look at those pictures but I just had to see for myself how bad the conditions really were.

IMO, they should make that guy live in that barn for a few years.

**Guinea_Gal** · #17 08-09-06, 04:19 pm

I agree!!!

**fourbwabbys** · #18 08-09-06, 04:31 pm

I might be able to foster one! I won't get a final answer from my parents until the weekend, though.

**armywife82** · #19 08-09-06, 05:18 pm

That breaks my heart to see that. I live in Oklahoma or I would try to help out.
