Want to Adopt: Help?

[Mary16866]

I recently got a female guinea pig from a pet store(I know, I shouldn't have but whats done is done.) and I want to get her a friend but I don't want to get one from a pet store since I've realized just how many there are that need homes, but I've been having trouble finding some that are close to me that are female. I've checked petfinder, local shelter, I cant travel far so this makes it hard. Im in Pennsylvania.

There are 4 rescues listed here http://www.guinealynx.info/rescue_organizations.html#PA

There is also Guinea Pig Home - Home and craigslist classifieds: jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, events, forums

My advice is be patient one will turn up that needs a home. Check the shelter, classifieds, craigslist, pet finder, etc. Sometimes if you have a vet nearby they sometimes get surrenders as well. You could always leave contact information with the vet to contact you if they get a guinea pig in need of a home.

Where in Pennsylvania are you? Im in Indiana and there is a few rescue groups that I can give you links to.

Piggie Lovers Inc. Guinea Pig Rescue
Starfish To the sea Animal Rescue
Pet adoption: Want a dog or cat? Adopt a pet on Petfinder


The first two are in Latrobe and Lucernmines. I adopted one of my pigs from Piggie Lovers Inc. they are fantastic there! Check out adoption tells and if you see Ash that's one of my babies!

Hope that helps!

Even if those rescues are a bit far, contact them anyway. Some will help with transportation.
