MD/DC/VA Rescue needs adopters and fosterers

(I hope this is the right section)

Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue recently took in a rescue of 22 guinea pigs, which is now up to 29 after just some of the pregnant females have delivered.

A guinea pig lover organized a great fundraiser for us, raising almost $1,200! This will go a long way toward the $2,000 it will cost to care for these pigs, in addition to their vet checks, spays and neuters.

What we really need now are fosterers and adopters, as many of these guinea pigs are now available for adoption! We are presently unable to take in new guinea pigs, and new fosterers would help us save guinea pigs from euthanization in area shelters.

Fosterers have all costs covered, except for veggies, and receive a discount on supplies for their own pigs. You don't even need a car!

Please let us know if you're interested in adopting a pig, or fostering, by filling out an application. Please view all of our available pigs here.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Re: MD/DC/VA Rescue needs adopters and fosterers

I unfortunatly live in a small DC apartment and don't have room for another C&C cage. However, I would be interested in helping out in other ways. Could I help with outreach? Pig-sitting for foster parents? Etc. Let me know!

Re: MD/DC/VA Rescue needs adopters and fosterers

Clarion we can always use volunteers! I know transport can be a big issue (maybe I just think that because I don't have a car so that's one way to help out. There's lots of stuff though! If you email info@ mgpr.org I bet that Steve (one of our directors) could give you lots of ways to get involved.

Thanks so much Clarion!

Re: MD/DC/VA Rescue needs adopters and fosterers

After going home last night, I realized that I could easily rearrange things in my piggy corner to fit another cage. If I were to become a foster parent, would I have to purchase a cage or do you have ones available to lend?

Re: MD/DC/VA Rescue needs adopters and fosterers

We supply the cages-we pay for everything but veggies in fact

That would be great if you could foster!!
