The Critter Connection, Inc. has many rescue pigs looking for homes. Photos of the pigs are on our petfinder website www.critter.petfinder.com and information on our rescue can be found at our new website www.ctguineapigrescue.org. We are also looking for foster homes.

Cindy, The website looks awesome. To anyone who is looking to adopt around the New England area I would highly suggest this rescue. I adopted two guinea pigs from them in June 2005. They were so nice and great to work with and now I have two of the most perfect guinea pigs I could ever ask for. Good luck finding homes for all the guinea pigs Cindy!

Your rescue has saved some really cute pigs! It mad me sad reading about the three that were found in the park! How can people be so cruel? You can treat mites with out that high of an expense, if you just do some research. But, unfortunatly sick people think it is easier to "dump" them off in a park, to die of starvation and/or getting eaten by a dog or cat. OH, bless you for caring for them and helping them!!! Kudos to you! :0)

They're all so cute. How could anyone resist those faces? Too bad we can't save them all from the horrible conditions alot of these piggies come from.

Thank you Moxie :-)) We try to save as many as we can. We are the last "stop" for all the pigs that come in so those that aren't adoptable stay permanently. It has been a saddening and wonderful experience having so many adorable pigs come through the rescue. Getting to know all the individual personalities is a joy. Having to deal with the sick and dying is heart wrenching. But we keep on going. Thank you for your kind words.

Good thing they have a good place to go then w/ you Critter Connect. Just think when the sick and dying come to you at least they're in a good, safe place and hopefully go on to the other life very happy.

Becky, don't give up. Many shelters don't post the guinea pigs that they get in. Have you checked out this site www.guinealynx.com Sometimes folks post there when looking to place their piggies or if there are piggies that are in shelters but not on Petfinder

**Herbie Girl** · #11 09-21-05, 09:38 am

I went to all the sites but no such luck in Houston... I will still search

Have you checked the Houston SPCA? I heard they had a few piggies a couple of weeks ago. Stay safe during the hurricane which they say is heading your way.

**Herbie Girl** · #13 09-21-05, 01:54 pm

I checked their website and no such luck but I hear they don'tpost all their animals..I called and they told me I would just have to go look..maybe after the storm and my son is completely over strep..
