If you want instant gratification you can always go to the shelter. At least that way you aren't supporting a pet store. You still have the same chance of a mis sexed piggie however. They are working in a gov't or volunteer funded angency.

I know how to sex a piggie.

Ahhh, but will you have the time? Most stores don't like it when you manhandle the merchandise and most shelters have a huge line up and want people out quick. You usually don't get to handle the pig before you buy.

I have held the guinea pigs there before and I would make sure they checked. They even ask each other what they think there.

I am considering adoption thoughm but I didn't find any I liked too close by the ones I liked best were 1-2 states away.

Well if I knew what state you lived in I could help you. Even when I lived out in the boondocks I could always find a shelter.

Maryland (zip is 21784)
I typed it in but the only ones I liked a lot were in PA

alfie, I believe you have been ask numerous times where you live so that we can help you find a place to adopt a piggie. Have you yet to tell us or are you just to ignorant to accept help and would rather make excuses. This is getting old. So many of your posts are contradictory.

alfieiheartu · #48 07-03-05, 11:31 am

Ok thats crazy hello? I just told you and I told many other people on other boards.

**Sabriel** · #49 07-03-05, 11:33 am

Well, appearantly your post was the same time as mine so it was not there when I typed this. So sorry. Um, pa is not that far. In fact I have three 8 week old female babies. My son would like to keep one but the others are up for grabs if anyone is interested. Where in Maryland. Where I am in PA is an hour from the Maryland state line in two different directions.

Yes but there is only one guinea pig and it was ugly (to me at least)

**Sabriel** · #52 07-03-05, 11:35 am

This one is in your state and has a piggy too:

I live in sykesville which isn't too close to the border (I don't think)

**NewGPMom** · #54 07-03-05, 11:37 am

ok, here we go again. Where in Maryland. I might be able to work something out with you. If you can't find one in a rescue or shelter you like, then a private adoption is the next best thing--certainly better than buying from a pet store.

alfieiheartu · #55 07-03-05, 11:37 am

Thanks but I need a picture.

**NewGPMom** · #56 07-03-05, 11:38 am

okay, sykesville. Sounds kind of small town or closer to Virginia line. Is it?

alfieiheartu · #57 07-03-05, 11:39 am

I already said I live in Sykesville.

alfieiheartu · #58 07-03-05, 11:39 am

Oops sorry didn't see your post.

**Sabriel** · #59 07-03-05, 11:39 am
