Re: On Behalf of some of the GOOD petshops.
So? Why don't you fill out an application, gather your supplies? Then when you get back, you can pick up your piggie, or just go to a shelter and see what they have? You're going to the pet store to hold them and get whoever they have.

How can you really tell with just a photo?

Some of them were cute but a bit too old.

Well I would need a general idea.

Re: On Behalf of some of the GOOD petshops.
So you're telling me that those animals aren't pretty enough or young enough for a forever home? That those poor pigger deserve to die or live in a shelter for who knows how long because they don't fit your somewhat narrow standards.

Or is it just easier to go to the pet store? Even after I took some of the work out of it for you?

Those are good websites but I am not sure about using them.

Re: On Behalf of some of the GOOD petshops.
I do not want to go through having them die a short time after getting them I also only faw one picture and did not like the guinea pig. I have found many I like but they aren't close.

Why not? It's not like you are ordering a pig with your credit card.

Why not use the websites. They are a valuble tool.

Final straw for me. You are on a ban for week. If you somehow manage to figure out what this forum is about when you are allowed back on, then maybe you'll be allowed to stay.

Don't feel bad. This was the first time I was able to guess who was resurected

Re: On Behalf of some of the GOOD petshops.
Wow. I am shocked at the "ugly" comments re: pigs for adoption.

We recently adopted a female guinea pig & we had no idea what she looked like when we agreed to take her in (from someone that my husband works with). It turns out that she is a beautiful mostly-black-and-white Peruvian.

This past week there was an ad on our local freecycle for a free male guinea pig. The first person didn't show up, so I got a call yesterday asking if I was still interested. I had responded to the ad because I was afraid of what could potentially happen to the "free" pig. It turns out that "he" is really a she, and she is a cute golden agouti abby.

Maybe we are weird, but we agreed to give these 2 pigs a new forever home sight unseen. I can't imagine saying that a guinea pig is too ugly to adopt. (!)

Re: On Behalf of some of the GOOD petshops.
I agree whole heartedly. We bought ours before I found this site and knew you could adopt. And like so many, our one sow was pregnant. We had no idea what the father looked like or what to expect. Some of them were absolutely beautiful and others are just as cute in their own little way. I don't know that there is such a thing as an ugly piggie.

Re: On Behalf of some of the GOOD petshops.
My second pig Dilly was partially site unseen. I went to the shelter to rescue a friend for my Daisy. They had one female GP in. She was hiding in her hidy house so I couldn't see her b
