First, at 10:31 am this morning my piggy, Joanie, passed away.
She had been ill and I had been back and forth to vet. But her little body just gave out.
She was my last pig and I would like to get more. I have a great 3x5 c&c, 60 lbs of hay, a lot of Guinea pig knowledge, and a ton of love to give.
I contacted the rescue where I got Joanie because there was a neutered male I was interested in adopting as a cage mate for Joanie before her health got so precarious. I found out today that he was recently adopted.
However, they do have a recent application for a surrender like 4 hours away from me. A lady with 3 females. A 2 yr old female and 2 8 month old females. They have asked if I would be interested in fostering or adopting them.
I have never fostered a pet before but I imagine it is the same as fostering in general and I keep and care for them till they find a permanent home.
But I do have concerns about adopting directly from another person. And considering how people do not take care of pigs, I am concerned that I might be stepping into health issues due to poor diet and lack of care.
So, I guess I would like to hear from folks who have served as fosters about your experiences.
And those who have adopted directly from someone surrounding.
Thanks in advance for any perspective
