The Free State Guinea Pig Rescue

Congratulations to Rex and Rosie on their bonding sessions today with Fred (neutered male) and Neville. Both found new roommates. Yay!! 😁

Some more pictures of this cute girl! Love me some Cookie Monster!

06/16/2024

Cookie Monster is off pregnancy hold. Turns out she’s just a plus size model with a super sized personality. She is darling and wants a home with a seasoned Guinea pig owner, who understands a girl’s needs. Cookie would love to be the center of attention. It’s possible she could bond with another female or neutered male, but at this point she hasn’t seemed interested in having a roommate. So a separate cage next to a Guinea pig friend will be best for her.

Chuck is still looking for his fur-ever home. Please come meet him soon!

Rex and Henry are now ready for a new home.

Henry is a rock and roll dude. He likes his hair long and his music loud. Henry is out going and loves attention. But he’s still learning about being a lap pig.

Rex is so much more shy than Henry. He tends to hide in his hut only coming out to get a treat.

This is Officer Judy. She has been at the rescue a while and would LOVE a home where she can have a more room to roam and a warm lap to watch movies. She is a couple years old and needs to be spayed, before moving to her new family.

BUT, here’s what she had to offer: a little sass, and lots of love. She is the sweetest rabbit I’ve ever met and loves attention. Judy loves treats and wants a family to call her own.

Would you consider being her hero? Please reach out for more information about adopting her.

Congratulations to S’mores on his successful bonding date. Wilbur a Free State grad was needing a new roommate, so his family brought him in for a bonding date. Wilbur and S’mores hit it off, and after a little rumbling and hu***ng, the two boys settled in for some lettuce and a nap. Yay! Congratulations boys!

Henry and Rex seem to have hit it off. I’d like to give Henry a week to adjust to his new life and then he and Rex will be available to adopt to a specially approved home. Rex has had a rough go at life and will need a very calm home with lots of TLC.

Congratulations to the Princess for finding her new home! She and Luna are older ladies that will enjoy their golden years munching hay and lounging in their fleece beds. ❤️

This hunk is Chuck. Chuck is hoping to meet his person who will teach him how to become a lap pig. He’s a big boy who looks like a ground hog. Who’s looking for a sweet boy full of sass? 🤩😘

04/25/2024

This is Polydactile Perry. He’s a gigantic beast of a Guinea pig. He is in need of a kind gentle person who will give him the time and attention he needs to become a lap pig. In addition to his big personality, he has 2 additional toes on each paw. ❤️

This is Butterscotch! This handsome hunk of fur is so talkative and sweet like butterscotch! He wants all the love and attention. Currently, he’s bonded with Zuko, but we might be able to bond him with another single male. He’s ready for his forever home! ❤️

This is Cookie from behind. She’s a big girl!

03/31/2024

This is Cookie Monster. Remember the scared little girl that was found by an apartment dumpster? She’s becoming a sweet little snuggler. But she’s still on pregnancy hold. But she’s looking for her forever home. Today she got her nails trimmer for the first one. Who ever had her, probably never had her nails trimmed!

This is couple of the Wheek! Oreo is the smooth coat boy. He’s 1.5 to 2 years old and he’s paired with Reese’s, who is a 3 year old female. Reese came to me 2 years ago pregnant. I soon found out that this was her second pregnancy. I promised her she would never have to have babies again! Oreo is neutered and could be paired with another female. But I’d like to keep him bonded with Reese’s. Oreo is quite timid and so is Reese’s, but once you have them in your lap, they are happy as clams and LOVE treats! Start spring with this cute couple and let them melt your heart with sweet piggy kisses! ❤️

This is Snickers and Auggie. Two of the cutest most outgoing boys you’ll meet. Snickers (the smooth coat) thinks he should model for Calvin Klein. Auggie is just a fun guy. Both want treats and to be snuggled. Won’t you consider adopting them? Snickers was born here at the rescue 2 years ago on April 1st. Auggie came to the rescue last summer and is about 1.5 -2 years old.

Bachelor of the Wheek! This is Chuck. He’s a shy guy looking for a warm lap to be loved and spoiled.
Chuck is about 2.5 years old and intact, so needs to be paired with another male or neutered before pairing with a female piggy.

03/14/2024

It’s a gorgeous day in Kansas. Days like today mean it’s a perfect day to bring the girls outside for some grass and sun.
***note: never leave your pets unattended outside and never set the direct sun light if it’s more than 70 degrees out. Wild animals will prey and on your pet or they can overheat in the sun.

Cookie is still unwinding from the trauma of being dumped. She is learning to trust humans but is still nipping when I move my hand too fast. Earning her nickname Cookie Monster.

02/25/2024

Congratulations to Chloe and her new friend Violet. We were able to bond these two girls and now Chloe has gone to her forever home! Pinch me! I’m so happy!

February has been a good month at the rescue. We have had 3 piggies adopted out and taken in 3.

Unfortunately, Bob Ross crossed the rainbow bridge this past week after having been sick a short time.

Congratulations to Possum and Pedro! They went to their new home today. ❤️

02/13/2024

This is a great explanation of how to s*x a Guinea pig.

01/12/2024

Happy snow day! We have 2 new boys that arrive a couple of days ago. Meet Possum and Pedro!
These two boys are young and vivacious. Pedro is very interactive and Possum is a little more reserved. They are looking for their forever home to be treated like kings and spoiled with fresh fruits and veggies 🥕

Happy New Year from all the piggies at Free State Rescue!
Below you will see some stats about the rescue. I haven’t kept strict records as far as money because I’m not a recognized non-profit. I’m small and run this rescue out of my home. However, I do this because I want to ensure there is a safe place for unwanted small furries to go when families can’t take care of their pet Guinea pigs.

Some numbers for the year:
Vet bills: ~$600.00
Piggies Adopted out: 4
Rainbow piggies: 4
Intakes: 11 Guinea pigs and 1 rabbit.
Farthest intakes: Springfield, Missouri
Current animals in care: 20 Guinea pigs and 1 rabbit.

My approximate running cost is $150 a month for food and bedding. This DOES NOT include vet bills or any other extenuating circumstances. I run strictly off donations and my own pocketbook.

Please, as always, Adopt don’t Shop! And drop me a text or DM if interested in adopting.
Wishing you the very best in health and prosperity in 2024 ❤️
