Congratulations to Bunny on her new home! She spent time with a foster and then the foster family decided Bunny needed to stay forever.

I love happy endings and Bunny deserves the best. Thank you Baltz family!

These two lovely but shy girls just arrived. Their names are Winnie and Roo. They are 3 years old and would love a knowledgeable Guinea pig person to help the build the trust.

A few weeks ago I signed the piggies up for the Guinea pig secret Santa. The other night I arrived home to find a package from a donor on my front porch! All 30 Guinea pigs at the rescue would like to say “Thank you! To the generous donor (not sure if you would like to stay anonymous)

What a great treasure for the Guinea pigs. They are on cloud nine! The money donated will go for treats.

Thank you so much! 😊 ❤️

Hi Friends and family!!

The holidays are upon us and the sweet little piggies at the rescue are hoping that you might remember them during the holidays. We are in need of donations to help defray the cost of caring for 30 Guinea pigs currently receiving care in our rescue. This year we had a LOT of vet expenses. 3 surgeries and a variety of other things that required vet care. Nearly all vet expenses came out of my pocket and have required the use of Care Credit. The exception is one family, who chose to donate $500 towards the eye surgery Oreo needed to save his life. I’m so thankful for their generosity!! ❤️

However, the longer I run this rescue, the more I realize how important the rescue is for our community. The rescue provides a safety net for the small and furry, who have no voice and are considered “disposable” by people who don’t value their lives. Of course, there are some situations where families have fallen on hard times, and they are forced to make the hardest decision. That is to surrender their pet.

The following is a list of things we could use:
-tobramycin eye drops
-neo-poly-dex eye ointment
-paper bedding
-aspen bedding
-Timothy and orchard hay
-oxbow food, vitamin c tabs
-dried pea flakes
-1 cc syringes
-5cc syringes and 21x1 poly hub needles
-silver sulfadiazine cream (wound care)
-Revolution for puppies/kittens (need 30 tubes)
-baby gas drops
-fresh fruits and veggies donated each month (even a $10 donation of this item from 4 different people each week a month would be a tremendous help!

I’m not a registered 501c non-profit, therefore ALL expenses come out of my expenses come out of my pocket or donations. I’m save all receipts for medical bills and can provide documentation of expenses if anyone has questions. Any donations are GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you for considering a donation towards the care of our sweet little piggies!

-Angela

Hi all!
I’m trying something a little different. I have created a photo album exclusively for piggies available to adopt. Over the next few weeks, my goal will be to get pictures of all available piggies and place their picture in that album. As they get adopted I will remove pictures. I’m a teacher, so it’s going to take me time to get this completed as finals are coming, grades and a few IEP’s to sprinkle in with all of that! 🤪oh…and the holidays. So stay tuned and go ahead and sneak a look. 👀 there are a few long timers in there. Snickers and Brownie are still in foster and would love to have a home or their own.

On these cold winter nights a warm Guinea pig and a hot cup of tea are just what the heart and soul need. Won’t you consider adopting Bunny to be your snuggle pig?

**Bunny needs an experienced piggy owner. Due to some trauma in her past, she can be defensive. But she would dearly love to be the center of someone’s world and be treated like the queen she is.

If you would like to meet Bunny, please reach out to schedule a meet and greet. 🎄❤️🥹

Some of the piggies did a Christmas 🎄 list for Chewy. We are hoping Santa 🧑‍🎄 comes with some treats!

Chewy Claus is here to make your pets' holiday wishes come true. Pen a letter to Chewy Claus and your wish may get fulfilled at Chewy's workshop.
