ATTENTION EVERYONE: I've just been informed that Terramycin eye ointment is going back on script.

FIRST AND FOREMOST: Thank you Alyssa Good, for doing an emergency pick up to save 2 guinea pigs that were in the back seat of a car that was in an accident. You ate their hero!

EMERGENCY TRANSPORT: And now, we need to get transport from Breezewood to New Kensington for these 2 sweet girls. Transport can be either Thursday or Sunday, the 2 days Alyssa is able to meet half way.

Any help on transport and donations for travel would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. (PayPal:[email protected]; Venmo: wheekcare2017).

Meet Elizabeth, a 1ish piggie. Her previous owner literally was planning on feeding her to their python because she was "just another animal they had to feed." She was rescued by a member in this group and brought to the rescue.

When she got her tonight, she was TERRIFIED! Impossible to catch and frozen in fear to be held.

Enter Karissa! My 9 year old junior volunteer and my "assistant" who specializes in socializing the really scared piggies.

This was Elizabeth in 10 minutes of being held. In a few days, Elizabeth is going to make someone a wonderful friend.

Thank you Matt, Tera and Karissa.

IT'S IN!! Wheek Care is so GRATEFUL to all those who donated towards the repair costs of a new air conditioner. This ensures that the piggies will be safe during the upcoming hot summer.

And we want to give a huge shout out to Brian Reese and his helper, Doug, for fitting us in his schedule so quickly.

THANK YOU everyone for your support.

PLEASE READ:

Hi everyone! Usually, we don't permit rehoming posts in this group, but today we've made an exception for Carly Marie of Atlantic Critters Rescue. This post is an article and some ugly pictures of an UGLY and HORRIBLE situation that some UGLY, HORRIBLE AND ABHORRENT human created for 201 guinea pigs. Sadly, 4 didn't make it, but 197 are now being evaluated and looking for foster homes and permanent homes.

The piggies are currently at South Regional Animal Shelter, Bridgeton, NJ, and being helped by Atlantic Critter Rescue.

An undertaking of this magnitude is emotionally and financially draining.

Anyone interested in giving a financial donation may do so by: Venmo: Atlantic_critters_rescue; PayPal: [email protected].

If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please post on Carley's thread and she will get in touch with you.

Remember, it takes a community to help these little ones. Please consider helping. No amount is too small.

Carley Marie's post is as follows:

URGENT! South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter is in crisis, 200 guinea pigs were removed from a hoarding situation in Bridgeton NJ. All females are pregnant and the guinea pigs are filthy and in bad shape. We will help but we need to secure funds, adopters, and fosters.

Please message us if you can foster or adopt, or consider donating to help this dire situation. Sharing this post to spread the word is just as helpful.
