Merry Pigmas everyone!

This is us trying to capture 20 piggies this week living outdoors in Olivehurst. Please stop dumping you pets. This is what you help us do when you donate. Multiple days at dawn and dusk, multiple volunteers. Please consider a fully tax deductible donation to the nonprofit for year end. Gardnerspigpen.com, Venmo: or below.

It’s ! Every dollar you donate helps me rescue babies like this who came in with 13 others who are all on pregnancy watch for 59-72 days! Donate on my website www.gardnerpigpen.com, Venmo or below. Thank you in advance!

Looking for a nonprofit to help on ? The piggies could sure use your help! In the last two weeks I’ve had 30 intakes(pictures are of 9 from yesterday) to add to the 67 already in custody. Many are pregnant and my foster families and I are already at max capacity. Every $1 helps feed and provide veterinary care for these adorable critters.
Two ways to donate. www.gardnerspigpen.com or Venmo . Also if you work for a company that matches donations I am enrolled through Benevity for corporate matching! Thank you all in advance!

This case has haunted me since it started. Things need to change and it needs to start with the pet stores model of selling animals with zero education.

Happy Guinea Pig Appreciation Day! Miguel and all the other rescued piggies appreciate your continued support of the rescue through donations and volunteering and adoptions. Shortly after this photo Miguel showed his appreciation by peeing on me. 🤣
