Woopsadaisy Guinea Pig Rescue

13/01/2022

An empty exam room...
I've been quiet on here. Why?
Well, I've begun to focus the rescue's efforts on emergency cases. I had an issue always becoming full with miscellaneous surrenders, and constantly depleting the resources just to feed healthy pigs that sit here for months on end. I'd rather the rescue being rescuing, not just being a shelter.
Just this past Sunday a sweet little guy came to us. He had a severe URI. Im the end, the vet and I both opted to put him down when it was determined he had far worse issues coupled with his URI.
I'm sad for the loss of this little man's life, but I'm thankful the rescue could try to help him, and at least give him a peaceful end.
You can donate by going to our website www.woopsadaisy.com and following the donate button on the home page.

Responsibly rescuing since 2018!
Donations are a huge help for us to have a buffer for medical bills and also to always have feed and hay on hand. We never take in more piggies than we can handle and never have been in a predicament where we have to beg for funding. We would love to save all the piggies that were asked to be surrendered to us, but we have to make sure we take care of what we have here already and make sure we can always make room for emergencies.

The guinea pigs are really getting to me! I had a dream that they just kept appearing in my driveway! My husband told me that I said out loud "Quit leaving them on my doorstep!" Thankfully we do surrenders by appointment and haven't had a random drop off in 2 years now!

We are a small registered non-profit charitable organization located in South Central Ohio. We house roughly 25 piggies at a time in our home. Everyone on our Board of Directors works full time at their day job and helps run the rescue with the spare time they do have.
We may be small, but we don't over extend our selves and get burnt out. We take our mental, physical, and emotional health very seriously. At this time we have only been taking in emergency cases or returns due to personal life events.
If you have any questions about our organization feel free to reach out!
Our piggies are cared for like our own and interacted with daily. Please view our website www.woopsadaisy.com to see all of our available piggies, as well as adoption applications and fees.
Our adoption fees are below standard and we want our piggies to find great homes while also being able to cover their cost of stay here. Surrender fees also help cover their cost of stay as well.
Let us know if you have any questions, even if you just want to chat about your piggies, we're always down to talk!

Our crop of piggies is abundant this time of year! Consider adopting a pair or bonding a single with one you own!

On September 5, 2020, we transferred several piggies to Wheek Care Guinea Pig Rescue. Julene and her crew so generously offered to help us rehome them! On September 6, 2020, my now husband and I got married!
I have to just laugh at this video and my life and my husband. Boy did I get lucky finding a man who would help me load guinea pigs on an air plane the day before our wedding!

EDUCATIONAL POST for PIGGIE OWNERS: I urge all owners to pay close attention every day both am and pm to your piggies behavior. It can happen in hours that an underlying problem shows itself and your pig goes downhill fast. I feed my pigs both a large breakfast of veggies and a snack in the evening to make sure they come out hungry. Last night Rilo didn't come running and even when nudged he didn't want snack. When I reached to pick him up and he didn't move I knew. He is almost 4 and should be healthy and alert and hungry at all times. Owners know pigs never refuse to eat. Thankfully I keep a stocked medical kit and have Critical Care on hand. Dave stayed up with him all night force feeding and watching over him even rubbing his jaws when he wasn't chewing. Finally Rilo pushed out a "string" of small poops that indicated he had GI Stasis. Whatever has caused his stomach upset we may not know but the Critical Care moved it through and today he seems to be doing well. Please pay attention to your piggies everyday and watch for signs!

Hello! This little boy needs a new loving home.

He was born on October 17th, 2020. We had adopted a guinea pig from a pet store and it turned out that she was pregnant, this is one of the many babies. We call him Watermelon (short for Watermelon Sugar). He is currently housed alone because he was fighting with the other male pigs from his litter.

Honestly, he is very skittish and needs some extra loving to be able to open up and calm down.

Let me know if you are interested via the comments or direct messaging.

I am currently located in Athens, OH. Willing to potentially meet around Columbus or even Westlake, OH if you are willing to wait until mid-April.

I've been around too many guinea pigs! These look like piggy poops! 🤣

A free sample in every order!

Happy Valentine's Day!
We have several piggies looking for love 💕💕

Thank you to our followers for supporting Peggy and the Rescue.
After a second opinion, it was identified that Peggy had a congenital heart/lung defect. No matter how hard we would have tried to save her, she would never have survived to next week. If she didn't have internal issues, we would have done everything possible to keep her healthy and pain free, and provide extensive treatment for her so that she would live a happy piggy life.

Rescue is not always sunshine and happiness as this page may present sometimes. Behind the scenes it is full of heart ache, disbelief, anger, sadness, and motivation to do what is right. Peggy's parents and family came to us from a very neglectful home. Peggy was never meant to be with us, no matter how hard we tried to keep her around. She has taught me lessons in her short 48 hours of life, and will also teach those that have met her. Peggy's body was donated for a necropsy, where the vet will open her up and learn as much as possible about her condition. Guinea pigs, as common as they are, are deemed exotics and many vets that encounter them don't know much about their care. By providing Peggy's body as a learning experience, we can improve guinea pig veterinary medicine. I am a scientist in my personal life and understand the importance of research and documentation. In the guinea pig world, there just isn't enough. Although we couldn't save Peggy, Peggy will save many other lives.

Peggy is back at the vet.
The emergency vet let us down by not providing sedation for the procedure, pain medication or antibiotics.
Peggy deserves to have a go at her life, no matter what. She's come this far, so we will keep helping her as long as she needs us.
Please donated through PayPal to [email protected].
Donations help with veterinary care expenses. Without your help, Peggy wouldn't be able to receive the care she is being given today.

*Peggy update*

Peggy is back from the MedVet. She had to have her wounds debrided and the bone removed from her foot. She is mended up and was given fluids.
Peggy will need very intensive care to keep her healing, healthy, and alive.
If you would like to donate to Peggy's care, please PayPal [email protected]
Any amount is helpful!

I have been rescuing for three years now and have never come across such a sad case related to mothering. THIS is why I never suggest breeding guinea pigs, especially ones with an unknown history. Peggy's mom came from a neglectful situation along with 12 other guinea pigs. Just to see Peggy it was $114 to walk through the door. If you aren't prepared for the what-ifs, emergencies, or extensive care, don't get a guinea pig and definitely don't breed.

We have completely depleted our vet funds for sweet Peggy. Any form of donation, either food, bedding, healing thoughts and prayers, or monetary are truly appreciated. We can not do what we do without your support and help. :)

Please keep sweet Peggy in your thoughts. She is at MedVet for an emergency.
Not sure on prognosis.
Her momma came from a neglectful home. All of her litter mates were born dead, or died. Peggy began being chewed on by her momma. She had no ears and is missing toes on her left hind foot. Peggy is now being hand fed goats milk (thanks to my personal goat from my farm!) She is not an avid drinker, but will take a few drops. She is a tough little lady and deserves all the help she can get!

Location: Cleveland, OH.

Oreo is looking for a forever loving home.

He is a 2-year old strong and healthy boy, weights about 1400g, with cute crown on his head. He’s very smart, alert and chatty, likes to stand up for food and enjoyed swirl petting, not a cuddle lover though.

He recently had a bad fight with his two years roommate who is older, for dominance. It ended up with the older piggy injured and bleeding so I have to separate them permanently. Oreo enjoys companion and always call for attention, but not with my the other boy. I don’t want to keep him lonely in a small space, he deserves a loving family or a herd that accepts him.”

The best way to contact me will be this email: [email protected]

The risks associated with guinea pig pregnancies are so high. There is always a chance losing babies and even mom.
One of the most heartbreaking cases I had was a pregnant guinea pig came in. She delivered 5 very tiny babies. One by one they all passed away within hours of one another, and shortly after momma died.
It was so upsetting and all of this could have been prevented by not breeding and knowing the s*x of your guinea pigs.

Our sweet momma, Peaches, is doing great after quickly delivering FIVE adorable babies! Such a champ!!

Sadly, as way too often happens with piggies, we lost one of the babies despite taking over trying to resuscitate him as soon as Peaches gave up. RIP baby Quixote. We are sad your life was so brief. 💔 If you love your piggy at all, you will do everything possible to keep her from getting pregnant. We rarely have a large litter all survive, and sometimes even litters of one the baby and/or mom die. Any baby born at AGPR is because the mother came to us pregnant. We took in Peaches from the shelter as there is always the risk of the mother having any number of serious conditions develop even before the birth, or needing a costly c-section to save her and all the babies we can.

The four surviving babies are doing wonderful and are active and soooo adorable! We are NOT taking new applications for them, but if you had put in an application for pairing or a pair this past spring, please contact us if you are still interested. All babies and Peaches will only be adopted to be a pair or trio. They will be with AGPR through the holidays, so expect plenty of baby photos! 🥰

The face of instant regret!
She got a little stuck behind the pigloos, but no worries, she figured it out.

Contact Denise if you're interested!

Brownie is a brown and black Abyssinian and Marshmallow is a black and white American guinea pig. They are both ~ 8 month old females. We’ve had them for about 5 months. They are super sweet and they get along great together in the same cage. We are sad to have to rehouse them but our son is allergic.

We are located in Centerburg, OH. I have a cage, water bottles, food, hay, bedding and other supplies to go with them.
