Hi was wondering if anyone knew of a rescue in or around Mobile, Al? I am wanting to adopt a new piggie but have not had any luck finding one I would love to have the Peruvuian guinea pig.

Thanks for any replies :)

Have you looked in Kijiji?

I just checked, and there isn't any guinea pigs on there. But every once in a while there are good people looking to rehome their guinea pigs. Sorry I couldn't find any.

Do you have an SPCA in your area? Every so often they get guinea pigs.

Yes I have checked Kijiji and also craigslist. I think there is an SPCA here I will call them and see if they have any. Thanks for the help.

Have you checked www.petfinder.com and www.guineapighome.com ?

Watch out for breeders on those sites, esp. if you're looking for a fancier breed.

There is a Knoxville guinea pig rescue. You should check your local animal shelters too. Most do not advertise their exotics so call or go in person.

I think the Atlanta guinea pig rescue does adopt to your area so transport may be available.

Ok I have checked the shelters here in my area and they had no idea what I was talking about when I asked if they had any Guinea Pigs.

Don't give up, I had the same problem when I was looking for our piggie. Just keep your ears open and maybe leave your number with the shelters, just in case a guinea pig does come in.

Good luck!!

Thanks Sus4rabbits for the link you providing but I have a pig name Roger who the person that I adopted her from said he had took Roger to the vet 3 different times and on the 3rd visit it was 100% sure a boy so when I got Roger home I gave him a bath with my boy so that hopefully there would be no fighting well in Feb. Roger had 2 babies I counted down the days so that the 2 babies could be moved from her so that we did not have any more babies and I think I was a day late moving either the babies are the daddy because Thursday of last week she had a whopping 7 babies I hope to get pictures posted soon
