Hello, my name is ASPEN I have quite a long story to tell. I came to MGPR last August. I was confiscated by animal control in Walterboro South Carolina when they raided a cock fighting facility. It was very apparent from my behavior and the behavior of my friends that we were not there as pets. The shelter could not find a nearby place for us and contacted MGPR. MGPR made room for us but we needed transport up. That was a whole other terrible experience. We hitched a ride with a dog rescue that was transporting dogs up north. We were in a panel truck stacked floor to ceiling for over 12 hours with dozens of barking dogs. It was awful for us little guinea pigs. So, we arrived in the wee small hours of the morning and thought everything was going to be great. Some of my friends were able to settle down right away. A few of us took longer and a few others remain scaredy pigs.

I went to a nice foster home and things seemed to be going well for me, but something happened that kind of put me off my food. After a dental and a lot of attention it was discovered that I had developed a true hate for the pellets the rescue uses. They have put me on an alternative pellet and I am doing great these days. My weight is up, and I am a sweet happy cuddle bug. I love to be held and I love my foster mom, but I have been in rescue almost a year now I am ready for a friend and a home of my own. If you adopt me, you will need to check my weight each week. No kidding every single week, and you will need to feed me a pellet called Selective. It is available on Amazon Prime for $16.09 or It is available from Petco for $9.69 with free shipping if you sign up for auto delivery. It is very possible that I will at some point need another dental. My teeth tip in a bit more than most guinea pigs creating a situation that would allow my teeth to over grow more quickly than most if something happens to put me off my food again.

That is my story in all it is glory. Is there a place in your heart and home for me? I will be waiting for you.

Clark Kent and Heirloom are a recently bonded pair. She is the more dominant of the two and Clark knows when he can approach her. They love eating veggies side by side and will willingly share their hay. Heirloom is a wonderful eater and enjoys all her veggies voraciously. She loves strawberries, cherry tomatoes, chard and any green veggies. She waits patiently for her food though she does squeaks if the delivery does not happen fast enough. Clark loves Heirloom and defers to her, he likes his dried foods  pellets, treats, and other nibbles. He will also eat veggies and like a good gentleman, he lets Heirloom get the choicest bits first. Clark is a very talkative boy at lap time and when they are both out on the lap for socializing, they can chat up a storm. At night, they put themselves to sleep in their own fleece tunnels and during the day, they like lounging under the fleece forest. Clark and Heirloom are a happy pair though they may occasionally squabble like any true couple. They have also learned to take treats by hand.

Does your boy need an adorable pal to run and play with? I'm athletic, proud, and shoutin' out loud that I am in charge. You want a quiet cuddle pig? I can be that too! My foster mom says I'm the best of both worlds. She also says I'm just the cutest little petite thing ever. I do, however, have the tendency to kiss with teeth so I'd be most suitable for someone aged 12+. I am so looking forward to my forever home. Maybe it can be with you! Put in an application!

Well the good news is that the people that bought me at a pet store decided to dump me early. Now maybe I can get on with the business of finding a serious forever home. I hope that's with you

I am not the Grammy-nominated reggae band but I'll be happy to sing for my supper....and breakfast....and lunch...and snacks. From a sweet grape to a crunchy carrot, I'm always ready for a treat. But it's kinda lonely here in my cage and I'd love to join a family that would appreciate a nice fella like me.

I know what you're thinking, but I'm so much more than just a pretty face. I appreciate an ear rub and will come a-runnin' when there's a treat being offered. If you don't offer a treat, I will remind you to do so with my precious wheeks. I'm up for a warm cuddle anytime, especially when there are mixed greens to nibble. I hope you have room for a little guy like me in your forever home.

Mary Sue is a sweet girl looking for a well deserved turn of good luck and a permanent, loving forever home. At her young age she's known too many homes, it's time for her to find her last one. She deserves it! She recently lost her companion and is doing okay but would be much happier with someone to spend her days with again.

Hello we are a sweet mother daughter pair. You would think that we needed each other because I Natasha am afraid with out my mom. Well that's not the case. My mom was treated badly and came out of a very stressful situation. She only managed to get to rescue a few hours before I was born. I keep telling her that the next place we go to live will be our safe haven forever home. Maybe you could adopt us and help me show my mom what unconditional love is. Please fill out an application to adopt us right away.

Do I look like a mango? My fur does! I am very pretty and have beautiful eyes. Like my sister Peaches, I eat everything you put in front of me! If you are lucky I will like you so you can adopt me.

Hey ladies I've got it all. I'm both handsome and personable. I'm curious about everything. It only took me about 10 minutes to start begging for treats when I got to my new foster home, so I'm pretty sure I'm the one for you. Fill out an application to adopt me today.

Astraea is an absolutely beautiful and sweet guinea pig! She loves being held and cuddling. Of course she loves her veggies (you can hear her wheeking from anywhere in the house!) but shes a funny eater. She doesnt like cucumber skin or the white parts of romaine, so she leaves them behind. Shes very tame and lovable. Her long hair does take some grooming so be sure to ask for some styling tips if you adopt her.

Hello. We are a sweet (read bossy) father / daughter pair. We are marked special needs because I, Miley, am not spayed. Because of our age the veterinarian didn't see the point in subjecting me to an elective procedure since daddy was already taken care of right after I was born. We are a lively sassy team that knows exactly how we want you to run your home. Us first and we demand it. Everything else after. When they coined the term piggy slave they were talking about our owners. We will get you trained up in no time.

Hello, What do you think about my name. The first minute that the person at MGPR looked at me she said aren't you a cutie pie and that was all the thinking that needed to be done about a name for me. I'm a very social little lady. I've been living alone but I'd like a friend I think. I need a human too. My human was deployed and his family couldn't keep me. I was obviously very spoiled and loved by him so a really super devoted human is on my wish list too.

Hello I'm number 58. MGPR is going to be calling me that to remind people that in some cases guinea pigs are tagged through their ears for identification purposes.They say boo to that. Every guinea pig should be easily identified by it's owners. If you have too many to easily tell them apart then you just plain have too many.
