Anyone able to help me?

eva · Mar 8, 2011

Hi I am hoping someone might be able to help me? I would really like to give two girl pigs a home I have not got any rescues close by I have looked though pages and pages on the pig rehome bit and found nothing close to me

I live in Northampton and I can't drive so it would have to be close by. I was hoping someone might have so info if not I will have to go to the pet shop which I was quite happy to do before looking around on here at all the sad storys of piggies needing homes

HI i'm sure someone will advise you, probably tomorrow when everyone will be back on again

I'll also let furryfriends know as she's in Northampton

Some of the rescues rehome nationally. Off the top of my head I think Walsall RSPCA does. We can often help to organise a piggy train through the forum.

You could also try posting in the Rescue Centre Wanted Section (I think I've got that right!) so rescues can easily spot your post as well.

There's a list of rescues here http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=118
There's one in Kettering, I don't know them but I'm guessing someone has recommended them as they're on this list.
I think Honeybunnys in Leicester rehome nationally as well.

Yes Katiepops is right, Honeybunnies in Leicester does rehome nationally as do many other rescues so its worth having a look and contacting a few

There is a site called preloved aswel, you could try that.

Just wanted to say I hope you manage to find the perfect rescue piggies. It's lovely that you are trying to find a rescue rather than buying from a pet shop.

Hi everyone I am going to sounds really thick here but what do you mean when you say rehome nationally? Its just I cant get to anywhere as I don't drive

Furry Friends I have not heard of them where abouts are they in Northampton I would love it if I could have some rescue piggies. I feel quite sad after reading all the storys

These little piggies give us humans sooo much it is so wrong that we mistreat them in anyway reading some of the storys I would love to treat these people in the way they find it ok the treat our little friends!

Furry Friends is a moderator on here who I think lives in your neck of the woods, so may be able to help out.

Rehoming nationally is often done through piggy trains, so say for instance, you would like to adopt to rescue pigs that are currently in rescue, or with a fosterer 50 miles away from you, members of the forum who live on the route will often offer to help out if they are travelling that way to bring them to you. x
Hope this helps.
