We gave a home to Cookie and Treacle, they arrived from Walsall RSPCA. Many thanks to Becky and her mom Sandra for rescuing the girls and letting us give a forever home to them.

I adopted the stunning Finley pig in September this year from Walsall RSPCA. These were the pigtures of him that stole my heart instantly - I am so lucky to have him, he really is the most loving piggy who is happy to sit and snuggle for hours as long as there are chin rubs every now and again! x)

[Wiebke]

This is going to be a bit embarrassing! But I rehomed:

Tanni and Hywel (who came as replacement for Llewelyn) from Cheylesmore Rescue in Coventry; Tanni on 4th January and Hywel in February.

Cataract girl Tegyd from Crawley GP Rescue arrived in June

Then we needed a husboar for Tegyd and Taffy, so my two blind girls went dating at RNGP Welfare in Rugby in July and came back home with this handsome guy here.

In October, I picked up these two stunners from All About the Animals:

And just two days ago, I made a trip to Glynneath Rescue for this little cutie here:

You like to travel Wiebke

This year I have gone form having all boys to adding girls, making three of my boys very happy with their new wives.
First was Matilda who came to live with Hector from The Wheek and Squeak on 15 May.

Then sisters Poppy (formely Feta) Black and white one who's camera shy, unlike George!

and Penny (formely Emmental) came to live with brothers George (with Poppy) and Gerry (with Penny) on 13 November from Rugby Rabbit and Guinea Pig Welfare.

This year we played host to a few piggies as fosters from Suzygpr, and 2 of those lovelies returned later as permanent residents.

I rehomed the beautiful Starsky last Saturday (10th December) from the lovely Jenny at Crawley GPR. He is happily settled in and is currently squeezed into the smallest house with two of his wives!

My first rescue pig, but I'm sure he will be the first of many to join our family as mum will be looking for sows to join her newly nuetered boy in the new year!

What a great, uplifting thread! This is what it's all about!

Jeff came to me from the Bristol Cats and Dogs Home (RSPCA) - I started volunteering there in March 2011 and fell in love with him immediately! He was a lone boar, separated from his male friend due to fighting. He eventually came home with me in April 2011. He's the most delightful little thing ever!

And then there's Cameo! Jeff and my then trio of boys were boarded at All About The Animals in Wales while I moved house in July, and Jeff chose himself Cameo as a wife! She's completely adorable and they are head over heels in piggy love!

And the two of them together!

Who knows what next year may bring!

I rehomed the beautiful Butterscotch from Allan (tillythepig) with the West Suffolk RPSCA.

But sadly I had him put to sleep just 6 weeks later (1st July) because he had a hernia and then developed severe bloat three days after his operation 8...8...

Amelia came from Walsall RSPCA, she was their first rescue of the year on 1/1/11. She came home with us in March after a lot of veterinary visits and is a wonderful little girl.
Some members may remember this thread:

Our first encounter with Amelia:

Little porky piggy now:

Olivia was born in the rescue and she came to us at six weeks old in April, very loud bossy boots and has taught the other little four piggies they live with to wheek as loud as possible, to run and vault into the piles of hay and disappear :

Our first encounter, 4 days old:

My, hasn't she grown...:

Sharing noms with some of the other girlies:

The summer came and we rehomed a married couple from a member on here, OH named them Bruce and Sheila - they are adorable. Sheila wears the trousers in their house.

Bruce is just sooo laid back, big and cuddly:

Sheila likes to take her pick of the bedrooms:

We adore all 15 of our piggies, they rule our home and lives but couldn't be without them.

Oh what a beautiful boy and how very sad for you both

This thread is as lovely as the Secret Santa one. Wouldn't it be lovely if some of the Secret Santa piggies who aren't permanent residents appeared on a thread like this this time next year.

I love this thread!

Peanut passed away in February so after a long time deliberating and searching for boar dating I found The Potteries Guinea pig rescue and took Fuzzy dating and we came home with Tyler, aged six weeks at the end of June. He was part of a litter from a mis sexed p@h pairing. They now have the loveliest of relationships! Although they don't snuggle up, they always sleep next to each other, or one outside the cosy and one on the floor next to the other. Fuzzy has severe cataracts so follows Tyler everywhere and Tyler has definately given him a new lease of life. He is the white piggy below:

Then in August I saw Flinn & Winston on The potteries rescue website, two boys ages 1 and 9 weeks at the time, who Helen paired after finding them at some sort of show, being sold for breeding. I fell in love with them and just had to have them. It wasn't without issues as they fell out 2 weeks later but after setting them up in a c&c cage shortly after, re-bonding and perserverance, they are now friends in their own way, tolerating each other in a love-hate fashion

Ooh, Suzy, we adopted a Saturn recently, and I was just about to post a picture when I saw the picture of your Saturn above. Their colouring is very very similar, right down to the ginger stripe. I'm afraid I don't have any photos that show that, though, so you'll have to take my word for it!

We call our Saturn Sally (she doesn't seem to mind), and she lives with her friends Bobbi and Caramel, who we've had for three years. We adopted Sally just under a month ago, from the Sydney branch of the Australian Cavy Sanctuary, which is also where we got Bobbi (and the sadly departed Bella).

 

[TiddlesMidnight&Squeaky]

I adopted our little boy Bubbles from a rescue. I cant really remember the name, but it was something like "Winnie and Piglet Guinea Pig Rescue". We first heard of them at a county show we went to when they had a stall there. We saw Bubbles there and "reserved" him. He was so adorable and tiny and could fit into the palm of my hand x). We then went through the adoption process etc etc. Then we were able to take him home!

We now think he has some very mild brain damage issues, not enough to to affect his everyday life, but enough for us to have an idea that he has them. We dont know for sure, he might just be a crazy hyper loony piggie!

Here is the man himself:

It is extremely hard to get a photo of him, he doesnt stop running around and popcorning everywhere!

And here he is in his hutch, nomming on some corriander. Look at his big belly!

We rescued him in march/april time.
