I successfully managed not to rehome any guinea pig's in 2011, I think that's an achievement! 
.
I do however have plenty of rescues from 2010!

My Forum Rescue - Percy-Roo, the pig with no name and was kept in a hamster cage.
I think Percy-Roo is a wee pig whose life has really, really changed this year. Honestly the difference from early this year is quite something! Alongside finding a new home for life, a new wife, two new pig neighbours he's also featured in The Guinea Pig Magazine (a whole spread to himself!).
Percy-Roo was looking for a new home in the Rescue and Rehoming Thread, I just fell in love with him as soon as I seen him!
http://theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=67746
After discussing with the rescue, I reserved him and picked him up five weeks later, after a long journey home it was the beginning of a whole new life for Percy-Roo. After a failed bonding with my two boars due to his past of being kept as a single pig in a tiny cage Percy struggled to understand 'pig' so his summer was spent at piggie school, he was kept alongside my mum in laws four piggies and learnt how to behave and act around other piggies.
During those first few months I took the time to do a LOT of research, hours of phone calls, exchanging emails and chatting to vets and took the decision to get Percy-Roo neutered.
It was no easy decision, and Percy-Roos recovery did take an extra three weeks after developing lumps due to an unusual allergic reaction to the stitches. But finally after weeks of waiting he was finally ready to find a wife pig to share his hutch with.
My Non Forum Adoption- The 'Ugly' Pig
My good friend who also owns piggies recently took from pre loved for free two ex breeding sows as they weren't producing anymore and were worthless to the breeder and she also took on one wee 'ugly' mini pig....a little sow, who was adopted by myself!
My beautiful boy- Percy-Roo (oh and to update he now never shuts up wheeking!)
And Tabitha, the shy pretty girl who is loved by not only me....but Percy-Roo!:
Two Pigs in one year! Next year....we're are planning to foster...but shh!

I feel so badly for having kept this a secret from the forum for so long, but ladies and gentlemen I give you the wonderful Danny, adopted from Walsall RSPCA in September. To be honest, I just haven't wanted to take him out of the herd for photos because he had such a hard life before being rescued that I wanted him to enjoy every possible minute of his new life. For those of you who don't know his story, he was thrown out with the rubbish and handed in to the RSPCA by a kind bin man. Here is his recovery thread: http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=65638
This was tea time night before last:
With his girls:
From left to right Minnie the Moocher, Sweetie, Danny and Luna, Dora behind.
Danny could hardly walk from being kept in cramped conditions when he was rescued. Nowadays, he builds himself newspaper tunnels in his cage:
I call him the 'civil engineer'!
Every time you adopt from a rescue, you are increasing the capacity for piggies in need like Danny to be helped on the road to recovery.
Please make adopting from a rescue your resolution for 2012!

not forgetting my rescue boar from brent knoll rspca down here in somerset
flash aka the flashman
he made my girly group of 3 complete, they love him greatly and he is the only pig I can stroke inside the pen and being an unwanted pet previously and only handled by his foster mum (who did a great job BTW) he is still a bit silly when it comes to catching but he does love a cuddle. My flashman you have a loving home with your girls and me x)

Woohooo, I often think about where Danny went to! I am so pleased he's with you Polly! I had the privilege of meeting him when I went to pick up Fin from Vic, despite everything that happened to him he was such a sweet little piggy with so much character! He was chuntering away whilst me and Vic were talking and going for a little explore around the table please post some more pigtures when you have the time

Oh there's more to come! I haven't put up all of the piggies that have been rehomed this year yet - I have rehomed a total of 110 out to forever homes, 26 on to other rescue space and 3 buns also needing a pit stop on their way to rescue space.
I've taken in 163 this year, not beaten my record of 175 I'm glad to say, but homes have been fewer so still lots of piggies waiting.

He is such a cheerful chap! And he fitted right in with my herd almost from the moment I got him! I am so glad to have been able to give him a home.

I'm so glad to see Danny doing so well and being spoilt rotten. I had cuddles with him in his days at Vicky's and the difference both her and youhave made is amazing.

I rescued a guinea pig from the trash this past July and with help from Oreo, I took her in and gave her a proper home where she could be together with another guinea pig and have the life she was deprived from.

Babies found homes with lonely older boars.

I adopted Basil (then known as Fred) from Crawley GPR in May. He is such a lovely boy, full of character and so cuddly!
I rehomed Bumble in January - she had been bought for a friend, who did not want any more guinea pigs, and was destined for the RSPCA before I came along. Not sure if she counts as a rescue or not!

Another little baby that found a home with a lonely male.
A little ginger baby that went home with Doris (hope I have the right pic as there were 4 lookalikes).
Brownlow and his partner (eek forgotten his name, sorry Debbie!) are permanent residents of The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary.
Two girls were adopted by a very dominant older sow who had lost her friends.
Charlotte and her little girl Lily
Clementine and her little girl Avril (nicked the pics from her new mum's post LOL)
Patty & Poppy Pumpkin are the last pigs to leave the rescue this year.
I do still have a few more pics to add, just need to find them!
