Show off your rescue pigs!

[LucyMc]

How on earth do you get your piggies to line up so neatly like that?

I was also thinking this!

 

[MerryPip]

Here's my boys, past and present...

Merry & Pippin (RIP) from Thistle Cavies in 2007

When Pippy died we boar dated Merry in at The Potteries & came home with or beautiful baby Suilven... (May 2011)

Then Merry crossed the bridge and we dated Suilven at Tameside and came home with this little guy who is now huge! (Arran Jan 2012)

I have two other boys who are sitting this thread out as they were 'rescues' but not in the strictest sense of the word!

 

[Suzygpr]

Awwww it's fabulous to see so many familiar faces from the rescue and rehoming section.

PD - Silver is a golden agouti roan abyssinian - possibly a cross as his rosettes aren't 100%. I fell so hard for this little man when he showed up in the 285 group - a serious case of Grabby Hands Syndrome infected me!

Thank you, I forgot to add the types then edited and would have run out of time to look it all up.

What ever he is, he really is lovely, such a sweet little boy, gentle and non demanding, sweet natured and such a gentleman. Shame he has to be with my 3 fishwives but then he seems to love being henpecked as well, he wont leave their sides and just is with them all 24/7 unlike the girls who can do their own thing and not worry about what the other is doing or be with one pig or another happily enough as when with all of them.

And his rosettes pretty much sum up his personality, not wanting to make a fuss, compaired to minty who has huge blazen rosettes that say "this is me" which suits her personality

I adopted Eleanor from Sokel guinea pig rescue in April 2009. She came to Manchester via piggy train with the help of Helen (hels) and Jane (nutmeg)

I adopted Erin again from Sokel guinea pig rescue in March 2010. She was born in rescue and I collected her from her fosterer Jane (nutmeg)

I adopted Ena from a rescue that was ran buy Suzanne (Logiebear) in June 2010. Unfortunately, small paws has since closed.

Eliza came from pets at home in 2007 and is on the far right of my avatar

 

[Puzzlepigs]

Ohh! What a nice idea! I wish I'd known sooner about piggy rescues, before around 2009-2010 time I didn't know they even existed. Even so, I love all my piggies just as much and if I knew as much as I do now back then, I would have gone and rescued some

Pippin was only with me about a week as she fought with my piggies was from the 285 rescue. I've got one rather fuzzy picture of her below. She is a black swiss piggy. I feel bad for returning her, but I know that she will get a wonderful home with some piggies that she does get on with.

I'll just go and find some pigtures of Florrie and Inca...

 

[Suzygpr]

I hope my piggies count, they are rescue piggies but just not ones that can be rehomed for a variety of reasons. These are my current lifers, I will do another post of my RIP piggies as they are a special part of the rescue too.

What a lovely thread! I will do the same as Suzy and pop my long term rescues up here later, have loved looking through these

 

[Suzygpr]

JohnnyPig has a son? ?/drool

JohnnyPig has 5 children, he came in with his son, Sid and daughter Lucy and their mum Jane. They had been safely living as two same sex pairs until the owner had to go into hospital, the friend who looked after them thought they would enjoy being out in the garden all together - they did, JohnnyPig got his daughter pregnant! When it became obvious that the owner was not going to be able to look after them they came into rescue - and the story of the shared run time came out.

This is Arthur. I am not exactly sure if he counts as a rescue but I got him from this forum from a woman who said his mother was a rescue so I think that makes him count. I rehomed him to go with Romano who I'd had for four days and also rescued.

This is Romano. I rescued him not from a rescue but from some terrible homing. He was in a two foot cage by one foot with a about 5 young rabbits and about 7 other baby piggies. He was the largest piggy but was cowering in the corner and wouldn't move or look up, just stiffly hiding there. He was fourteen weeks old and thought to have been a female, quickly proved wrong when I asked to hold him and felt his man bits.

 

[Suzygpr]

Here are my RIP piggies, they were spoilt rotten all the time and I feel very lucky to have had them in my life. I miss them all but I'm so glad that I got to share their lives.

I didn't have space to fit all my lifers on my earlier post today.

My special boy Fergus Montague has a post all to himself.

Fergus was given away by a fake rescue as too ugly to sell, they were advertising as a rescue and taking in free-ad guinea pigs only to breed from them, instead of finding them new homes. The babies were sold through online ads and to petshops. To breed from any pig that you do not know the genetic or health history for is highly irresponsible, to breed from rescues is an appalling abuse of the guinea pigs and the trust of the owners that entrusted their animals to a supposed safe haven.

Fergus had a horrific eye infection and abscess when he first arrived and it was only through the use of very innovative medical treatment that he survived, amazingly his eye is fully functional too. As he was in such a poor condition when he arrived he will be staying at the rescue for life as he is likely to have other health issues in the future.

Before

After (I won't put up the 'during' pics as they are a bit icky).
