🌈 Nine New Girls Have Arrived! 🌈

Today we welcomed NINE beautiful girl guinea pigs into the rescue as an emergency surrender. They’re safe, settling in, and already stealing hearts — so of course they needed some fun names:

✨ Bubble
✨ Pop
✨ Skittles
✨ Jellybean
✨ Sparkle
✨ Glitter
✨ Pixie
✨ Star
✨ Rainbow

That’s a whole lot of personality (and a whole lot of veggies 😅).

💚 How you can help right now:
Emergency intakes mean sudden, unexpected needs. With this many new mouths to feed, our veggie fund and hay fund are definitely feeling it. If you’re able to help, every little bit truly makes a difference.

💸 Donation options:
• Venmo: -Mills-2
• Cash App: $FloweryPot27
• PayPal: MillyMolls216
• Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/39JLIH1LBKDZ0?ref_=wl_share

(Items sent directly from our wish list are always appreciated!)

🏡 Foster homes needed!
If you’re 25 or older and interested in fostering, now is a GREAT time. We would love to place pairs of piggies into foster homes to help us make space and continue to take emergency cases when they arise.

🍼 Baby watch update:
Jen and Amy have been moved into our birthing setup as we prepare for the possibility of new babies in the next 10 days. Extra monitoring, lots of hay, and fingers crossed 🤞

Thank you for standing with us during emergency intakes and for supporting guinea pigs who need a safe place to land. We truly couldn’t do this without you 💚🐹

🚗🐹 Transport Train Alert!

Piggies located in the Cleveland and Aurora areas can make their way to Columbus!

We have a transport train planned, which helps connect our guinea pigs with approved adopters while easing travel for everyone involved 💕

If you’re in the Columbus area and have been waiting for the right pig (or pair), now is a great time to reach out.

Message us to be screened or for more details!

🎄✨ Wishing everyone a very happy holiday season ✨🎄

We hope your days are full of warmth, love, and a little extra joy this time of year. We are so grateful for every single person who follows along, supports our rescue, and helps us continue caring for these amazing piggies.

Featured in this photo are Polar and Stormy, two sweet girls soaking up the cozy winter vibes while they wait for their forever home. They are as cute as they look and would love nothing more than a family of their very own 🐹🤍

If you happen to be doing any holiday shopping and would like to grab something for the piggies here, we’ve linked our Amazon Wishlist below. Absolutely no pressure at all, it’s just there for anyone who asks how they can help.

Thank you for being part of our little rescue family, and happy holidays from all of us (and all the squeaks)!

Hey everyone! Ashlee here. I really would like to find this young, sweet female chinchilla an amazing home. She is curious and energetic!!!
Her adoption fee is only $100. She is now healthy and has a healthy weight. She came to us with a very rough coat and low body weight.
She loves wheels and multi level cages. We do sell those cages like the double nations and other new and gently used supplies.

Can you share so Holly can find a home? Yes I named her Holly. You can change it if you wish as she responds to just talking to her nicely.

Pick up Hiram Ohio 44234.

🎅🐹 Checking the List… Twice! 🐹🎅

Santa stopped by the rescue and helped us sort out who’s been on the Nice List and who’s been a little… extra this year. 😅

✨ Nice List Piggies:
Biggie
Ice Cube
Parsley
Basil
Amy

😈 Naughty List Piggies:
Apple
Twinkle
Jen
Ernie

Whether they’re nice or naughty, they all agree on one thing… we NEEEEED hay. And lots of it. 🌿😂

If you’re feeling festive, our Amazon wishlist has hay, water bottles, bowls, and food listed. Hay is by far our biggest need right now and disappears fast with this many piggies!

Thank you for always supporting us. 💚🐹🎄

💛 A Quick Rescue Update 💛

We are so grateful for everyone who supports us. Your kindness, shares, donations, and messages help us do what we do every single day.

As we move into the holidays, our team also needs time with our families. Because we are at maximum capacity, we need to pause new surrenders until the end of January. We must keep the remaining space open for true emergencies only.

Right now our priority is giving the guinea pigs currently in our care the attention and love they deserve and finding them good homes. We need to adopt out at least twenty before we can take in more.

If anyone needs cages or supplies, Ashlee has several available and we can connect you with her.

Thank you for understanding and for being such an amazing community. Our piggies are lucky to have you. 💛🐹

The cutest little duo is already in the making, and we couldn’t be happier for them.

We say it over and over, but it’s true… our followers are incredible. Every share, every message, every adoption, and every bit of support helps us place these sweet piggies into safe, loving homes.

And don’t worry
✨ We still have MANY guinea pigs who are ready for their forever homes! ✨
Singles, pairs, adults, seniors, shy ones, cuddly ones… we truly have someone for everyone.

At the bottom, I’m sharing wish and twinkle.
They are two single females that like to live alone.
We rarely have single females, but currently we have three !!!!! if you were looking to have one guinea pig message us, and we can hook you up ❤️

❄️☃️ Snow Day Snuggles! Featuring… PUDDING! 🐹❤️

While the snow piles up outside, our little rescue crew is staying warm, dry, and very well-fed especially Pudding, who wanted to be today’s weather reporter.

Pudding is about 1.5 years old, impossibly cute, fluffy in all the right places, and fully convinced that snow days are for extra hay, extra snacks, and extra attention. We agree. 😂💕

We hope everyone is staying safe and cozy today and if you’re stuck inside, feel free to share pics of your piggies enjoying this snowy day inside too!❄️🐹

🐹🖤 Onyx & Shadow Are Ready! 🖤🐹

Our sweet baby boys Onyx and Shadow will be ready for their forever homes starting Wednesday! ❤️

They can go home with one of our single males, or they may be a good fit for a home that already has a friendly male.

If you’re interested in giving one of these cuties a loving home, message us to be screened!
