I will check the shelters for you. I have a medical donation that needs to go to Tri-County if ICit doesn't know of someone in need of renal care meds. Lady lost her GSD mix to renal failure/old age and donated what she had left in medical supplies to us. We want to be sure these meds get used by someone in need or a local shelter like Tri-County.
what did she have????

pm me please or email

I adopted a friend for my beloved piggy fromt hese guys. ats a bit of a drive, of course, and they are total hippys..but i took my guy "guniea pig speed dating" to help find him the best budy and partner (there should be at least two) and they have kits available to build your own C and C cage which really is the best for them. the store bought ones are no where near large enough. I love piggies they really are fantastic pets but have a little bit of an interesting nutrition requirement but they are so loveable and really love people!

I stand corrected, that is the group I got my 3 from. I drove to the shelter in BelAir, MD to pick them up. I went there to get 2 girls (Lucy and Ethel) and they talked me into taking a 3rd piggy that was a neutered black male named Jet. Lucy and Ethel did great for years (sisters) and then suddenly they started fighting so I had to separate them. They had C & C enclosures I made <G>.

Hard to believe a little rodent would scare you. But I guess we all have our fears and phobias!

It got me to thinking that now that we carry small animal supplies, are people going to bring their small pets like chinchillas, ferrets, rabbits into the store?

We did have a cute miniature pig in a few weeks ago!
