My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*** LOCATED NEAR SALISBURY, NORTH CAROLINA ***

Asher is an American mix that was born in our care with his brother River and (3) sisters on 11/18/2023. We pulled his very pregnant mama from the shelter in NC as she and NINE other piggies were found caged and abandoned in the woods in low 30-degree weather.

Asher is timid at times but loves cuddles. Once you earn his trust, he will eat veggies and vitamin c cookies right from your hand. He has an incredibly soft and gorgeous coat with hair around his head/neck area that is super soft but wild! He enjoys napping on top of his hide as well as doing zoomies in his enclosure. You may also see him popcorn mid zoomies. Asher also loves to impersonate Shakira throughout the day as he rumble-struts around his brother River. He is the absolute best of both worlds and so is his brother who has the most interesting story!

More about this rescue

We are a small foster based guinea pig rescue in Southern Maryland. Our 501c3 nonprofit rescue's mission is to educate the public on proper guinea pig care and husbandry as pet stores often misinform the public about cage size, nutrition, what is and is not safe, and guinea pigs are often mis sexed or sick at pet stores which leads to guinea pigs being surrendered or worse, abandoned outside. By adopting from rescues like ours, it helps to ensure adopters won't have surprise/unwanted pregnancies, unhealthy piggies, mis sexed guinea pigs while also helping guinea pigs to stay in their furever homes!
