[Gpdd] RESCUE: HELP Needed

[BunsnPigs at aol.com]

I haven't posted again about the seizure case at the Tri-County 
shelter in Hughesville, Maryland, because its still in the courts. I 
can say that the shelter there is housing 250+ guinea pigs seized on 
May 22nd and they are responsible for cleaning and feeding these 
animals every single day. Once the court case is over, we will be 
more able to talk about it. 

I have tried to round up volunteers to go and clean cages and feed 
piggies.. even just go to fill water bottles... I myself have been 
going 3 times a week, although this last week I could only go for one 
full day because of nursing sick animals at home. 

If anyone can donate some time and energy, even 2 hours, to drive 
down there (its south of Waldorf), please let me know. They are open 
during the week from 8 - 6 and on Saturdays from 8 - 4. Sundays they 
are there, although not open, from 7 - 10. When you see them, you 
will be astounded at the numbers. They are all so beautiful and have 
started to blossom. 

Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue has solicited donations from people 
around the country and abroad to provide the major portion of 
pellets, bedding, and hay for the guinea pigs. Its been a blessing to 
be able to help in this way, but the bodies are needed, too. Thank you
to all who have helped already.

Please email me privately at "bunsnpigs at aol.com" if you can help. We 
are still accepting donations for the fund to provide care as well, 
since it costs 250 times what you spend each week per piggy just to 
provide clean bedding, hay, and pellets. Go to 
http://www.mgpr.org/TriCounty.htm and choose your donation route. We 
WILL send you a receipt for tax purposes. 

Thank you all so much!!
