Attention fellow piggie lovers: I have great news!
Many of your know that 2 months ago, I adopted Frida from the John Ancrum 
SPCA in Charleston. She was there with 2 sisters. They had no information 
on caring for guinea pigs. I gave them some basics and checked the
piggies lungs for URI. They were very appreciative and took good care of
them. However, it was still a euthanizing shelter. A week later there
were two more piggies that joined them. I was a bit panicked. I rent a
room, so I have a limit on the number of animals I am allowed to take in. 
I talked to the manager at PetSmart in Mt Pleasant who I knew had guinea
pigs of her own. She was very helpful and we talked to the pet manager
about this. They decided to not order any more gp's and would direct any
one looking for one, to John Ancrum until these were adopted. There is a
John Ancrum SPCA in Mt Pleasant that is a non-euthanizing adoption center 
down the street from Petsmart, so I went to the one in N Charleston and
they were so acomodating. They helped me load them up in my car, and
transfered all the paper work to Mt Pleasant. This was a HUGE group
effort and I am sooo thankful for all of the help. Last week I went to
check up on them,  and they were all adopted!!! Even another two that
came in later. From now on, any GP's that come to JASPCA, are sent to the 
adoption center. Things are now organized and planned out to keep the
lowcountry piggies safe!!! 
I just wanted to send this out as a recognition of the hard work on the
part of JASPCA and PetSmart, they did far more than they had to, and I am 
so grateful. 
I would like to send thankyou letters to them, especially JASPCA. They
are non-profit and doing this on donations only. 

Anyone who would like to send a note to JASPCA, their address is -

One small step for slaves and to large pops for cavykind!
