Adopt a special needs /  senior pig

Because we are a non-profit organization, we depend upon donations to care for our guinea pigs.

Some of our seniors, though often healthy for the most part, are overlooked for adoption due to their age. Other guinea pigs have on-going health issues that require specialized care and will not be made available for adoption due to this. These guinea pigs usually become part of our "sanctuary" and stay within the rescue. We need to continue to raise funds to support them and provide for their medical needs as needed.

If you'd like to contribute to our medical fund, which we use to treat their ongoing medical issues, contact us for our address if you would like to send a check, or make a donation by credit card via PayPal by clicking on the button below.

 

Frodo

Samwise - Male - Adult

Samwise is a cute boy. He was terribly neglected when he was dumped at a shelter but he is healing. He is sweet and a good veggie eater.

Update: Samwise has chronic bumblefoot issues in his front feet, likely due to being housed on wire most of his previous life. He also has heart issues so he is now a sanctuary pig.

If you'd like to donate towards his care which includes regular foot soaks and meds, please click below:


Lil Sugar

Lil Sugar - Female - Senior

Lil Sugar was rescued from an LA shelter about 5 years ago. She is a very mellow, shy pig who gets along well with other pigs. She has been a good friend to several different sanctuary pigs who have since passed away.


Baloo and Fudge Baloo and Fudge

Baloo - Male - Senior
Fudge - Male - Adult

Baloo and Fudge are a relaxed mellow pair. They get along great and enjoy each others company. Baloo is a handsome senior boy. He gets a lot of attention due to his unique looks but he has impactions that need to be cleaned out regularly. Most people don't want to take care of this though it is easy.

Fudge is young, sprightly and athletic. They LOVE morning veggies, sitting on laps and exploring during floor time.


Prince Jax

Prince - Male - Senior
Jax - Male - Senior

Prince and Jax are senior boars who were abandoned at a high kill shelter in L.A. They are very friendly and obviously were loved at one time. Jax has severe arthritis and a head tilt. He needs pain medication daily. These boars will live out their lives in the rescue. Any donation for their ongoing care is appreciated.

 


Cashew Cashew

Harrison - Male - Adult
Cashew - Male - Young Adult

Harrison and Cashew were rescued from the Ventura shelter. Harrison. a cute golden agouti and white abby. He was sick when he came into our rescue and though he is recovered now, he has a residual head tilt. We think he is about 2 years old. He is a sweet boy but can be hard to catch (he probably gets scared due to his head tilt). Once you hold him, he melts in your arms.

His best friend Cashew is a handsome red boy, about 4 months old. He loves to run around, and run up his ramp to his loft in his C&C cage. He is a fast boy but he settles down quickly when you hold him.

They may do better with adults only or an experienced guinea pig home.

Teddy

Teddy - Neutered Male - Senior

Teddy was neglected when he was rescued from an animal shelter. He has impaction problems despite being neutered, had bad mites, scurvy and was overweight. He is also a Satin and may have problems associated with that.


Cookie and Hugh

Hugh - Male - Adult

Hugh was abandoned in a field before he was taken to the shelter. He was super timid at first but is now happy to be included in the household. This golden agouti is a complete gentleman, even during nail trims. He likes being pet, adores his hay, and is an expert lounger. If you have any pig-loos that need lounging in, Hugh is your guy


Ginger

Ginger - Female - Adult

Ginger is a four year old sow abandoned at the Long Beach Animal Shelter. She is a classic example of a piggy who was not well cared for and now her health is poor. She has infected foot pads from improper and possibly unclean caging. She has cataracts in both eyes and one eye has an ulcerated cornea. Ginger has an upper respiratory infection and a UTI (also probably from a dirty cage). Her heart is slightly enlarged so there are heart medications in her future. She also has a sebaceous cyst on her shoulder that will need to be removed when she is feeling better. We appreciate any help for Ginger's medical care. Because OCCH takes the neediest pigs first, we depend on donations to care for them. Thank you for your support!
