Knoxville, TN looking for young male piggy

[twinmom]

Hello. I am looking for a young male to adopt in Knoxville, TN. I currently have an adult male and a 5 week old male. I would love to have a trio of piggies and cannot find a young male in Knoxville.

The only ad on Craigslist has now decided not to adopt out her babies. I can find nothing in the classifieds. The local shelter rarely gets any surrenders. Our only local rescue has no males and is closing down due to family moving.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the Knoxville Guinea Pig Rescue?

Actually, I have been fostering for the rescue. She only has a pair of girls left that need to be rehomed. She is moving and is closing the rescue as soon as the girls are adopted. But, thank you for replying!

Awesome for you! I just wanted to let you know, this was posted in the community I moderate for pigs in Nashville:

It's probably a bit of a drive, but I thought of you immediately! (For the abandoned babies, not the mites)

Twinmom, I have a male piggie who needs a home. He's orange and white with a white crest and is about six months old. If you are interested, let me know and I'll send you pictures and info. I actally live in Louisiana, but I'll be driving to Illinois at the end of this month to visit family. I'll, of course, have a zillion questions for you if you are intersested.

Jennicat- Wow, that is such a sad story! Unfortunately, Memphis is at least 7 hours from where I live one way. I would love to help, but can make that trip right now.

Alyndra- That is very sweet. I think I have found one on craigslist, I am just wating to hear if she is going to let this one go. If not, I might be interested in your little guy. Does he currently live with any other males? I know it can be tricky with boars.

He lived with other boars for the first couple months of his life. We got him to be a cagemate to our other boar, but they really didn't do well together. It is tricky with boars, isn't it? He has not lived with another boar for about a month now. If you are interested, send me a pm, just in case I forget to check this thread.
