FEBRUARY'S PIG OF THE MONTH-Miss Scarlet


from TX Rescue


Miss Scarlet is a very special pig going through a hard time. This poor girl has a UTI, calcium sludge, urine scald, and on top of all of that, ovarian cysts.

Miss Scarlet, pictured at left with her sister Miss Piggins, needs a spay, which is an intensive procedure for guinea pigs. It requires an expert vet, which Texas Rustlers is lucky to have.

We are hoping to fundraise for this spay, estimated at $200 (including pain meds and antibiotics), as well as purchase her a cage blanket, costing about $50. The blanket will enable her feetsies to have a soft surface, and aid her urine scald and UTI recovery.

Aside from these requests from the rescue, I would also like to raise an additional $75 in case there are future issues for Miss Scarlet. I would like to establish a vet fund for this dear girl. The director of Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue had a difficult year in 2010, and I think it would be great if we could all take one worry off her plate. Our fundraising goal is $325.

Miss Scarlet was born in August of 2005, and she has been in the rescue with her sister since 2007. They are best friends.

JANUARY'S PIG OF THE MONTH-Pablo!

Meet Pablo
from CA Rescue


Pablo is a very special little pig whom has already touched many peoples lives in the short time he has been here on this earth. We have determined now that Pablo is blind and deaf. He has no front teeth and will need hand feeding.

Pablo will be cared for by experienced volunteers and will live his lifetime ...as a sanctuary piggy.

Keep this sweet boy in your thoughts and prayers. We love him so much and hope he will be able to live a long wonderful piggy lifetime.

Hooks have grown on his molars, and he needs them trimmed. This will cost $282. We are also fundraising for two large cans of critical care, at a cost of $50. Our total goal is $332. We've never done a goal this high before, so please, do as much as you can to forward the cause.
