  • On this episode of rescue 911 we’re are here with Valerie who introduces us to Lizzie. Her family had fallen on very hard times, homeless and living out of their car. They knew the best thing for this senior piggie was to re home her. We couldn’t say no.

    🥺🥺 the guinea pig looks healthy considering everything. They seem like they were good pig parents.

      Yes we think they were good parents who just got stuck in an awful situation. We really hope they will be ok.

    becoming homeless and having to surrender my guinea pigs is my worst nightmare. I live paycheck to paycheck and am unable to work fulltime due to being disabled. I do everything for my guineas and I couldn't give them up, but with the cost of living crisis it's so hard.

    Her family have to be praised for not abandoning their pet, they loved her, and will miss their little Lizzie. 😢
    She's adorable 😍 and Thank You for giving her a lovely home. Wishing all the best for Lizzies family. 🙏

      Great point. The family did the right thing for Lizzy and we should acknowledge that, as many are dumped and will not survive in the wild as a prey animal. I'm glad she is safe and eating.

    I watched this video of Lizzie with tears in my eyes. My heart breaks for this family. Suddenly being forced into this situation and having to give up a pet is heartbreaking. Obviously they loved her very much and knew that she needed a better life than they could provide at this time. Bless you for taking her in and giving her a safe home.

    Hope the piggie family also find a home and maybe reunite with her .Shes beautiful and the fact she looks healthy and they still kept her safe and didnt throw her out in the streets like some do .This makes me so sad

    • @SoCalGuineaPigRescue
      @SoCalGuineaPigRescue  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yes absolutely they kept her as long as they could and in the end gave her up because they did love her so much. We really hope they get back on their feet

    Yeah, guinea pigs in vehicles is HARD. You do the best you can but climate control and space make it impossible to give them what they really need and it gets messy fast. I'm grateful this sweet girl got a chance to live in a safer situation, but you know my heart goes out to her family. No one experiencing homelessness surrenders their pets if they can possibly help it.

    • @SoCalGuineaPigRescue
      @SoCalGuineaPigRescue  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes I absolutely agree, we really felt for her family. This was awful for them and these are exactly the types of families we feel compelled to help.

    This made me real sad.... I've had to give up a piggy of mine, his name was Lausbub (which means something like troublemaker). He was my heart and soul, I loved him so much, but he was too sick for me to be able to keep him. I miss him every day...

    My three piggos are also nice when you pet them in the cage, one of them is super sweet when on the lap (the other two turn into Doras the Explorers). But neither of them would let themselves be picked up easily from the cage. We have to use sacks to fish them out

    • @SoCalGuineaPigRescue

      I’ve been doing that with Lizzie, it seems to help her feel less afraid. We’re used to piggies that hate being picked up but poor Lizzie reallyyyy hates it.
