Mom and Dad left us on Sunday to make a quick visit to the Arizona Piggie Poo Rescue. They dropped off the carriers they used to bring Piper and Clementine home and got some pellets as well. While there (at the East Valley location), they got to take a look at some of the most recent intakes.
The previous week, APPR seized about 100 fellow cavies from a backyard breeder (or in this case, a garage breeder). Their particular lot were being sold to Rainbow Exotics and were subjected to horrible conditions. Luckily, APPR were able to save them and have already started fostering/adopting out quite a few cavies. Mom shared some pictures with us of some 20 young boars. Thankfully, many of the babies were quite healthy, though not well-socialized. The adults were another story :( One of the adult females had to be euthanized due to a horrid infection in her uterus and bowels from several week-dead pups that weren't extracted from her. It made us quite sad to hear about this!
Here are some of the photos Mom shared with us. It makes us so thankful we have a safe, loving home with lots of food! These pigs are currently located at the rescue.
Some of the young boars. There's so many of them! They look happy now that they're being treated properly.
Mom also got a few photos of piggies that are patiently waiting for their own forever home. These gentlemen seemed quite charming and fluffy!
Well, that's all for now. Clemmy and Piper have been patiently waiting for their turn to write, so they'll be writing the next entry.
