WE HAVE FOSTER HOMES IN NJ, DE, NY & PA!!!!
We are ALWAYS in need of new foster homes!!! We will supply the cage, water bottle, food bowl and of course the piggies. We also handle all the medical should it arise as well as the phone calls and emails so you wouldn't have to deal with the public. There is also no commitment with fostering. You can foster as long or as short as you would like. All you would have to do is supply the bedding, hay, veggies and pellets.
Have-A-Heart is a guinea pig rescue based out of Burlington, NJ. It was founded in June, 2001. The rescue works together with the foster homes to rescue guinea pigs and on occasion other small animals from kill shelters and find them loving, forever homes. Have-A-Heart is also dedicated to the prevention of unwanted litters. All proceeds from merchandise and donations go toward our rescued animals veterinary care. Our pet list includes guinea pigs and other companion animals who are in need of loving families!
SMALL ANIMAL SITTING: Going away on vacation and nobody will be home to watch the little critters??? Have a Heart is now offering pet sitting while you are away. Email for prices and more information.

Each portrait is uniquely different and attempts to catch the personality of each pig. Sizing varies but will typically range between 4x4 and 8.5x 11.

SMALL CAGES FOR SALE: We have quite a few small used cages for sale that are ideal for travel cages. They are not good to house guinea pigs in permanantly, but they are great for short periods of time. If you would be interested in buying one, please email us for more information.
LANCASTER RESCUE AGAIN!!!! 7/16/11!!!!! 56 pigs were rescued from a barn in Lancaster after being irresponsibly bred as always with the barn cases.... Between 3 rescues all the piggies are now safe and never to be bred again. The males are up for adoption but the females will not be until 9/22/11 as they may be pregnant.
NEVAEH WAS ADOPTED ON 10/9/10!!!!! Another case of animal neglect. Poor Nevaeh came to the rescue after her owners were going to let her loose outside in this heat in Philly, PA after they gave us next to nothing notice that they wanted her out! Didn't care what happened to her, just wanted her gone. Thankfully with the help of a new foster home, we were able to get her into the rescue. Poor Nevaeh is only about 1 year old, already had a litter of babies, has never had a water bottle, and was fed only rabbit pellets, not guinea pig pellets. She also came to us with SEVERE mites and is bald in most spots, has several scabs and is bleeding in some spots. Thankfully we started treatment for the mites as soon as we got her and gave her a bowlful of guinea pig pellets, fresh veggies and timothy hay. Please keep Nevaeh in your thoughts for a quick recovery!
APRIL 6th, 2008!!!!! 61 GUINEA PIGS RESCUED YET AGAIN! 61 Piggies were rescued YET AGAIN from the same home where the July 17th, 2007 piggies came from. Thankfully, this home is cleared out of piggies and will hopefully NEVER be able to do this again. Pictures to come soon and please consider adopting a special needs piggie. They need love too.
JULY 17th, 2007!!!! RESCUE OF 11 PIGGIES SO FAR WITH MORE TO COME IN..... Because of the trial, we did have to remove the post about the case. Once the trial is over, we will repost the pics and info. Sorry for the inconvience. UPDATE!!! Sadly, the person responsible for this, is off the hook. All the charges were dropped and sadly he stated in the newspaper that he will continue to breed guinea pigs to give away for free. Sadly, more piggies like this will suffer at the hands of this monster.
OLD CASE 8/2006.......HUGE RESCUE OF OVER 140 MORE PIGGIES(Thankfully all the piggies were rescues and almost all are placed in forever homes or foster homes)!!!!
Please help in any way you can. There was a seizure of about 140 guinea pigs from a barn in PA that was raising guinea pigs for FOOD for people! They were found in over 2 feet of feces with dead piggies and maggots all around. Thankfully an animal shelter stepped up and has confiscated them all, but the shelter can not hold the piggies for much longer. Have a Heart has stepped up to help a majority of them and will need help with medical bills as most of them have mites and most are pregnant. We can also use help with supplies and anything else to help care for the piggies. Most of all, we need foster homes. Please email the rescue and we will explain everything there is about fostering.
All leftover money donated towards the barn piggies will go to get future piggies medical treatment.
