The Legendary Gregorys Story
Hello all my name is Gregory Chadwick i am nearly 5 years old, this is me in the photo above on the day i arrived at my new home April 2009, and i just wanted to share with you how important forever homes are to Guinea Pigs like me !!!
I was very lonely when my mum found me at another rescue centre,i lived on my own for 2 years surrounded by other Guinea Pigs and although lots of people had cuddles with me they did not come back.
When my mum found me she just loved me, we had a cuddle and then guess what she came back !!!!!! We arrived at my new home and i felt a bit quiet but was so excited at all the new smells and sounds.
Then i discovered........................
My garden
Oh my goodness i had not been on a lawn before it was brill, and i just ran around looking at all the flowers and grass how happy i was. But i still felt a bit down as i was still on my own and really wanted to chat to another Guinea pig like me.
Then one day just as i was on the lawn my mum appeared with, well what can i say the most gorgeous Guinea Pig i had ever seen,she was called Toffee and mum told me she was a rescue Guinea Pig from the RNGP in Rugby.She could not have babies so mum moved us in together and i really really loved her..........................
I love Toffee
Me and Toffee went every where together and loved snuggling up and eating our food......................

Lasy year was really hard for me Toffee was 5 and passed away peacefully in August with me by her side,i was so upset but my mum got me a new friend so i would not get lonely.
My gorgeous adopted son Titch arrived in my life the same day, and well he was just wonderful,he certainly kept me feeling young again !! He was only a little baby and i made sure i groomed him and ensured he was kept clean.Titch was so tiny and i know Toffee would be really happy for me having had him in my life.

The reason i asked mum to put this page on is just to make you aware of how much Guinea Pigs like me appreciate being given a second chance and a forever home,i have gone from being a lonely neglected Guinea pig to having my own forever family.
Thank you for reading this and if your interested in maybe adopting a Guinea Pig like me then please call my mum,we have lots of piggies just like me

Hensels Story
Hello my name is Hensel i just wanted to share with you my experience of being a neglected Guinea Pig.I really was very unhappy,lonely and in a great deal of pain and discomfort,i lived on my own in a dirty cage and i dont think anyone loved me.One day i was taken to a new place and was given a lovely hug and i just knew things were going to get better.It was hard because i had to have baths and cream rubbed on my skin,it was uncomfortable but i also had cuddles off my foster mum Claire and lovely food and discovered ....the lawn !!
Hensel June 2011
Then one day my foster mum Claire introduced me to another Guinea Pig called Harry,he was just gorgeous and we cuddled up,played and ate food together.I was really happy.My foster mum told me they were looking for a new family for us and we went to stay with Mandy for a couple of weeks whilst we waited.Last Saturday they came to meet us, they were lovely and me and Harry are very happy, i have peace at last and am very happy living in Warrington.
Me and Harry July 2011
If you know of a Guinea Pig in need please let Helen and Claire know !!

Jensens story
Claire received a distressed call from lady who had seen a sick looking Guinea Pig in a pet shop.Claire went along and offered to take it, he was a very poorly boar, she named him Jensen.
Jensen was in an awful condition,extremely emaciated,with 2 broken legs,and terrible dental problems including a fractured jaw. Jensen was around 7 mths old and weighed 465g the weight of a 12 week guinea pig. He had been left like this for 4 mths poss from been dropped He was so hungry when he came to claire and wouldnt let go of the syringe.
She nursed 24hours for several weeks, and then Jensen went to a rodentologist for long term dental treatment.He was so poorly he needed to stay with Paul and has been living in Alcester for over 12 months now,with visits from Claire.
Poorly Jensen warning distressing images:
  
The fantastic news,thanks to the lady who cared to do something and Claire who nursed him so lovingly is that with the help of our rodentologist Paul, Jensen has made an excellent recovery and well is looking fabulous !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jensen now so healthy and happy with Claire at our last visit in August.

Cindys story
Hello my name is Cindy Chadwick ,i am 3 years old now and just love my life !!
I was rescued 2 years ago from an auction house by a member of the public and brought to Claires rescue.I was in a box with my six babies,covered in lice and mites i also had a water infection to.Claire looked after me and my babies and soon i was ready for a new home.

I moved in with Oliver Chadwick and we were very happy together.I was very sad in February this year as my lovely Oliver passed away.I became quite stressed as i really missed him,and some of my hair fell out.Then Billy arrived in the rescue an unwanted pet,he had a little operation so no more babies !! and we moved in together.I love him and he is so gentle and kind.I still have Olivers bed,thats me in it above,me and Billy love to cuddle in it.

Sallys story
My name is Sally Chadwick i am 3 years old.My mum found me in another rescue before she started our rescue.I had lived on my own for 18mths in a small cage and i was very scared of everything,so because i did not like being picked up people overlooked me.I am not to keen on other sows so people kept bringing me back.I must admit i had lost hope of a forever home.
 This is me !
Then my mum came and fetched me, it seemed quite a drive but when we arrived i had a lovely run on the lawn !! I had not been on the lawn before !
I had a bath and then the most wondeful thing happened this gorgeous black Guinea Pig came running towards me on the lawn.His name is Dylan and well we fell in love straight away and now live very happily in our lovely cage.I still dont like being picked up but my mum is fine with that,she tickles my nose and thats says we love one another.
So please dont overlook the timid Guinea Pig like me, we just need time to settle xx
 My lovely Hubby Dylan Chadwick xx
