FYI DO NOT ADOPT!
The following person is looking to adopt a young female guinea pig for breeding. Last name is Lockwood and her email address is Clliclcl@aol.com. I have sent a DNA out to rescue groups in my area (Connecticut) and also sent it to Marci in New Jersey. However, I am not certain where she is from. That is why I am posting it here.

If I talk to Marci, I will mention something...make sure she knows. Although, I am curious as to why the DNA.

Sorry I didn't add "to this person." I just tried to edit the posting but it wouldn't let me do it. I sent Marci from Have a Heart Guinea Pig Rescue a copy of the email that I received. Because I am a rescue I am against breeding. Since this person wants to adopt a female to breed I felt that other rescues would like to be forwarned. I am located in Connecticut and am uncertain where this person is located.
It is funny that she would be so upfront about it. We have people who come to the shelter to adopt dogs and often leave when they hear they must be altered. Why on earth would someone want a rescue pig to breed? How's that for adding to the problem and defeating the purpose of adopting from a rescue.

Unfortunately some people don't have a clue or know just what a "rescue" is. Sometimes they actually think that rescues/shelters are just like a petstore. They will browse through petfinder and go "shopping." This is the fourth person that has contacted me that wanted to breed. The last one wanted to adopt a young male and female so that they could "fall in love and have babies". I ended up getting in a huge email war with that one.
Marci had a friend who does a rescue who had that happen to her. I was absolutely amazed at the stupidity of some people.
Oh, on a "certain other website" *cough* petslug *cough* if you get my drift, I noticed that they not only are okay with breeding, they actually encourage it. I go over there only to try and guide the misinformed.
