Abandoned guinea pig rescued by Dalmatian dog

30 Apr 2012

A guinea pig found abandoned by a brook was rescued and brought to Blue Cross after she was discovered by a Dalmatian dog.

The dog was out on a walk when it spotted Brooke in the unlikely location and alerted its owner, who picked her up and brought her to our Burford rehoming centre.

When she arrived we realised she was pregnant and she had a litter of two a couple of weeks later, a boy called Wrinkles and a girl called Creases.

But sadly the pups didn’t survive and poor Brooke found herself alone again. More than ever, she really needed a second chance in a loving home where she could get the care and attention she deserved.

We were delighted when someone came forward to give Brooke exactly that and she’s now been rehomed.

Blue Cross has lots of pets desperate for a second chance in life. If you’d like to give a rescue pet a happy, healthy future, please visit our rehoming pages.
