Young female Guinea pig at Bergen County Shelter in NJ

I was just at Bergen this afternoon bringing them newspapers.
In conversation, the woman asked me if I had pets and I told her I had guinea pigs. She said they had one there - so that was a fast adoption if she's already gone.
Lots of times they don't even list the guinea pigs or hamsters they get in - they usually have a good turnover rate.
I can always pick up a pig at Bergen and perhaps foster for a short time....
I will also call them and ask if they can notify me if they've had a pig there too long and it will be euthanized. I know going back a few years ago, they would call Have-A-Heart if they got in more pigs than they could handle.

Why do you think Twinkie was adopted?
I'm not near Woodbridge but it isn't a million miles away either.
I can get Twinkie and foster til a vacancy comes up, but she may be better off where she's at. They have a small animal room for rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters, etc. kept away from the barking dogs. And pretty clean too.
Can a rescue contact them so I can get her without charge?

If no one else can, maybe we can do a swap next week when the MD UTI girl goes to DE.
That is, if no one else can, and if she could get to MD, Matt and I could take her in.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I received a response to my e-mail to Bergen. I had asked if Twinkie was at risk of euthanasia (which is a moot point now), & they responded: "Not unless she develops an illness we can’t treat." So perhaps their 90 day policy is in regard to dogs/cats, or has since changed? (Strange they didn't say she was adopted, though.)
Any further news on Oswalt?
