COULD you provide a home for a guinea pig in time for Christmas?

STARescue recently gave temporary accommodation to 19 dumped guinea pigs, and all of them need loving new homes.

Among them are males and females of a variety of ages, including castrated males Conner and Bengi.

Both need patient owners and would appreciate some female company, too.

Full dietary and care advice will be given upon adoption.

STARescue currently has a very large number of guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs of all ages in urgent need of new homes.

Anyone able to give Conner and Bengi, or any other pet, a suitable home can call the animal charity on 01256 330532 and leave their name and telephone number.

STARescue would also like to appeal to the public for any unwanted animal food to help feed the hundreds of animals they look after.

Donations of wet or dry food, as well as greens, are always gratefully received. If you can help, call the above number and leave your details.

Further information on every aspect of the work of STARescue is available online at starescue.info.
