Wheekful Blessings Guinea Pig Sanctuary

Please help if you can. A dear friend and incredible supporter of our sanctuary is in urgent need of help. One of her beloved guinea pigs requires lifesaving surgery, and she is trying to raise $700 to make it happen.

I have personally donated $200 because I know how much she loves and cares for her animals, and now I'm hoping our amazing community can help with the rest.

If you're able to donate, no matter how small the amount, it truly makes a difference. If donating isn't possible right now, please consider sharing her fundraiser. Sometimes a single share reaches the person who is able to help save a life.

Thank you all for always showing up for animals in need.

Well... I discovered why some of the lettuce looked so strange today. Somehow the temperature on our refrigerator got turned down, and part of the lettuce froze. Unfortunately, once lettuce freezes and then thaws, it wilts and spoils very quickly.

That has put us in a bit of a pinch because I now have to replace a good portion of the veggies much sooner than expected to make sure everyone continues getting fresh food.

If anyone would like to help us restock vegetables, it would be incredibly appreciated, but please don't ever feel obligated. The piggies will be fed regardless, it just means an unexpected expense that I wasn't planning for this week.

As always, thank you for supporting Wheekful Blessings and helping me provide the best care possible for these amazing little lives. ❤️🥬

Winry Update ❤️

I wanted to give everyone a quick update on Winry.

She is currently 7 days into her antibiotic treatment. Unfortunately, we haven't seen any improvement yet. The good news is that she also isn't getting any worse, so for now we're just continuing her medications and monitoring her closely.

At her last appointment, the veterinarian wanted to recheck her after 10 days. The soonest we were able to get her back in is next Friday at 10:30 a.m. Hopefully we'll be able to get some answers and determine our next steps if the antibiotics aren't doing what we had hoped.

If anyone would like to help with the cost of Winry's continued veterinary care, donations are always appreciated, but please don't ever feel obligated. Your support, kind words, and sharing our posts mean just as much to us.

Thank you for continuing to keep sweet Winry in your thoughts. We are all hoping she starts feeling better soon. ❤️🐹

At this time, Wheekful Blessings Guinea Pig Sanctuary is officially closed to new intakes.

This is never an easy decision, but I have reached my maximum capacity of 13 guinea pigs, including my own personal pigs. As much as I wish I could say yes to every guinea pig in need, I also have a responsibility to ensure every resident already in my care continues receiving the time, attention, veterinary care, and financial support they deserve.

My promise has always been quality of care over quantity. Taking in more than I can responsibly care for would not be fair to the animals already depending on me.

If space becomes available in the future, I will make an announcement on this page.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need help. While I may not be able to take your guinea pig into the sanctuary, I am more than happy to point you in the direction of other reputable rescues, sanctuaries, or resources that may be able to assist.

Thank you all for your understanding, your support, and for helping me continue to give these amazing little pigs the love and care they deserve. ❤️🐹

Throwback to Shakira's very first vet appointment. ❤️

Eight months ago, I walked into that appointment terrified that I was going to walk back out without her.

Shakira was so frail, so weak, and I truly believed I had gotten to her too late. There were people who told me the kindest thing I could do was euthanize her. Even the vet wasn't sure she would be with me much longer.

But then something happened that I'll never forget.

I bent down, put my face right next to hers, and started talking to her. She looked up at me and began kissing me, licking my nose and my lips. In that moment, I knew she was different from any guinea pig I had ever taken in. There was something so special about her, and I knew I had to fight for her because she was fighting too.

She proved every prediction wrong.

Eight months later, she's still here. She's still sassy, still full of personality, and still reminding everyone that statistics don't get the final say.

Shakira didn't just survive. She changed my life. And I'll forever be grateful that I took a chance on a little guinea pig that so many had already given up on. ❤️🐹
