I am delighted to announce that we were able to remove and rescue ALL guinea pigs from this home on April 6, 2021 to permanently put an end to the breeding and suffering these animals were forced to endure for many years.
Approximately 180 males and 74 female guinea pigs were removed from the home. They had been suffering from some time and that is visible upon close inspections. Almost all of the 180 males suffer from many bite wounds, eye infections, missing eyes, broken legs, URI’s, Scurvy , missing and broken teeth and possible malocclusion issues due to a diet that was lacking in fiber needed to keep teeth strong and healthy. I did not expect that there would be that many sickly and suffering males. These pigs were left to fend for themselves in a free range situation and from what I understand were fed a diet of Raw potatoes, carrot and bread only. No hay, no vitamin C right foods. I expect a lot of malocclusion issues because of it. We have created ICU cages that currently house the worst 15 males but truthfully ALL males are suffering from one thing or another and choosing who got the ICU cage were tough decisions today.
While catching and picking up all the females I noticed some huge bellies and estimate that 2/3rd of the 74 female guinea pigs are pregnant. Guinea pigs have 2 -4 pups per litter so that means technically we are going to be caring for another 150 baby guinea pigs that will all be born in the next 8 weeks,
So if the baby boom does indeed happen the total of guinea pigs we will care for not including our own pigs, will come to a total of 404 guinea pigs to care, house, feed and provide vet care for.
We hired a new full time team member to help care because there is no way our existing team will be able to take on all these pigs as well and do am acceptable job. We need to hire another part time person to help with their care as well.
The care for the males is intensive
Our needs are going to be great to care for this long suffering group but think we can work our magic and can save almost everyone. Oh I cant wait to show you how well they are doing on a daily basis. Their eyes will have no more infections, their teeth will be fixed, wounds all healed, URI’s all fixed and after many years suffering like this it is the most precious gift we can give these innocent little beings.
Since this is an active criminal investigation I and all volunteers and team members of the LAPR are not in a position to comment, share any specifics what so ever and / or have a public personal opinion on the matter lest it interferes with the active investigation. We all want to see justice done so please respect this and don’t ask questions we can’t answer.

It just breaks my heart how animals are treated like objects and not cared for properly. Thank you for saving them Saskia❤️
Anyone who cares for their animal properly knows it’s SO MUCH WORK. It may as well be caring for a child. Thank god LAGPR was able to help.
I fully agree. I cannot stand people's carlesness, lack of knowledge in this day and age with access to every information possible. Complete ignorance and disregard for the lifes of animals to breed them and then put them thru hell. Ppl should have a licence to have pets honestly.
And how people could just think that animals don't have feelings and that they can treat them like old toys leaving them to fend for themselves
I know how you feel....I feel a slight tinge of guilt as I eat all manner of animals for my enjoyment and to sustain my health.....I also feel guilty as I like looking at guinea pigs videos and find them cute with those blank stare into space, dumb as a bag rocks looks...so adorable right but I am immensely curious as to how they would taste considering they have better diets than me🤷🏾♂️😋. They are actually a staple in some parts of the world esp. the Cuy breed
@@siennalewis1088 Get those guinea pigs back to good health and they will be good eating. Cuy are a delicacy in many places in South America.
Oh my, God will surely bless you for giving the precious babies the love they need. We have 2 beautiful babies and love them so much. They helped our daughter through a very hard time in life. If we lived closer, I would have to volunteer to help give them the love that they need so much. Our prayers are with you. Thank you for caring so much for God's creations.
I couldn’t think of a more worthy cause to donate, I hope it helps.
Thank you Jessica !!!I haven't slept yet - too happy we finally got all of them!!!!
Just donated tonight as well. Thank you for everything you do.
@@FifthGate thank you sooo much!!!
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue you need your rest dear Saskia, those piggies need you to be strong for what's coming next. You're an angel. I didn't feel angry, I felt so sad for all of them, but everyone will get so much better under your care. I wish I could be there to help you guys. All our admiration and support from Mexico 🥰
Donating now.. every month, I will send what ever I can. God bless you all!
I think some of the guinea pigs know you're saving them that's why they're so calm when you're holding them they know your heart. I believe animals have a sixth sense and our feelings are more intense than ours
Thank you for rescuing all of these poor guinea pigs Sasha, ❤❤❤
I am so happy that you got these piggies. You talk to the piggies with such a sweet gentle tone. So glad that they are free from a bad environment. They probably feel like they are at the Hilton on vacation.
I love that description: vacation at the best piggy hotel 😄
@@andrielisilien It really is, though. The boarders all seem to enjoy their time there.
@andrielisilien the critical cases, they are ALONE in those cages and not having to compete - it must be like heaven!!!
Please people if you can adopt one or more of these poor neglected piggies,and give them the love and care they so desperately need.
I would love to adopt one but I live in Houston,Tx 😭😭😭😭😭😭 but I'm an experienced guinea pig mom 🐱❤ wish I could really adopt one he or she will free roam my room! Plus there's a fridge in my room for veggies I own a bunny so I also have hay in my room for my precious bunny Jack 🐇🐰
From NY and I dream about being able to adopt more than my 4 piggies but sadly I haven’t the room 😔
I love that moment when they are put down and look around ." Hey where am I, nice cage and food -I must be in heaven".
I feel sad for the family too. Animal hording usually starts with animal love and then it gets over your power. They should have called for help but who are we to judge. So glad you got the boys too. They will be beautiful when they got medicine and good food. All these longhaired pigs will be beautiful. So you need lots of peppers and parsley I would send you some but it is a bit far away. Greetings from Germany.
May they all get the care they deserve. 🙏
This really brought the painful reality of guinea pig hoarding into the light its so sad.
That poor little black and white one, precious baby reminded me of a skunk. I would have loved that little fella...so much. I don't own any piggies because of my cats but my goodness I could never ever imagine doing this to such an angel...
Oh my THANK YOU ALL for saving these piggies! You are all angels. God bless.
@@robertmcbride6739 Saskia asked in the video to not have this kind negative dialogue about the family, to keep it positive. Be thankful the cavies are going to get the care they need. A lot of people show up in the comments of both channels.
@@jessgates4082 it's not my place to say by name, but it's in one of Saskia's older large scale rescue videos from before.
@@robertmcbride6739 Just wait till the investigation is over than we'll know the full story.

Please don't say you look bad, the beauty of your heart always shines on your face ❤
I want to be with all Guinea Pigs all the day and every days.
Saskia, Ursula, Gabe, and everyone else, thank you for rescuing these precious animals. My heart breaks for the pain they must be experiencing. As the mommy of 7 rescue piggies with 3 well loved former hoarder GPs, I am so grateful that you are able to this work. I’m not sure I would have the fortitude to see this kind of suffering without attacking the perpetrators. You are living by example, the very best life.
I’m sitting here watching this with tears in my eyes next to my two healthy Guinea pigs, that I have had since Christmas, 4 weeks. They both had upper respiratory infections when I adopted them and have been seen by an emergency vet for antibiotics. They are popcorning around their clean cage and then begging for pea flakes. They are very spoiled princesses who I love so so much. It breaks my heart seeing this abuse and neglect.
You are an ANGEL for rescuing these poor animals!!! Many blessings in getting them all well.
This just breaks my heart to the core. Thank you to the entire LAGPR team, you all are amazing. Thank you so much for saving these piggies. I can't stop crying, these poor piggies. I just don't understand people. Thank you again Saskia and team, you are all amazing!
Saskia,
You are a Guardian Angel to Guinea Pigs.
❤️ 🐹 I am crying tears of both love and sadness for these guys and girls. 🐹❤️
They are now in great hands and all have better days ahead of them.
💕🐹 Angie 🐹💕

Iv never felt so much hatred for humanity and yet so much love for humanity.
The people who hurt these adorable animals are worse than scum.
You guys on the other hand are wonderful people, true heroes thank you for restoring my faith in the human race
Saski you restore my faith in humanity you and your volunteers are beautiful people bless you all xxx 💗 💖 🌺 🤗
I spent most of this video trying not to cry. I am very, very, angry at whoever did this, but I will try to do as you say, and just be happy that from this day forward they won't be suffering anymore. Thank you so much for what you do.
With animal hoarders, it's not so cut and dry. They usually are animal lovers and things get out of hand. It's sad.
Saskia - you should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for your intro... so diplomatic and caring ❤️❤️ when I watched the footage I felt something else omg.... such neglect and cruelty. Thank you for an amazing rescue 🐹🐹🌈 you are a super star ❤️
I know exactly what you mean by that
This is so sad 😞 This is proof that not all heroes wear capes ❤️
I am really, really impressed that you have been rescuing guinea pigs for so many years and still keep on rescuing them. I imagine that it's mentally tough seeing so many sick and injured guinea pigs.
God bless these sweet creatures and their caregivers.
It was so heartbreaking seeing the condition of some of these sweet piggies, but at least we know they are in the best hands now. I'm so glad that this hoarding situation was finally brought to an end so no more piggies will suffer.
Saskia you deserve the equivalent of a knighthood for your services to those lovely piggies.your truly amazing.much love from the UK.
Thank you sooooo much for saving these precious precious piggy’s every piggy maters you are so kind to save these precious babies you are so wonderful and loving to thes piggy’s! THANK YOU!
Iam crying iam so happy the piggies are safe
Breaks my heart!! Thank you Saskia and everyone for saving their lives!!!

It's going to be so hard, but I know you guys will pour every ounce of energy you have into helping these little ones. THANK YOU
How ANY human could EVER hurt or abuse any type of animal will forever boggle my mind.
They are the purest form of love there is.
Thank you for what you do. ♥♥♥
You are Beautiful!❤
Saskia, I know you were so tired, worn out from you mission of mercy, and you said you looked like a mess, but to each and every one of those sweet little piggies you rescued, you looked like an angel 😇 ❤️ thank you for everything you do! ❤️
This is so upsetting that people are so evil and no heart for how they treat these piggies. All of the eye issues on the poor piggies. This is so sad that stupid people can just neglect animals. Thank You for you and your staff for helping these precious piggies.
God will bless these veterinarians😀😀😀💖👍👍saving those guinea pigs.
I’m in tears happy and sad!!!! Thank you for saving these sweet babies!!!!! Our duty as humans is to care for animals better than nature would!!! You all are super heroes!!!!
Wow - intense. Sending a donation!
Thank you - this will break the bank so we need help - thank you!!!!!
@@LosAngelesGuineaPigRescue Hmm....then I will see about giving more next pay day. I will plan on making some sacrifices, use food coupons, skip Starbucks, etc.
@@karijaneify I am doing this too! I donated already but I want to donate even more so I turned my Instacart app back on to make some extra cash and ended up getting a $300 promo from them! Now I can donate even more! If I had gotten a stimulus check, I would’ve probably just gave the entire thing to guinea pigs 🥰♥️.
It kills me to see the males in such horrible shape. I have guinea pigs of my own and I tell them that they are lucky that they came from a good rescue. Thank you Saskia and all the volunteers for helping all the guinea pigs you do!!!
I have 5 piggies. I can not imagine 250 😱
Oh the boys they look they were all housed together and fought. I am sure getting meds and treatment feels so good.
Just want to give them all snuggles once they enjoy the snuggles.
We have 12, 8 rescues
You are so kind for doing that thank you so much 😘
I gotta admit I had myself a good cry over these babies, but it just goes to show how important the work you do is. From education for owners to these life saving rescues you pull off. You are amazing, all of you. I'll be sending supplies and donations your way. I wish I was closer and could help you more with what I know is going to be months of round the clock care.
It's so unfair. Thank you all for rescuing them.
God bless you ❤ you are amazing
OMG 😭 The poor males 💔 Thank god you rescued them 🙏 and they are in your expert care 😇❤️
You all are awesome for rescuing all of those guinea pigs!
Immediately went to your website to donate some money that I could spare, I hope it helps with treating and caring for these guys ❤ Thank you LA Guinea Pig Rescue for all your hard work!!
Yasss I am donating next paycheck
Thank you! Every penny counts and will be used for the care of all of our guinea pigs. We are so grateful for our supporters!
You guys are the best.
Thanks Saskia guinea pigs resuced team help a lot piggies 🙏👍👍👍❤❤❤
thank God this is over and for the LAGPR ❤ donation attached
It is horrible that they are all poorly but I’m glad you took them to your rescue
I literally thank God for people like you. You understand them and the caring is obvious. Bless you every one. Piggies are one of the most harmless animals around. I suppose the wounds are from severe neglect and fights over women and buts if food. Just as allGods creatures, they just us humans to live live them and support them. I am crying seeing these. Who would let hem get this way? A piggie farm? Who will take these sick babies and love them? All are beiaurifful
I’m amazed at the love you guys show these little creatures that others are treating like trash. I’m glad that you began the video with asking people to refrain from negativity and to look forward and not back. This just reminds me how much my little piggies depend on me!
Can't stop crying so sad god bless y'all for helping them...
I love hearing the boars Wheeking..."THis is better than where we came from" So sad the eyes and wounds but great they can get attended too and the sows are much better eh You do an awesome job all of you
God bless you for helping these Guinea pigs❤️
It reminds me of a situation I was in about two years ago. My sister and her kids were in a bit of a bind because of a 'Rona outbreak. I got a call for help, and was on the road in a couple hours. I drove straight from Baltimore to Houston; with stops for gas, food, stretching, etc it was a 26 hour journey. (Thank you Monster Energy for your assistance.😅) It’s awesome how humans can find the ability to jump into action when they’re needed.🙂
Thank God their are people like Saskia and her team to help these poor cavies!
I’ve just been thinking of Spaghett who was a Norcal rescue who is now living the life as a Guinea Pig 🐹 should, and hoping the same future for all these Piggies 🐹 and thank goodness they are now safe and getting the care and treatment that they deserve Thank you 🙏 LAGPR for all your work with these marvellous Piggies 🐹
Wait spaghett? Do you have a UA-cam channel..and one of your other pigs is zucchin?
@@Mslavender1982 It’s Pigs, is the channel with Spaghett, who was a Norcal rescue, I love ❤️ that piggie 🐹, and no it’s nt my channel
@@narellemacpherson6451 whhat spaghett is one of the norcal rescue? No wonder he is a ginger. Love their channel. So happy for him that he is living the life.
Spaghett!! 🤩🤩 he’s such a character, I’m obsessed with all their pigs
@@handy3hard Yes, Spaghett was a bubba born from the Norcal700 rescue (and all of the piggies from It's Pigs are from LAGPR). His name at the rescue was Preston, and you can spot him on Scotty's channel too, because Scotty attempted to bond him with Gari so that he could take him. LOL it didn't work out...
Great people thank God you are going to do your best in saving these beautiful animals. Every guinea pig is so beautiful. I have never seen an ugly one. Now,I know what angels look like, you two. Thankyou. ❤
What a bunch of beauties!
You will be ok piggies you are in the best place .
Woah..yeah, that was difficult to see. I have seen my fair share of cruelty, but this is a whole new level. Thank you for the preparation before playing the footage. Online judging does not help the pigs, nor does it encourage people to ever seek help if they are in difficulty. So I really appreciate your talk before showing us today. I will share this in Iowa on my piggy page. You guys are going to need a lot of help. Thank you for sharing;g and thank you for helping these special piggies. All life is important no matter how small. 🙏🏻
I’m from Iowa! Thank you for sharing this.
@@kayesguineapigs
Hi there...a fellow Iowan piggy lover. Awesome. I am near Cedar Rapids...
The attitude you displayed during the intro of this video is unbelievable. That is the true heart of rescue. So admirable. ❤
I"m surprised there weren't like 200 babies! Thank God these piggies were given to your care. Animals hoarders make me SO mad.
I love the long haired piggies … SO very beautiful ♥️xx
God bless you for what you do❤
Oh my goodness, thank you Saskia and Gabe for their rescue! I can only imagine how tough it was to stay on point and go through the process of sorting them out when you first saw them.
It breaks 💔 to hear that these beautiful animals treated so terribly. I'm so greatful to people like yourself that have rescued and care for these defenseless Ginnie pigs. I love these creatures I have 2 of my own. Such a shame I live on the UK 🇬🇧 not the USA and can help you adopt these beautiful Ginnie pigs. Love you guys God bless you and your organisation ❤💛💚🌈🐹🐹🌈💚💛❤🌈💚💛
I ran a reptile rescue for 10 years and was in your shoes too many times. I feel for you. One rescue they snuck in a Guinea Pig. They labled it live food. Well she was pregnant and a few days later I looked in the cage and there were 4 babies running around. I swear I was only gone for an hour. They looked like little trebels from Star Trec. I was shocked at how they were running around right after birth. Very independent. Needless to say, they never became anyones "Food" and I found homes for them all.
Those poor babies so glad they are in a great place now
Having never had a piggie in my 63 years, I’ve learned so much from Saskia and learn more on each video. I don’t think I’ll ever own one but I’m amazed at all that goes into them. Without love, they cannot thrive. Thank you Saskia, for all you do for the piggies.
Saskia,
What you're doing at you're rescue is very inspiring to alot of people. I've decided you need my stimulus check more than I do. Enjoy the donation 💙
You are a Angel from above 😇 God bless.
You guys are Angels! These poor babies, I can't understand how people can sleep at night when they have animals in this condition around them, makes me so upset! Thank God for you guys and that something was finally done to get these guys saved!
Set aside everything else - the eyes! I can only imagine how it must hurt. Bless you for saving them.
Poor little piggies,it’s certainly going to take a lot of work to get these guys feeling better...Tks everyone ,,,cheers
Thank you for rescuing them. Not a good situation.
Wow, deja vu. When I saw this video pop up I thought it was one of the first videos you shot of your first large rescue. This must have been a huge physically and emotionally challenging rescue and the hard work is just beginning with having to care for such injured and sick piggies. Thank goodness that you have the experience and skill to be able to handle such an incredibly difficult situation. God bless for all you do and please take care of yourselves!
Sending all of my love - I know all of these precious little sweeties are healthy and happy two years on now from being in your capable hands. Seeing rescues such as this makes me hold my 3 piggies so much closer. Thank you for all that you do!❤
God bless you and all the volunteers who work and give so tirelessly to provide these guinea pigs a better quality of life.
Thank you so much for helping them 💕
I woud like to thank everyone at LA rescue for taking care of all this pigs .
Just donated! Thank you for all you do! God bless all of you! Your hard work and dedication is amazing!
Thank you for all your kindnesses to these sweet piggies!
I'm in tears! Thank you for all you do for the babies. We rescued in my younger days abd I loved it. We only have one now but I love these precious animals!
Thank you again! God Bless all of you!
I donated 20 which isnt much but I am spreading the word about your organization which is an amazing and wonderful thing!
Me to.
Saskia is an absolute angel and so is the whole crew. So sad but happy they got out of the bad place
Saskia, try giving them bowls of water. They may not know how to drink from bottles maybe? Just a thought. So glad you are able to help these little fellows. I have an elderly male myself and they take a lot of special attention. But he is such a sweetie. I have learned so much from watching you and I know he is getting better care now because of you.
Thank you so so so much for helping these little babies it's people like u guy's who give me faith in this shitty world of only if only there were more people like you ❤️❤️
you do so much for these piggies and it’s greatly appreciated 💕
My heart is broken but I'm so happy that they are at the rescue now and can get the care and love that they need! Thank you and your team for all that y'all do for these little guys.
What a huge task ahead of you & your team.
It took along time of neglect & abuse large group it's going to take the same amount of time to treat & medicate them & adopt out.
I was in tears when I saw the poor health conditions of these poor animals who deserve better living conditions. And love of course!!!
Wow. This is so sad. You’re right though Saskia, hate solves nothing. The Piggies are safe now and surrounded by love. Thank goodness for you and the LAGPR ❤️❤️❤️
Can't tell you how upsetting,this is,poor babies,but thank God they're in good hands now
My I bet those beautiful piggies thoughts were thank goodness were in heaven no more pain no more hunger no more fear!! We are truly blessed! I am going tomorrow morning and deposit my check so I can help these beautiful animals they truly deserve it please help them they have so many many many problems. She truly needs help with them. And you will feel better knowing you help no matter how much it will truly help her and theses poor piggies. I truly think that they did not have what they needed to eat and that is why they are in sooo unhealthy blindness and all the issues. Bless you all
Thank goodness someone loves guinea pigs, such precious little critters! 6 hrs sleep or not, you are a lovely beautiful,lady . Handsome man has most wonderful smile after marathon drive! Happy these piggies are in a loving place.
A tragedy, good that you save the Guinea pigs - ty for the miracle
Those poor wee piggies with the eye injuries and missing eyes, I’m appalled. The pain they must have endured for so long. It doesn’t bear thinking about. Let alone the broken limbs. I’m almost crying. I love little animals like guinea pigs, hamsters etc. How can people neglect them so? They should be made to work in the shelter, day in and day out, seven days a week, 14 hours a day, under constant supervision. I wonder if that would work? You do fantastic work. Absolutely amazing work. As they say in NZ your blood is worth bottling!
My god, this is painful to watch. It breaks my heart to think that there are people that treat animals this way. It's good that there are people like you around.
Today is a good day. What a blessing that this is FINALLY over and the remaining pigs will finally have a good start at life. The work being done at this rescue is ground breaking!!!
I can't even. I don't know if I can finish the video. WTH You have the heartache of having to give a lot of those precious piggies mercy 🥺 💔 😢 😔 😞
