See? This is because of YOU that they are alive. OH. My stars, I'm so delighted that they have a good life ahead of them. Happy tears. And to that AWM fan, on behalf of everyone in the rest of the AWM fandom, thank you for being an ambassador for the animals as well.
Those guinea pigs found their way out of that alley and onto Easy Street.
Man. I was homeless for a year and a half and STILL kept my cats. When I finally realized I wasn't going to be able to keep them in the car with me anymore, I gave them to a cousin. Six years later, that STILL kills me. The idea of just leaving two defenseless animals to die is utterly alien to me. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it.
i mean depending on your areas climate your cats prolly wouldve done just fine in the wild tbh
First of all I'm sorry that you were made homeless. That itself is cruel enough.
To have to give up your cats on top of that is beyond words 😥
@@griffinodavis Did you even watch the video? On top of that, do you know anything about cats and ecosystems? They are a complete disaster for local ecosystems when let outside or feral, equivalent to natural disaster levels of decimation to local wildlife populations. Cats alone kill billions of birds per year, and they even hunt and kill animals they don't even eat. Please do not ever advocate for people to simply turn loose their cats if they can't care for the, or to let them wander at all. Not just because cats born and raised inside often die quickly when abandoned, but also because of their devastating effects on the planet's wildlife.
@@indulgentenhydra5997 didnt advocate for it. just letting the owner know that there was a good chance there cat live. stop being so fuckin negative about it.
@@griffinodavis Don't care, stop suggesting that domesticated animals thrive int he wild.
I can not thank you enough for helping all animals you can, I’m glad the guniea pigs are getting a bigger room, people misunderstand them just because they are called small pets
They may be small, but try to scale that enclosure to human scale by body length and see if it’s big enough to actually live in. And by “live in” I mean no “free-roaming” i.e. leaving the area.
@@ragnkja yes that’s a very good test
A chance that your follower found them before they froze to death. They are going to have a good life now.
When I was a kid i rescued a pair male and female from a neighbor who blankly told me that if i wanted i could take them because his kids were not interested anymore and he planned to killed them. Knowing the family i knew it was not a joke. I run to my house to see my mother. At first she said no, but changed her mind when i told her they will be dead soon.
They died from old age at my house.
Those poor piggies, cookie seems really tame and brave, it breaks my heart that people can do this kind of thing to innocent creatures. Thank you Animal Wonders for helping them and your subscriber for rescuing them.
I love guinea pigs so much, the little chunter noise you got at the end of the video made me smile.
So glad you were able to help them. It is great to see care of guinea pigs improving - this was what we have been teaching for years . Well done.
Hi Lyn, Wow I been finding you everywhere❗
Who takes in a pet and then dumps them? Why not just call the previous owners and explain it's not working out? Or just re-list them online? I know that's still not ideal, but there is no excuse to just leave them like that.
when i was a kid, i had 6 guinea pigs; one used to ride around on my shoulder under my hair like a shy parrot on a pirate. there’s definitely a special place in my heart for these funky little creatures. glad they’re in safe hands now!
I got my rescue GP, Peanut, from a friend's son...who got him from a dumpster here in hot, dry Phoenix, AZ. Even then he wasn't' being cared for. His tiny 'cage' was atrocious and he was in over an inch of maggot infested poop. Now he lives semi-free range in my office and has bonded with my dog. The cruelty of people would be overwhelmingly depressing but people like you and the awesome man who rescued these cuties bring hope to the world.
Peanut sounds like a wonderful piggie. And you seem like a wonderful person for giving him a loving home.
@@princesssuperpeach4338 He's a joy. He follows me around the house demanding scratches and treats. I've done a fair bit of animal rescuing and foster but he is my first GP.
I'm happy to hear that you took him in, but guinea pigs should allways be held in groups. They are very social little guys and need at least one partner guinea pig. Hope you find a way to provide him with that and make him an even happier piggy =)
@@DeadGirlsPoem agreed and I had that conversation with my vet already. I don't have the space for a 2nd one nor the time and he has bonded to my dog so she recommended not getting another one, which he might bully (he's a biiiig boy), unless he seemed distressed.
@@DeadGirlsPoem if would be different if he was in his cage all day but I work nights and from home so between me and my dog Peanut gets plenty of attention.
This was such a cool format! It's really lovely to see you getting new animals set up in action when that works for the rescue situation :)
Also I can't thank you enough for your empathetic message - which is exactly what makes people more likely to turn to appropriate sources of support when needed.
They seem pretty well mannered! Happy you guys are able to look after them :)
My empathy kinda ends when someone is willing to throw live animals out with the trash...
Same here.
Same 😑
I love your videos sooo much, you are always soo kind and I hope you can educate millions of people, I’m glad you uploaded
It’s horrible the way that people treat small animals. Just cos they’re small and common people treat them like they’re disposable. I used to rescue rats and honestly…..rats left without food for a week(yes that’s what the “owner” told me), rats left loose in abandoned houses, rats dumped outdoors, or kept outside so with respiratory infections and injuries from wild rat attacks……people can be disgusting. Glad these guys are with you now Jessi….lucky boys.
Thank you and the young man for rescuing these two sweet guinea pigs. You are making this world a better place by educating people about animals and raising awareness of how to treat pets.
Omigosh, the original owners must have been MORTIFIED to find out that the "new home" just abandoned these sweet creatures!!! 😢
We found our first guinea pig in an old pet store cage on the side of the road near our house early one morning about 4 years ago. He is such a love bug and we're so happy to have him and our 3 other guinea pigs!
I love how even though they're clearly nervous we can already see their personalities a little, cookie is clearly more adventurous and outgoing while doe is more shy and reserved! I'm glad these cuties are safe and well cared for
My dog's name is Cookie Dough! She's also a rescue, and, as far as I know, her rescuers were the ones who named her.
Also, I teared up when I heard that the Guinea pigs' rescuer had had a visit from you eight years ago. The animal education continues to save lives!
Somebody at one time must have treated them good because they love to be held
Even in the short time they were on camera - and I know that there are edits in this so this wasn't really just fifteen minutes, probably more like nearly an hour - but still! After the upsetting time they've surely had, to be able to relax because of the things you provided.... wonderful. I'm not very familiar with guinea pigs but they have enough similarities to rats that it seems obvious to me these two little ones are VERY relieved to be warm and safe and given positive attention. Not to mention PUMPKIN!
A wonderful little rescue story!
I saw the word guinea pig and came immeditately! Also is that shredded cardboard you have as substrate?
Yes! Shredded cardboard for ever!
I had a rescue guinea pig as a pet when I was a teenager and loved him so much. Glad I was able to give him a good life. Thank you for what you do!
Glad they are safe! Poor Dough looks so traumatized. The seed of kindness you helped nurture 8 years ago has blossomed wonderfully.
you not only are taking care of them directly, but you also taught a new generation of animal lovers what's the right thing to do, thats a job well done
You might want to mention that guinea pigs must have food specifically made for them and not just any pellet food will work. Like food for rabbits, for example. Because guinea pigs can't produce their own vitamin C.
As a owner of two angry burritos, this is very sad.
Also them giving you that stare was preciouse 👑✨
I was able to take care of the runt of a guinea pig litter. She was a sweetheart, though she was always a little jumpy. She sadly died of a heart murmur at three and a half years old. She was so tiny though that I'm always surprised by the size of adult guinea pigs when I see them. 😁 I hope these cute little boys have a wonderful life, wherever they end up. ❤
I sent a box of things for the animals today and you should get it soon. When you get It can you open it on camera? 🐹🐰🐢🐍🦎🦊
Tysm to the AWM fan who saved them and called you! Cookie and Dough would be dead otherwise 😕
All I can say is, thank you for helping those babies, I've loved animals all my life and I've had Guinea Pigs for just over 7 years. They are smelly loving potatoes ♥. You've said everything I would say, but thank you.
Sweet little piggies. ❤ Cookie is such a brave little lad. I can't wait to see Dough's personality show under yall's expert care. Here's to hoping they get along with the herd! But if not we all know you'll find them a loving, nurturing home. 🤗
I work at a shelter. It's illegal for us to take in an animal that was found in a different county so when someone brought us a pair of guinea pigs from a neighboring county, we were worried that they would be abandoned. Sure enough, the next day, they were found down the road. Luckily, we found them before it got too cold. People are heartless sometimes.
Do you know why that's a law?? That's so weird :(
@@OhMagicalUnicornLord so if someone loses their pet (or a pet gets stolen) out of a county, they are likely to look for their pet in their county only
@@emilyscott6274 ah, that makes sense. thanks :)
Animals of the wild should be left in the wild, animals of the home should be left in the home. I'm happy for these little dopes.
As a guinea pig nerd myself, you acknowledging that your cage is temporary and stating how much space they need for their permanent one ,made me press like 😊
Its so frustrating that this happens, there are so many places and people that will take unwanted pets and even here in the UK when we were in lock down all the rescue places managed to keep going, I'm sure it was the same in the US. Plus there are always independent specialists for most types of pets who specifically take and rehome all types of animals, a quick search online is all it takes. Guinea pigs are such great pets and these two are adorable and seem very tame too so they must have been well cared for at some point.
Oh, congratulations to them both! Is there any concern that their previous owners might try to reclaim them?
I'm SO happy they're O.k.! I saw this video in my UA-cam feed, Oh, I can't bare the thought that these precious animals would freeze!! I actually pray every night that animals who are in harms way would be found and cared for! I have 5 piggies, I just lost my boar Patches, he passed from pneumonia, and it was way too sudden! He was getting better, I have a great exotic vet, and an emergency one too, but after a course of antibiotics, he was O.k. for a few days, then went downhill quickly after that. Seeing these piggies warm and fed is such a great thing! Thank you for helping!
Because i read quite many comments that say they only have one guinea pig: these animals are very social and should allways be held in groups of at least two, better three and more. And their companion has to be a guinea pig, not a rabbit or anything else. Think of it as if you'd have to live your whole life alone, without anyone you can communicate with.
Even if you have the feeling that your guinea pig is very close to you, you can never be the same for it as another guinea pig would be. Please, do your little friend a favor and get it a buddy. Or give it to someone who is able to keep more than one. I know this sounds harsh, but in the end, we want the best for our little furry friends, don't we?
In Switzerland, it's actually illegal to only have one guinea pig. They have to be sold in pairs.
Hi!! I need a little advice…
So my mom and I decided to visit a bird shop to get another parakeet- but what we saw truly horrified us.. so it turns out that it was a tiny pet shop, THE SIZE OF A ROOM, there were reptiles, dogs, and mainly: birds
There were only 7 cages with ALL KINDS OF BIRDS the one that truly got my attention was full of parakeets. It had over 30 parakeets and the cage was meant for four birds. Parakeets had plucked their feathers out and The dogs also were allowed to run around in the store.
I don’t know what to do, I feel guilty just leaving all of those poor animals in such a tight space- got any advice…?
Cookie looks a lot like my first pet! I just brought him home from a friend who had baby guinea pigs. And lo and behold the discussion about pets was over and I could keep him. He developed a tumour in his throat several years later and I was still a preteen when the vet and my dad tried to explain why euthanasia would be the kindest solution: It was very traumatic - but I didn't leave him until he was dead in my hands. - Thank you very much for all you do!
Whoever adopted them off of Craigslist probably didn't realize how big they'd be/how much room they'd need...since most of the guinea pigs you see in pet stores are babies/juveniles...That's still no excuse for just abandoning them, though. :( I've never had any GPs, always used to think they were too jumpy when I'd see them in pet stores, but I've since heard they calm down once they get to know you. Either way, I don't have the room for them right now anyway, and at least I knew that before even thinking about getting one, heh.
Ooohhhh.... The brown and white one looks just like my Wicket. I miss him so much, he passed this year and it hasn't been the same without him.
Cookie looks like the reincarnation of Sylvester from Little Adventures.
Why are Craigslist allowing people to sell animals?
I thought they wouldn't do that. :(
So glad a fellow Animal Wonderer found them and saved the day! ❤❤❤
I appreciate what you did for those piggies and I understand that they are quarantined, but the space you've provided sucks. I know it was only temporary but still. Adding so many toys cramped the area even more. They didn't even have the space to turn around.
One year my dad and cousin were out deer hunting and when they were headed back to my dad’s truck after not catching anything, they found a puppy up under the front of the truck. Where they were at was coyote county so that puppy would have not survived if my dad and cousin had not been there. Rescuing animals can happen anytime anywhere. Hope Cookie and Dough are healthy to be able to find their forever home.
15 square feet for a pair? where is this from?
I am from CAnada and I can't find any information here, I know in the usa they say minimum 8 square feet for a pair.
People who abandon animals, any animals should be arrested, jailed, fined, etc. If it were up to me they would meet a bloody end.
And that, folks, is why you don’t sell living beings on Craigslist 🙃

Happy Thanksgiving AnimalWonders Montana!
lol looks like making pig enrichment is human enrichment XD
Heartbreaking how some people can be so callous to animals. Whoever left them out by the dumpster should be charged with animal cruelty. Shouldn't be too hard to ID them, given that the former owners placed the animals with them just 2 weeks ago?
I was thinking it's possible the original owners could be the ones that abandoned them if they weren't able to adopt them out. I've personally experienced someone doing this in my neighborhood this past summer with a guinea pig and bunny. Somehow, they both ended up in front of my apartment building and I spotted them as I was heading out to the store one day. I captured both and contacted the local humane society who came and picked them up.
I have a guinea pig I love this animal so much your two guinea pigs are very beautiful
Aww how can people be cruel to piggies
thank you so much for saving them they could of died but thanks to you these sweeties are alive
Alhamdulia they're alive. 🙏
Seeing a rescue in action is amazing!!
So many sick individuals roaming among us..why would anyone treat such cute animals is beyond comprehension..smh
Btw, if 8 lived in Montana, I would snatch them up, they're PRECIOUS!!
Thank you for giving them a second chance at life. It breaks my heart how these sweet creatures were treated. They are so helpless! People can be selfish and cruel.
Thank you for helping these adorable furkiddos. ❤ You gave them a second chance in life! 🥰
Hi. I am looking to find a home to two beautiful Guinea pigs. I am in Long Island, New York. Do you happen to have resources on Long Island you can refer? Any help would be appreciated
POOR GIUNIPIGS!!!
That's funny. There's a German guinea pig UA-camr that also had one named Cookie. She also looked just like your Cookie^^
Aw Love those ❤️piggies ✌️So Cute ☺️!
The only halfway “reasonable” way I could imagine this happening to these sweet little guinea pigs is that some kid bought them off of Craigslist without asking their parents and then their parents said no. These two seem so friendly even though you only just got them so I can’t imagine why someone would give them up. Seems like their previous home (before whoever abandoned them) socialized them well (I’m not familiar with guinea pigs but I do know that prey animals tend to be anxious especially around new people). I’m sure you’ll get them into a fantastic home, and they’ll be lucky to have these two
OMGosh! I LOVE this Redheaded Fire for Animals! Awesome host! I always feel so happy when I see the compassion animal lovers have & share that with the world of all ages.❤ Animals are a gift to this earth.
Thank you 🙏 😊 for rescuing these beautiful Guinea Pigs and god bless!
I Love gunia pigs! I hope everyone in the gunia pig herd loves them and be friends! 🦄🦄 thank you animal wonders Montana I will always love you and animals and nature!
Because of you they are alive and I am so thankful for you helping them out. I love guinea pigs and I am a big fan of AWM and I just love what you do.
I did a very similar thing last month for two pigs who were being kicked and strangled by their owner and were about to be met with the same fate. So glad they found you!
(I was not able to keep my two, but with some help found a very loving home where they are currently pampered)
My first guinea pig loved my cat, Snowflake, and she treated him like a kitten. All three of us would cuddle and nap. I lost them the same year.
3 cheers from our 3 old male Guinea Pigs living happily outdoors. I hope that all of them survive the winter as they are 5 to 6 year old. We got them from a sanctuary too.
Oh my goodness! What cuties! I just love guinea pig faces. Shout out to their rescuer for noticing them and getting them help!
Hay
What a great thing! They’re alive and happy 😃
Here's a cute Guinea Pig story read by the author:
ua-cam.com/video/Em59gRCAD5k/v-deo.html
I’ve been wanting a hamster or a Guinea pig recently
Great work animal wonders team ❤️ and the both of them are just so cute 🥰
thank god those little guys are safe! ❤️❤️❤️
I have to comment on how beautiful your hair is
Wow a friend has the same guinea pig named cookie they were a rescue to 😮
Can you bring them to me in Paisley Ontario Canada?
I love the native art shirt you're wearing...
Bellezas que suerte fueron rescatados amores😍
Will they be introduced into the herd once their quarantine is done?
They are so 🥰
Cute
I love animals I want to rescue
I absolutely LOVE Jessie's "what do you think?" it's so enthusiastically wholesome said every time
Loved the happy noises there at the end.
They classic pets 👍👍👍👍
Animals just seem to move into my home through the doggie door! Those stinkers! I’d love to have them, however, I’d absolutely love to know a sweet kiddo can take them both!! I have 6 grandkiddos, they’d absolutely love them, we have a few critters, so, I’d absolutely love a child to take these sweet brothers. If not, please reach out, they’d be so truly loved.
are cookie and dough female or male?
how coude somebudey do that
Bless you and everyone at AWM for helping and caring for these precious animals.
Glad they were at least together!
Do you have hamsters
Is there an update on these two?
I love your videos
