17 Guinea Pigs Dumped at Trash Cans Including Babies 

The baby had a name. His name was Lovebug. We did everything we could, but without that developed swallow reflex, there wasn’t a lot of hope for recovery. It is hard to see in the video, but his pink skin was grey. He was hypoxic. His blood was not absorbing or carrying oxygen to his tissues even though he was breathing. As said in the video, he was probably trampled on/crushed after birth considering there were 16 guinea pigs in one cat carrier. I am sorry we couldn’t do more. I am sorry. His three siblings are doing great (a girl and two boys) and will go to their forever homes in a couple of weeks when they are weaned. Some of the big males have been adopted already! Thank you, everyone, for your support of our rescue.

Why do people dump their pet's? It's attempted murder. They are so innocent.

Bless the man for not only contacting you, but also for actually getting his old cage so that he could separate the male guinea pig.

They would have all died if it hadn’t been for that wonderful man. RIP little baby. 😢

You did everything you could. Why people treat their animals so badly is beyond all understanding.

Saskia, the greatest kindness you gave that scared little baby was the warmth & safety of skin to skin contact from the only sweet mama he/she ever knew. Thank you for being so loving & not giving up on even the least likely to survive of these tiny creatures.

Remember, the baby was loved. He didn't die in the heartless, scary situation by that trash can. He was in y our loving hands, and will be wheeking for you when you cross the rainbow bridge.

God bless all of you at the LAGPR. Your compassion runs deep. I am happy that little Lovebug found you so he didn't have to die outside in such horrible conditions. God bless little Lovebug.🤕

Awhhh poor lil guy. Thanks to Saskia he at least had some love and attention shown to him before he died.

No Saskia, you syringe feeding him and keeping him warm in your bra was his first act of kindness. Sending hugs, you did all you could for him.

RIP BEAUTIFUL ❤️🐹🕊😥

Poor little baby Lovebug. You tried your best. May God damn the soul whomever it was who left this piggies out with little trash.

God bless that gentleman, people are so cruel, they have feelings to, they just don't speak our language.

What a precious "Lovebug". Blessings and prayers always!

Oh little Love Bug may you run free over rainbow bridge Bless your tiny little heart xxx

Heartbreaking about the little one that didn't make it. Thank you for saving all the sweet piggies you save.

I’m so sorry that little baby didn’t make it. Thank you for trying and ultimately making the selfless decision to end its suffering. You’re doing great things, Saskia. 🌈❤️🐾

I don’t think ppl truly understand how much work goes into having a guinea pig. They are a lot of work and take a lot of time. But they are worth it.

Poor guinea pigs being dumped it breaks my heart thank you helping them rest in peace little piggie

This is so sad , why people did that cruelty ?? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Bless this little souls . He /she was loved

Saskia don't stop what you are doing! You help so many little babies.

Poor sweeties. I don’t get how people could live with themselves doing that to these babies. They’re not things to be tossed. They’re little beings with feelings. ❤️💖💗💕💞

I saw the comments and realised the lil one didnt survive. My heart couldnot take it and i had to pause the videos. I have to cavie babies and they're the sweetest things on this earth,and i can't imagine that pain the lil one had to go through . God bless you Saskia and team, And the good man who decided to help these furbabies

Rest In Peace little bud your pain free now.

Thank to the man who did not pass by indifferently by the lesser brothers!

Poor sweet baby. My heart hurts, every time I see little innocent babies like this one leave the world before they've even had a chance to really live 💔 Thank you for doing what you could to help the little one, Saskia! At least in his last moments he knew some form of love and care. Thank you for putting your heart into caring for all of the guinea pigs that you have taken into your arms ❤️ God bless you for your dedication!

11 Guinea Pigs how sweet are they? I hope they all find loving safe homes 😉♥️🌹

So sorry, but he made it to rescue and you where there for him and you did your best. He passed away with people who truly care and not by a dumpster. That's what counts, stay positive!🐾💞❤️

One of my piggy boys was left in a dumpster in a cage with another piggy who didn't make it. I'm so thankful for the people who found him and the guy who found these guys!

Thank you for your kindness and love to God's creatures ❤. Much love

I was doing courier service some years ago. Someone left 4 newborn kittens in a box at a vet after hours. I knew if I left them there by morning they'd be dead. Took them home fed with a bottle like this. Every two hours. Of the 4, only two survived. Super devastated. But the 2 got great forever homes in a big house. ❤

Please don’t hurt, Saskia! The baby was so lovingly cared for in the end. And you were able to help 13 other innocent little ones. I hope that in some way our show of love and care for you will strengthen you. The world needs you and many more like you to stand in the gap for piggies. My greatest desire would be that every area would have someone trained and equipped to do what you do. Imagine all the good that would do!

Tears. Sweet baby

How could anyone disregard these beautiful little lives?..! I don’t understand.😭 Thank goodness for Saskia and her volunteers!💕

R.I.P. baby piggy😥😥😥😥Bless you for trying guys xxxxxx

How can people be so cruel? They didn’t care if those sweet babies lived or died. I get it that there are situations people find themselves in that are less than ideal, but the tiny babies could have been kept long enough to have a chance once they were thrown out like garbage. Bless that sweet man for bringing them to you guys and bless you guys for taking them in ❤️.

So sad the little one passed, thanks for doing all you could.

Poor baby. At least he rcvd some TLC before he passed over to the rainbow bridge. 🌈 Youre assistant seems like a very sweet caring helper. You guys are awesome.

I agree losing them gets harder to the point where I cannot do it anymore

Poor little guy didn't even have a chance to live. I am glad he experienced some love in his short life, it wasn't just all suffering. Al least his siblings will have a chance now they are with you.

It was loved and protected in its final hours. You did well.

Rest in peace lil piggie 🥺🥺❤️❤️ ty for trying to save him and hope the rest are healthy and good

Saskia please know what your doing is amazing, you were able to give that litte guinea pig the last act of kindness and love that was needed, despite the short about of time. My wife watches you all the time and learning so much from you here in Canada.

Guinea pigs are the sweetest, gentlest, cutest little animals. How could anyone abuse guinea pigs? It is totally insane.

Stay strong Saskia. I know you've experience a lot of heartbreak, both personal and at the rescue but know that your love and kindness helps these poor little guys. Without you there would be countless abandoned, neglected, or guineas without a home. My herd and I send you lots of love! ❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️

So heartbreaking, at least the baby had you and your gentle loving touch. Just so so sad. Thank you for all you do for these loving souls.

It’s always sonst to see such a innocent little piggies pass away, but at last m glad to see that all the others survived this traumatic situation

😢💔 We appreciate everything you and your team do for these helpless animals.

It breaks my heart when people just throw animals away like that!! I love you and what you do

Thank you for loving that little baby😢💔

We didn't know you little one! But we love you

Oh this made me so sad, poor little baby he certainly had a try. Why can’t people be responsible for their pets and treat them with humanity. Thank you for trying Saskia

Rip little lovebug. You were a beautiful little piggie. 💙🌈☀️

Aaaaaaw so sad, such a precious tiny soul. I'm so glad he held on till he got to the LA Guinea pig rescue. At least in his final moments, he was safe and loved. Poor little baby! 😘😘😇😇

Kind man that called the rescue.Poor piggies.

I don’t understand how Saskia can keep doing this work. The depravity of human beings never ceases to amaze.

At least he got to know warmth and felt save in his last moments

Thank you for saving them.

Thank You!

My heart just broke over that little precious sweetheart. I just don't understand how people think these days. At least that precious baby felt love and compassion with Saskia. Situations like this just rips at my heart strings

So sorry Saskia. You tried your very best and at the very least he knew some love in his final moments ❤

Poor little ones!! May God give animals justice from the evil people who hurt them, and may God bless those who help them.

You do so much good for Guinea pig Kind. There’s a Guinea Pig King in Heaven awaiting to award you for your kindness ❤😊

What an amazing man for having the heart to pick them up and take them to the safest place for them in town! Even when one of them was naughty they separated them so they would all be safe

RIP little guy, may you rest in peace and thank you for all you do for animals!

Poor little guy and his siblings, whom also passed away. I understand what you mean about death getting harder to take as we get older. Thank you so much for continuing to care for these beautiful animals. You're a special lady, one of those so-called one-in-a-million. God bless you, Saskia 💗

Poor little baby Lovebug, sleep tight sweet little one, I hope you find a family over the rainbow bridge 🌈❤🌈 Thank you Saskia for being a fairy Godmother to all these little creatures and for making the tough decisions to help them sleep xxxxx

i hope you guys reached out to somone to find out who dumped these guys so that criminal charges can be filed .

(...as a side note..im so glad im not the only one who has messy floors after treat times...) So. so sad...who would abandon those cuties!

Poor sweetheart. Thanks for helping.

Bless you Saskia. I have tears in my eyes for this little precious baby. Thank you for saving so many

So sorry for the baby. You did a wonderful job even keeping piggie warm. You were so caring. God Bless You and your beautiful heart.

r.i.p. sweet baby angel soul ❤❤❤⭐🌠🌈

Fly high and be free little one 😢😢💔💔💔

RIP. Sweet baby. YOU MADE M CRY. BUT, I know you are in Heaven now

Gotta love ❤️ that sound… wheek wheek. I have a sticker on my car that says “All I need , is love and wine and a guinea pig”. Got the wine , got the guinea pigs (Big Boy and Abby), don’t need much else. That little baby, for that short time, had some comfort and love. Thank God for you and all the animal lovers that gives all and every critter, no matter how big or small comfort, hope and love.

Oh gosh, that hurt my heart. Thank you for being there. RIP little one you are a star in heaven now 🌈✨

Thank you all. For taking care of this family of piggies. In there time of need. Many blessings to you all.💖

Thank you for all you do!! How somebody could leave animals like that I will never understand you can’t have a heart or love animals if you could do something like that! 😢😭 makes me so mad that somebody could have animals for that long and then dispose of them like trash!🤬😢😭

You cared for that baby with such a loving heart and gentle hands. It’s so hard but you and your employees and volunteers bring life, happiness, and quality of life for so many.💔

Thank You to the good Samaritan who brought the piggies to you. People like him restore my faith in humanity when other people dump them off like that. An Thank You Saskia for saving taking these piggies in. I know you are full, but so many guinea pigs are alive because of you. I hope you did good at the animal control meeting you spoke at. Now I'm hoping you'll eventually get to one day speak to a crowd of veterinarians. I believe in you and I believe one day you will. Maybe you and Dr.Nenn, will some day be able to reach more veterinarians. It's what I hope for when I read tge tragic stories people sometimes post post in Wheekers. More vets could learn a lot from you and Dr.Nenn cold maybe one day share at a meeting with other veterinarians what she has learned about guinea pigs and vise versa what you have also learned working with it. More vets really need to know this stuff. You make a huge impact on a lot of people you have been and continue to do so. I really hope when day you'll get to speak to a crowd of veterinarians one day. Thank You for all you do. An Thank You to the good Samaritan who brought those pigs to you.

For more Angels like you and all of the people who rescue piggies and all animales ..My heart goes to all of you ❤️

Yeah I find it hard to believe that guy just found those at the dumpster and just happened to have a cage.

People can be cruel it's good to see that there are good people out there trying to rescue them and save their lives from those who where so cruel to just dump them its very sad the one baby didn't live but you guys tried in the end putting it down was probably the best thing to do as it was suffering

Oh, Saskia, you are such a good soul for taking in all these innocent creatures and caring for them even as they draw their last breath! It breaks my heart every time a wee one like this passes...I know it's 'nature', but it still bothers me because this could have been prevented. As a Veterinary Technician and a guinea pig lover, the ignorance and cruelty of humans is mind-boggling to me, even after 12 years as a Tech and 50+ years as an animal lover.

Who could do this!! My heart breaks

We understand you do a lot of. God bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

These poor babies, its really sad looking at their eyes. They seem to have no hope... Thankfully the good samaritan brought them in.

Poor little guy... I have 3 boars & 4 sows. 2 of my sows(rescues & was told they were the only pig in the house, separate rescues), but both each had 3 of the most adorable little girls each, taking my heard up to 13!! 2 of the babies are going to an amazing home with a friend of mine for Christmas. It's a bit of work but they are beyond worth it & let me know every time I walk in the door. 🥰

Rip to the little baby’s may they Rest In Peace they are in a better place now ❤️❤️❤️✝️

Thank you all for helping these sweeties. It’s terrible anyone dose this stuff like their lives don’t matter and it’s sad the little sweetie didn’t make it. ❤️💖💗💕💞

I love how you save all of these piggys🥰it warms my heart knowing they are well taken care of. I hope they all find their forever homes soon!

My heart is breaking. That poor baby suffered so badly. Thank you for everything you do

You are a special woman, so caring for the guinea pigs, the little baby didn't make it oooh 😥 but he's last hours where fantastic with love and caring ❤️

Sorry for the lost of the little one. It is frustrating. When my girls lost their babies it broke my heart because they shouldn't have to have gone through it. I rescued them from a indiscriminate breeding situation. Good luck with the new gang.
