Abandoned guinea pigs found in Glenrothes garage

A pair of guinea pigs dumped in their cage in Glenrothes had a lucky escape when someone spotted them.

The pets were rescued by the Scottish SPCA after they were found at a garage off Woodside Way on Tuesday.

An appeal for information has been issued by the animal welfare charity as it attempts to trace the person who abandoned them.

The female guinea pigs have been named Robyn and Susan by staff caring for them at the charity’s rescue and rehoming centre in Dundee.

Scottish SPCA Inspector Robyn Gray said: “Whoever dumped these guinea pigs couldn’t have known they would be found by someone who would help them.

“We’re now hoping to find this sweet pair a new home together with an owner who is committed to caring for them for the rest of their lives.

“If anyone has any information about Robyn and Susan or is interested in giving them a loving new home, we’d ask them to call us on 03000 999 999.”

Abandoning and causing an animal unnecessary suffering is an offence which can result in a lifetime ban from keeping animals.
