On behalf of the Dutchies we would like to nominate 't Kuufke for the proceedings of the calendar. Guinea pig shelter 't Kuufke in Limbricht is the only guinea pig shelter in the south of the Netherlands. Kuufke totally depends on donations and the hard work of it's lovely volunteers. Over the last few years Kuufke has suffered a lot of bad luck. All of their computer equipment was stolen and the roof was blown off the shelter. We really think they deserve to have a bit of good luck.
They have a lovely
website. They really do a good job showing us pigs at our best to help us find our forever home. Even if you don't speak Dutch, check out their
sows,
boars and
neutered boars. They also have a
blog where they post mail from the pigs that have found their forever home and a
Facebook page with lots of pigtures.
There are 3 other reasons why you should vote for Kuufke.
1. Igor
Need we say more?
2. Sjeuf
Just like Igor, Sjeuf also found us through Kuufke. Even though we moved to the other side of the country, we still wanted a pig in our herd from Kuufke, just like uncle Igor. We like their southern swagger and we enjoy going to Kuufke. So with the help from Pepper and Jimmy, we went to Kuufke and asked for the sweetest beaux they had and they sent us on a speed date with Sjeuf. He came home with us and has been a gentlepig ever since.
3. Jimmy
Jimmy is maybe better known as agent Zeppelin, from the agent Zeppelin Mysteries. Jimmy has a very sweet and docile character. That might be because he ended up in t Kuufke almost right after his birth in July 2009 and they took really good care of him. Jimmy is currently very happy, living with (a rather lively) Pepper, who also happens to come from Kuufke.
We know Kuufke is not very well known amoung our readers since most of you are not from the Netherlands. But without Kuufke, our Igor, Sjeuf and Jimmy wouldn't have found their forever homes and their voice on this blog. So from the bottom of their big hearts, these boars ask you to give Kuufke your vote.

ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the Kuufke-staff I would like to say that we are honored to be included in this poll. In the last year we have taken in no less then 455 guinea pigs and found new homes for 445 of them. Currently we are housing over 150 guinea pigs that get vegetables, food and hay every day and their cages cleaned once a week, all boars are neutered by our vet before they leave the shelter. You can imagine our expenses....We do manage...but only just!
ReplyDeleteReally, all four rescues are very worthy candidates. I have to say again--your European piggies are cuties! =)
