Adoption Policy and Information:

  1. Before applying, review the page about appropriate CAGES (click here) It is very important to us that your guinea pig has a proper size cage!

  2. We do NOT SHIP guinea pigs. You must be able to come to us for the adoption.

  3. We do NOT ADOPT to minors. Heads-of-household only can apply to adopt. Please do not apply to adopt if you are a minor living with your parents.

  4. We do NOT ADOPT to people who have other pets living outdoors (with the exception of horses and other farm animals).

  5. Review important guinea pig DIET information: What to Feed Your Guinea Pig.


    Adoption Fees and Information

  • $55 per neutered male guinea pig
  • $70 per spayed female guinea pig
  • Unlike some other rescue groups, all of our guinea pigs are spayed/neutered and have been to a vet for a checkup prior to adoption. While the adoption fee helps to cover some of the vet costs, our expenses far exceed the adoption fees. Click Here to see why we feel that spaying/neutering our guinea pigs is so important. Not only does it control the guinea pig population, there are definite health benefits.
  • A contract must be signed at adoption time

Notice about adopting female guinea pigs: There is currently a higher demand for spayed, female guinea pigs than availability. There may be up to a two month waiting period after submitting an application. We are limited by which guinea pigs are available in the local shelters and availability of foster homes. We appreciate your patience when adopting.

This is a wonderful little boy that is going to need a very special home.He has some neurological issues that are difficult to diagnose because of our inability to get a complete history. So he has a little bobble head issue and will not be neutered because of this. Elective surgery is not an option. He may have some allergy issues as well as he has been on quite a few antibiotics for sniffle type symptoms to no avail. He is lovable and a real lap pig. He will give a big yawn and stretch out for a good long snuggle. He will need an attentive human and lots of love. Please do not apply to adopt Zach unless you are making a rest of his life commitment to him.

Hello! I'm Allie. (But, you can call me Princess Allie.) Please don't let this face fool you! I may look cute and demure, but I am actually spunky and I like to boss my foster family around. My favorite past-times are running laps in my cage (so I can keep my girlish figure), sitting on top of my hidey box (to survey my kingdom) and burrowing in my hay pile (to jump out and surprise my foster mom). I am a very clean piggy (Aren't most princesses?) and I only do "my business" in one corner of my cage. Who wants to sleep in a messy cage? Not me!! I am very talkative, and I really enjoy watching my human servants go about their daily activities. (Someone has to keep them in line!) I am so hoping that I can find a forever home with your piggy boy, or an MGPR boy. Are you ready to have a princess in your life? I hope so!
