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

  • $45 per neutered male guinea pig
  • $60 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.
