Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue Adoption Application

Please answer the following questions to apply to adopt a MGPR guinea pig. We try to ensure the best possible match between animal and adopter. Remember that this is a lifetime commitment. Before applying, keep in mind the following points:
Please understand that the guina pigs available for adoption are all housed in foster homes. We do not have a shelter facility. We rely on the kindness of volunteers to care for and socialize our foster piggies. Sometimes, if a guinea pig has been fostered for a long period of time, a strong bond forms between the foster parent and the animal. The foster parent has the final determination in whether or not the animal will be relinquished into your custody.
