We have a "pairs policy". If you own a guinea pig, we are happy to help you find a compatible friend amongst ours. If you don't own a guinea pig, you may adopt a bonded pair or create a pair from our single guinea pigs. When you don't already own a guinea pig, we highly recommend adopting one of our bonded pairs - that way you know you have a pair that gets along, and won't run the risk of them not getting along once you get them home.
Fees as of Jan 1, 2019
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.

Meet Piggles and Paisley!! Piggles is about 1 year old and is the little darling on the right in the photo. Paisley is about 2 years old and is the little beauty on the left. Both came to MGPR at the same time and became fast friends. They will waddle their way into your heart quickly. Piggles is very funny as he loves to sit in his food dish like a tiny dog. They get along beautifully. Paisley likes to be pet. Piggles is a little less sure about us humans but we are growing on him! They both come running to greet you any time they think you have treats or food for them which in their opinion should be every time you walk by their space ?? They will need a family with children 12 years and older as they are very wiggly when being picked up. They are both incredibly special and will make you smile.
| Name: | Avalon & Aragorn |
| Sex: | Male/Female Pair |
| Type: | Tri-Colored, White/Crested & Silky |
| Age: | 2 Years , 11 Months |
| Altered: | Neutered/Spayed |
Avalon and Aragorn are a friendly, relaxed pair of adults who are looking for their forever home! Avalon is the pretty, mostly-black crested shorthair, and Aragorn is the dark-eyed white silkie with the dashing lock of ginger behind his right ear. Both are very chatty, and Aragorn loves to rumble. Once they settled into their current foster home, they quickly picked up the household routines and became curious about what the human was doing and saying. They love their hay and veggies. Aragorn is very easy to handle and likes head scritchies. Like many guinea pigs, Avalon isn't a big fan of hands reaching into the cage or being picked up, but she will settle down to enjoy petting. Both enjoy floor time. Adopters must be committed to caring for Aragorn's hair, which requires regular brushing and occasional baths and trims to keep it clean and untangled. Fortunately he's fairly tolerant of this, and will let you know when he needs a break.

My name is Carina which means "dear little one" or "sweetie." I'm not a big eater. I'm okay with a bit of lettuce and a little veggie treat but I really love hay. I am very soft and my foster mother loves to cuddle me. Maybe you'd like to cuddle me too?

| Name: | Dancy & Drama |
| Sex: | Female |
| Type: | Chocolate & White / Pale Himalayan /American Shorthair |
| Age: | 8 Months |
| Altered: | Spayed |
This is a truly lovely pair of young girls. The white one Drama is easier to handle than her sister Dancy, but what she lacks in cuddles she makes up for in the fun they have in their cage and floor time. With guinea pigs you never know Dancy just could end up being the best lap pig ever as she matures a bit. The girls are listed as 12 and over because of Dancy skittish nature when you pick her up. WE would be willing to discuss this with a family with younger children.
