Piggles Guinea Pig Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

All potential adopters are required to complete an Adoption Application, so that we can assess whether guinea pigs are right for their family and that they can provide a suitable environment for our piggies. Once their application has been approved, they come to meet the piggies and, if everything goes well, they complete the adoption by signing an Adoption Agreement and paying an adoption fee of $30 per piggie.

Guinea pigs are social animals and do best in pairs or groups (single sex, or mixed sex where one or both is spayed/neutered), so we will only adopt piggies out in pairs, unless the adopter already has a piggie. We do also spay/neuter selected single piggies and either adopt them out as companions for lonely single piggies or match them with a friend prior to adoption.

About Piggles Guinea Pig Rescue

Piggles Rescue takes in guinea pigs from shelters and occasionally from owners, and cares for them until a suitable forever home can be found.

We also contact people offering guinea pigs "free to a good home" on Kijiji, Craigslist, etc to warn them of the potential dangers to their pet, and to offer help with rehoming them.

We are happy to offer help and advice on any aspect of guinea pig care. Please do not hesitate to e-mail us if you have questions.

Piggles Guinea Pig Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Blackstock, ON.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
