Rescue FAQs

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 is a member rescue of Helping Homeless Pets (www.helpinghomelesspets.com)
Southern Ontario, Canada

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.
