I'm Chico, a 4 year old male Abyssinian guinea pig who was originally a class pet and then bonded with one of the OGPR guinea pigs. My family surrendered me once I lost my buddy for the rescue to find me another one. I am bonded with my buddy, Teddy and we must be adopted together.
Comments about Chico from his foster family:
Chico is doing great. Chico is our patient pig and when it is treat time always waits politely for his turn. He is a little possessive of his favorite corner under the hammock and when Teddy tries to join him, he will chatter and make him leave. Teddy just runs off for the tunnel. Occasionally Chico will be distracted by treats and Teddy will sit under the hammock and you can just tell he is proud. They share meals and hay and get along great. Chico is a great snuggle pig. He will even be still and let you pet him in his cage (most others will run).
If you are interested in being my forever family, please go to the "ADOPTION" tab on our website www.ogpr.org and complete the REQUIRED 4 steps.
We ask for a minimum donation of $50 per guinea pig made to the rescue. One free wellness check at our specified vet is included with each adopted guinea pig

The Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue is based out of Decatur, Georgia. We are a foster based rescue so we DO NOT have a brick and mortar building. All of our guinea pigs live in foster homes and once your application is accepted, we will schedule a meet and greet appointment for you to meet and adopt a pair of guinea pigs or a single guinea pig ONLY if you have a single guinea pig that needs a buddy. GUINEA PIGS SHOULD NOT LIVE ALONE BUT IN PAIRS OR MORE.
