Red, white, & agouti American female guinea pig -- "Sage"
Born approx. 1/2022 -- (almost) 4 years old
Surrendered -- 1/27/2025
Sage is the piggy that loves her hut, and the second she hears a loud noise or sees someone coming, darts back to her hut. Her hut is like her safe space... and it takes a lot for her to decide to come out of it. She would thrive in a quiet home that lets her feel comfortable at her pace. She's a very sweet girl, just super super shy. Sage does well with her nail trims!
Sage enjoys leafy greens, though we've learned that she's not a fan of peppers!
Thoughts about Sage from our farmhand -- "She's probably the most nervous / shy of the bunch (of guinea pigs), but still a sweetheart. She just likes to chill and keep to herself."
Interested in adopting? Ask about filling out our guinea pig adoption form!
All of our guinea pigs come with a baggie of food to start you out with as well as a printed out version of our guinea pig care packet.
These guinea pigs are located in Wolcott, Indiana (47995 about 30 minutes north of Lafayette, IN. We can help you with finding ground transport. We are able to work with your own transport as well!
We also sell cages / supplies / accessories for your new furball! You can make us your one-stop-shop!

Our adoption process requires all of our potential homes to read our care packet and fill out an adoption form. The care packet talks about the care and needs of the specific animal the home is looking to adopt. The adoption form asks questions about the type of home the animal will be going into, what type of cage will be used, what type of food the animal will be fed, and so on - questions to verify that the pet will be cared for well in its new home. There is no application fee with our rescue, the only fees are the adoption fees for the pets.

Go meet their pets
Visiting our adoptable animals requires an appointment. To make an appointment with us, give us a call 219-789-0026. The rescue is run out of our house, so we are not always home for someone to view the animals. We are home most afternoons/evenings, and people are welcome to come visit then (after having called and set up an appointment).

More about this rescue
I am Ashley Gajda and I am the "owner" (if it could even be called that) of the rescue. I opened this rescue because I hated to see small pets without homes, and wanted to help. We opened the rescue in 2003 with very few cages, but have since expanded and now take in a variety of small animals and have plenty of spare cages. It is just me running the rescue, so I'm always looking for volunteers to help with whatever needs it at the time.
