My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Current location Loveland, CO

Melody Joy and Bugsy are a special pair of females who need an experienced loving adopter.

Melody Joy (cream and black abby) is a remarkable (spayed) girl who is a Satin. While it makes her beautiful, her glistening satin fur comes with potential health issues. This girl has beaten ovarian cancer, but there is a 25% chance it could return in the future.

Her bestie Bugsy (orange and white American) is a healthy girl who has helped Melody Joy with her recovery from her illness and spay surgery.

These lovely ladies need to find a home with someone who will give them the love and attention they deserve, and they will repay you with snuggles and happiness!

Cavies and Canines Animal Rescue is a PACFA licensed non-profit guinea pig rescue based in Fort Collins, CO. All of the guinea pigs in our rescue are cared for by foster families while waiting for their forever home.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoptions are based on an application process, which includes a vet reference and sometimes a home visit. Our dogs (and cats, when we have them available for adoption) have completed their age-appropriate shots, are dewormed, spayed/neutered and heartworm tested/treated before adoption.
Our guinea pigs are available for adoption ONLY as same-sex pairs or as a friend for an existing guinea pig(s). Females are placed on 10-week pregnancy watch before adoption, and all undergo a health/behavior evaluation and are treated for parasites, if needed. Guinea pigs will only go to homes with appropriately sized housing, which we offer for sale at discounted rates.
We require surrender and adoption contracts for the safety of our animals, foster families and future adopters. Animals that are adopted from us must be returned to us and not rehomed or taken to a shelter if circumstances change.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are a foster home based rescue. We encourage appointments Friday-Monday for families to come meet our available pets.

Those with single guinea pigs looking for a friend are encouraged to bring them over for a "piggin play date" to ensure it is a good match.

More about this rescue

Our goal is twofold – to provide homeless pets with loving homes and provide judgement-free advice to their well-intentioned human family members to facilitate the happily ever after. We find that guinea pigs are commonly incorrectly perceived as “starter pets” for kiddos, and given up or abandoned when it becomes clear that they can be higher maintenance, more expensive or more fragile than expected. It’s also why one of our main goals at Cavies and Canines is education – we want your family to find a pet that is the perfect fit for them … a win-win for everyone! Adopting a pet is a lifetime commitment to an animal that will be your loving companion and your best friend. Our goal is to keep animals in loving homes and off the streets and out of shelters.
