Looking

The following guinea pigs are at the rescue and are waiting for loving forever homes. I try to update this page regularly, but not all the guinea pigs are shown, so please get in touch if you are looking for a specific piggy.

Please remember guinea pigs live for up to 7 years so a lot of thought needs to be given before rehoming a guinea pig. It is not a case of how quickly can I get one, thought and research needs to go into making this decision.

Guinea pigs adopted from the rescue must not be kept on woodshavings, they are completely unsuitable for piggies and pose health risks.

Guinea pigs will not be rehomed as the sole responsibility of a child (under 18 years old). A guinea pig is a animal and not a toy and therefore needs a caring and dedicated adult to be responsible for its care. Many of the guinea pigs come to me because they have been bought for children who lose interest. This is not fair on the piggies. I do rehome piggies to be part of families, but there must be an adult interest.

Home checks are always carrired out prior to adoption. Please read the adoption policy for more information on the adoption process.

Thank you for considering adopting a rescued piggy!

Albie and Gogo: Albie is a huge guinea pig weighing an enormous 1.4 kgs. He is three years old and very cuddly and tame. Sadly Albie has tumours in his groin and under his arms. Therefore he will stay at the rescue to live out the end of his life in comfort with his friend Gogo! Gogo will be up for rehoming after this time. In foster care at present.

Arrival at rescue: June 2009

I would like to get these girls into a home before Christmas...Biscuit and Molly: Biscuit is about a year old and Molly is about a year and a half old. They both live together quite happily but prefer to sleep in seperate beds so need a home that has seperate bed areas for them. They are a little shy of being picked up but are very enquistive when out in the run. They are becoming mroe interactive with me now. They would be better suited to a quiet home without very young children.

Arrival at rescue: September 2009

Alfie, Beatrice and Eugenie: Alfie is a handsome and very vocal boar. He was picked up as a stray so I don't know how old he is, but he is young, about 8-9 months old. He has been neutered and has settled well with the girls. Beatrice and Eugenie are a pair of very prety tri-coloured sows. They are about 2 and a half years old and were no longer wanted as the children lost interest! They have not been handled much so are a bit skittish. The girls must be rehomed together, and if possible Alfie would like to join them. These are a fabulously bonded group and would make a wonderful addition to a piggy friendly home.

Thanks to all who donated to the November appeal. I was really suprised at the generosity of so many people. The piggies were all very happy with their treats.

Thanks also to those who have offered to foster.

Boo and Casper: A pair of two and a half year old boars. Sadly in rescue due to the owner having a baby. Very small piggies who would like a home asap. These boys are very vocal and sociable with people. I don't want these boys to be in rescue much longer. It would make them so happy to be in loving home soon. They like to practice their acrobat skills during the day! Photo to follow very soon.

Arrival at rescue: October 2009

Ellie and Julia: Mother and daughter. Aproximately 2 and a half years old. Owner was not a llowed to keep pets in her new home so could no longer keep these girls. They have only just arrived, so more info to follow. Poor girls, hopefully they will find a loving home soon.
