Guinea Pig Rescue

Have you decided to have a guinea pig as a pet? Guinea pigs also known as cavies are wonderful pets for children and for the more serious caretakers, who want to join competition or shows. Guinea pigs are naturally good-natured so they can suit any type of owner, as long as he or she is a responsible one. Getting your pet from a guinea pig rescue or shelter is highly recommended. There are thousands of guinea pigs that die in animal shelters because pet stores immediately give them off to these shelters when they encounter health problems or if their cavies are pregnant. Another reason why people are hesitant from getting their pets from shelters is due to myths such as: the belief that male guinea pigs could not live together and that guinea pigs should be from the same breed in order to mate. This misinformation usually leads to the frustration of guinea pig rescue efforts.

Here are more reasons why you should participate in guinea pig rescue efforts:

  • There are many guinea pigs that need your love and care. These cavies are either surrendered or abandoned by their owners. Common reasons are due to irresponsible ownership and over-breeding.
  • There is a plethora of institution with online sites that offer guinea pigs for adoption. And like what you find in your pet stores, they come in many if not all the variety of guinea pig breeds.
  • These institutions offer support and know-how in taking care of your cavies. They can help you find great deals when purchasing your pet’s needs. They also know certified vets and breeders or owners that will help you in your pet rearing.
  • Guinea pig rescue shelters also helps you meet new people with the same passion for caring for these kinds of animals.
  • Also, cavies from guinea pig rescues are usually free, perhaps only requiring you to make a small donation to their cause.
