Adoption Rules

Adoption Rules

We do not adopt guinea pigs as gifts.
We do not adopt to children
Please follow this link and read this very important information: http://www.cavyspirit.com/kidsandguineapigs.htm
The adults in the home must want and be responsible for the guinea pigs.
The adopters must have appropriate supplies including a cage no smaller than 40 inches long.
We ask you to fill out a contract supplying us with demographic information and promising to care for the piggies and returning them to us if you can not.
There is a 20 dollar per guinea pig adoption fee

Supplies Needed

Cage either hand made (see www.cavycages.com) or store bought no smaller than 40 inches long. Please call before you buy anything!

Surrenders

We charge 35 dollars for each guinea pig surrendered to the rescue.
This money goes towards the piggies care for as long as they are with us, and includes medical expenses.
If this fee is not possible, please consider the free referral program, which would place your piggies on this website with ours, but they will live with you until adopted. This service is free.
