I run the rescue from my home, where the guinea pigs waiting to be adopted are treated like part of the family. They get plenty of love and care, which helps them adjust to living in a home environment. It also gives me the chance to really get to know each guinea pig. Because of this, I only have a few guinea pigs waiting for homes at any time.

Please view our Facebook Adoption Page and social media which has more up to date information about the guineas waiting for homes including current photos and videos.

Gus and Fudge 

Gus and Fudge. An adorable pair of bonded young boars. They are in a foster home who say that "Gus is by FAR one the friendliest and loveliest guinea pig we’ve fostered or even had in our home 😊 whoever adopts him and Fudge are getting a lovely pair of boars 🙂"

We will need an indoor home with a large C&C or equivalent.. minimum size 160 cm x 70 cm. Lots of hay and fresh veggies twice a day. Fudge has long hair so will need an owner prepared to keep it short at the back.

Jax and Reid

Jax and Reid ♂️😍

These handsome boars are currently in a foster home and hoping to find a forever home soon.

They are a bonded pair. Jax is approx 2.5 yrs old and a chunky boy. He is the more timid of the two. Although he will take treats from my hand he is not that keen on being handled. Jax is slightly longhaired and fluffy. He has a fatty lump on his underside, which causes no issues.

Reid is 2 yes old and black and white short hair. He is the dominant one. He does rumble strut and jump on Jax sometimes but they get along well. Reid is very confident he often just flumps out in the middle of the cage to snooze. He is happy to be stroked on my knee (makes cooing noises). 

These boys are looking for an indoor home with a large C&C or equivalent. They will need lots of hay and fresh veggies twice daily. They will need a home where they can come out to play and would love a run to graze in on sunny days.

Stan and Little Ray

Stan and Little Ray have been bonded in rescue.

Stan is a curious and mischievous boar and about 11 months old. He is vocal, friendly and loves climbing. He was desperate for company and has been very pleased with his new companion Little Ray joining him.

Little Ray is just a few months old and came into rescue to find company after his owner had an unexpected litter due to a mis-sex. He is very lively and inquisitive.

The boys are getting on well together and would like a home as a pair. They will need a large C&C cage or equivalent (minimum 140 cm x 70 cm). They need an indoor home with lots of good quality hay and fresh veggies twice daily. They would like a run on the lawn to graze in on fine days.

Henry and Sully

The old boys: Henry and Sully

Henry arrived a couple of months ago in a terrible state. He was malnourished and had untreated eye infections and was unable to see. He also struggled to walk with his back legs. He has received treatment and his eyes are better. With good care and nourishment and exercise he is now walking better too. 

Sully is an old boy (6 years approximately) whose companion recently died.

I decided to see if these slow quiet boys would get on together. They are sweet boys who prefer minding their own business. They live quite happily together and offer each other some companionship.

These boys I expect will remain here at the rescue but it would be wonderful if they were offered an experienced home where they were perhaps the only guineas that would be spoilt for their golden years together. They are really sweet quiet boars. Henry has found his wheek and they love coming out to graze in the lawn.

I have guinea pigs arriving into the rescue all the time. If you can’t see any suitable matches listed here, please do still get in touch.

Guinea pigs are often matched with adopters shortly after arriving in rescue, and there may be a guinea pig or group who have recently arrived or are currently receiving treatment who would be a good fit for your home.

Please get in touch to let us know what you are looking for, along with details of your setup, and I will help if I can.

Many thanks.
