Interested in Adopting?

We're on holiday. Our application to adopt has closed for the holidays. The guinea pigs going to have their Thanksgiving fill of vegetables and then will be on vacation with their foster parents until the new year. If you're interested in adopting, please return 01/02/2023 when the guinea pigs will return from vacation and our application will open again.

If you have a guinea pig that recently lost his/her cagemate and appears depressed, please email us info@mgpr.org and we will do our best to assist you.
