Guinea Pigs Available for Adoption
Adoption Policy:
- Before applying, review the page about appropriate CAGES (click here) . It is very important to us that your guinea pig has a proper size cage!
- We do NOT SHIP guinea pigs. You must be able to come to us for the adoption.
- We do NOT ADOPT to minors. Heads-of-household only can apply to adopt. Please do not apply to adopt if you are a minor living with your parents.
- We do NOT ADOPT to people who have other pets living outdoors (with the exception of horses and other farm animals).
- Review important guinea pig DIET information: What to Feed Your Guinea Pig.
Adoption Fees:
- $55 per neutered male guinea pig
- $70 per spayed female guinea pig
- $100 for bonded pairs (Pairs listed on the site together)
- Unlike some other rescue groups, all of our guinea pigs are spayed/neutered and have been to a vet for a checkup prior to adoption. While the adoption fee helps to cover some of the vet costs, our expenses far exceed the adoption fees. Click Here to see why we feel that spaying/neutering our guinea pigs is so important. Not only does it control the guinea pig population, there are definite health benefits.
- A contract must be signed at adoption time
Notice about adopting female guinea pigs: There is currently a higher demand for spayed, female guinea pigs than availability. There may be up to a two month waiting period after submitting an application. We are limited by which guinea pigs are available in the local shelters and availability of foster homes. We appreciate your patience when adopting.

Runt
Sex: Male
Color/Type: Black/White/Silkie mix
Age: 9 Months
Altered: Neutered
submit an application to adopt meYou'd never know it by looking at me now, but I was a wee little runt. I only weighed half as much as my litter mates. I was lucky that I had the best mommy in the world and she made sure we all grew healthy and strong. I am growing up fast now and I have figured out that I really love girl piggies. My foster mommy says I'm a special boy and I believe her. PS -- I really LOVE to play with boxes. They're my favorite toy!

Felice & Xena

Age: 2 Years , 10 Months
Altered: Spayed
Status: AdoptedWe are a couple of sassy girls looking for our forever home. I like to be called "FiFi" -- it is far less formal -- and I am very much a diva piggy. I know that I have an adorable, striped face and I spend quite a bit of time keeping myself fluffy and gorgeous. My best friend, Xena, is so sweet and loving. She looks like a marshmallow who has been slightly toasted over a roaring campfire. We like to share everything -- including our pigloo and fuzzy tunnels. We love to talk to our foster mom -- especially in the morning during breakfast -- and we both love to be lap piggies. We are curious, fun and great companions. Won't you take us home with you?

Tidbit

Color/Type: White & Red/Crested
Age: 5 Months
Altered: Spayed
submit an application to adopt meHello there. I'm a cute little bit of a thing aren't I. I came into the rescue as a very small baby. My mother had already become pregnant again and kind of pushed me out of the nest way too early for me to be happy about it. THe nice people at MGPR found me a girl to play with and have helped me blossom into a big healthy girl. I'm ready for my own home now. I'll need a nice boy friend. Maybe thats one of MGPRs or maybe he's the guinea pig you have already. In any case I'm ready to be adopted. Please don't make me wait too much longer.

So now seriously. I need a friend to live with. That could be your girl or one of ours. Then I need some one to couch potato with. Is that you? I know it's you. Just open your hear and let me in. You won't be sorry.

Color/Type: Red & White/Abyssinian
Age: 7 Months
Altered: Spayed
submit an application to adopt meSo I'm named for my beautiful ruby red eyes.I'm told many people don't like red eyed guinea pigs. I really can't understand why. I think my eyes are just wonderful and I know how big my heart is. It's a big heart filled with love for my new family. I've been waiting a very long time. Is there room in your heart to love me?

Clotho
Sex: Female
Color/Type: Brown Agouti/Red/White/American Short-hair
Age: 1 Year , 10 Months
Altered: Spayed
submit an application to adopt meReady for some Greek Mythology? Clotho was the youngest of three sisters, called the Three Fates or Morai. In human form, Clotho was responsible for "spinning the threads of human life". She was in charge of making decisions such as when gods and mortals were born or when they were saved or put to death. So, you can clearly see that we at MGPR think this girl is pretty important and very special to deserve a name like Clotho. We hope you'll consider adopting this lovely girl.

Chocolate Bomb

Age: 1 Year , 3 Months
Altered: Spayed
Status: AdoptedI was supposed to have a more regal name. However someone that was passing by as I was being photographed said "now that's a chocolate bomb" and it stuck. I don't really mind.

Isn't that what you want?

Age: 1 Year , 11 Months
Altered: Neutered/Spayed
Special Needs: YES
submit an application to adopt meWell this is more than a bit embarrassing for a guy to have to share his most private business. But share I must. See I have this little muscle problem that keeps my boy part from fully retracting. It's not a big issue, it just needs to be checked on every few days and cleaned (GENTLY PLEASE) with a bit of water. I promise that the two of us are worth a bit of extra bother. So why don't you fill out an application to adopt us.
