Ways to Donate
Annual Fundraising Campaign
What a year we have had. Over a dozen babies born in our care that needed to be raised before they could be spayed or neutered. Then some of our adorable skinny pigs refused to grow in a timely fashion, for us, that is.
We currently have approximately 50 guinea pigs in our care. At times this past year that number has been at over 90. Our foster network continues to give generously of their hearts, homes and monies. Because of our fosters’ big hearts we are able to use a huge percentage of your donations for veterinary expenses and medication.
Your donations help us care for the guinea pigs who have been abandoned, neglected, and/or abused. One pig such pig is Frankie-Lynn. Frankie-Lynn was named after Franklin Park. That is where she was discovered in November of last year roaming free under attack by a hawk. A Good Samaritan rescued her and contacted us. Frankie-Lynn is now n a sanctuary home here at MGPR because she has Addison's Disease. While her medication for this disease is not so very costly, we will want to be sure she is always going to get the support she needs. MGPR can do that because of you.
