My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet the crew of guineas we have for adoption! If you are adopting a single male to pair with another boar, please be prepared to have 2 separate cages. Before inquiring, please do some basic research to make sure you have room and time for a guinea. Make sure you understand dietary needs as well. Guineas are considered “exotic” pets, and not all vets will take them. Vetting can be required unexpectedly and can be expensive. Guineas should not be the sole responsibility of a child. We are more than happy to help if you have questions before and after adoption! Before adopting, you will need to provide pictures of your set up and answer some questions. There is an adoption fee as well. We only adopt to adults. Please don’t have your child text us. If you are interested in meeting and adopting a Guinea or two, want to see more pics, or have a question, please text us at (702)366-6391.

Male Pairs:
Lenny and Apollo- Rescue favorites! These are our chonkiest, most friendly and easygoing boys. These boys chose each other and have loved being paired ever since Apollo knocked the barrier down in their cage. We’ve had these boys for almost 2 YEARS! They deserve a home! Lenny allows pets in the cage, while Apollo is more shy. These boys could be about 4-5 years old.

Truffle and Oscar- These two are fun and like to play and popcorn. They came from separate situations but have enjoyed being together. Both take treats from your hand and love pea flakes! Truffle is about 2 years old, and Oscar is 1 year.

Brownie and Marshmallow- These boys are sweet and like being with each other. It takes a few minutes to warm up to being held, but they settle nicely and enjoy ear and head rubs. They are about 4 years old.

Booker and Andy- almost 2 years old. They were adopted from us at 5 weeks old and returned due to their adopter having no space or interest. These boys are very handsome and shy at first. They are starting over and hopefully find the best dedicated family!

Single Males:

Snow- came from ”the list” at our local shelter. He’s been nothing but a good boy here. All his siblings were picking on him in the shelter, and he came to us with healing wounds. He’s interested in other guineas, but we haven’t found one that’s a perfect match yet. Snow is 2 years old. He’s very skittish about handling, but with slow calm movements and a soothing voice he will cuddle in for snuggles. He has a funny personality and is quite handsome! He tends to be an escape artist!

Ernie- Ernie is 1 year old. He has a unique pattern and is very handsome! He will come to the cage to accept treats. He’s a bit skittish about being picked up, but once he is, he enjoys a cuddle.

Sammy- Sammy is a 1 year old and is an energetic guy! Sammy is learning that being held is a good thing. He’s being fostered in a classroom. Even though he’s younger, he hasn’t wanted to bond with other males. He will chat through the bars though.

Gouda- This guy is about 1.5 years old. He came in with a buddy but ended up being quite a bully. He prefers to be a gridmate. He’s skittish about being picked up at first, but once he is, he settles down. He likes lettuce but won’t touch cilantro! He is shy with people until he trusts you. Gouda is being fostered in a classroom to help him get used to people.

Batman- About 2 years old- he’s an Aby with adorable cowlicks. He’s friendly and loves nose pets. If you sit on the floor, he’ll climb in your lap. He has not had a lot of interest in other males- he does well as a gridmate. Batman was abandoned at Petco.

Arbuckle- about 2 years old, he was also abandoned at Petco. Arbuckle is currently on meds for an open wound/cyst. Once it is healed he’ll be available. He is sweet and loves kisses.

Female Pairs:
Rosemary and Cordelia- are a 6 months old and love hanging out together in their tunnel. If you want to hear their voices, grab a lettuce bag or some pea flakes! Rosemary came from a hoarding situation and Cordelia’s sister was adopted- so they became a perfect match. They are friendly girls and come to the cage to get snacks. They must be adopted together as they are great friends.

Jazzy and Daisy- these two were owner surrenders. They are about 3-4 years old. They are vocal and Jazzy is especially friendly. Daisy is friendly and easy to handle. They love their veggies and make sure to remind you to remember them daily. They are good with kids and have been around them. Daisy is a special needs girl as she has severe arthritis in her back legs and will require meds for the rest of her life (which she takes very easily).

Ivy and Iris- these two came from the local shelter. Iris (Mom) is likely just under a year old and Ivy was born June 5, 2023. These two are beautiful and love snacks and being together. They love tunnels, lettuce and sharing cucumber slices.

Single female:

Brownie Bite- Brownie Bite is 7-8 months old and is becoming more outgoing, especially when it comes to her snacks! She will come to the cage to accept treats and loves snuggling into your neck and hair. She doesn’t really like the process of being picked up, but once that’s over, she’s fine. Brownie Bite has not wanted to bond with other females we have tried; she is very bossy. Being a gridmate or finding a neutered male may work for her.

More about this rescue

A Home 4 Spot is comprised of many volunteers throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and other outlining areas that take in abused, neglected, medical needs and at risk dogs in their homes to start the rehabilitation process to heal our dogs inside out. Our objective is simple in that we treat, socialize and re-home dogs to homes that we closely evaluate making sure that each dog continues to thrive in their new home.
We have open our very own thrift store so people can donate slightly used items so we can spruce them up a bit, recondition and then resale them to the public which in return gives us the ability to help more dogs. Because of the decline in our economy, these last few years have been extremely hard for charities like ourselves and we have really seen the affects. We hate to turn any dog away and would love to save them all so any amount whether it be $1.00 to $100.00, helps us maintain our goal to eventually help self sustain our costs and eventually grow our rescue to its biggest potential possible.
More times than not, we will help a family who simply cannot afford medical treatment on a dog. Our referral system and our contacts give us the ability to reasonably help a family take care of their dog's financial needs and in the event that they cannot, we have never turned a dog away in need.
We offer other services such as training, medical care and education to the public. Our training just doesn't involve the dogs, but the humans associated with the dogs. If we can help an owner find a solution to keep their pet and it is in the best interest for the pet to stay with the owner, than we work closely with these individuals and formulate plans to achieve this. Sometimes it is just as simple as the food they eat and sometimes it involves getting in trainers to work closely with the dogs to encourage socialization, acceptable behavior in public and the home.
Each volunteer that we accept into A Home 4 Spot is given an application to fill out on our website, www.ahome4spot.com and is required to receive periodic home checks as well as each volunteer must agree to transport the animal to the vet care facility as needed and attend at least two adoption events a month If for some reason this is not able to happen for reasons unseen, we have other volunteers that can help with transport and handle the dog during the events. The goal is to provide a safe, warm home with lots of love to reverse the dog’s outlook on life.
We host adoption events every Saturday at PetSmart, located at 1321 W Craig Rd. in North Las Vegas. We do provide food and the basic care items for our dogs so volunteers have the tools to successfully care for the placed dog in their home. Because we are a non-profit, we rely on fundraising and charity donations to help us with the biggest expense, our medical. Typically, our medical runs about $4,000.00 plus a month. We provide all the shots, microchip, and the spay or neuter plus any additional treatment needed. Our typical adoption fees range from $350.00 upward to $600.00. This really just depends on the dog's medical needs, the age of the dog, the training needed and of course the breed of the dog. When we reference breed of the dog, it is simply because we encourage people to understand that certain dogs are extremely high maintenance and require more than just routine care so an increase in the adoption cost gives us somewhat of a guideline that this family could afford the needs of the dog with less chance of a return or a "dump".
Every family considering adopting a dog goes through a complete thorough process. It begins with a search on our site Ahome4spot.com or maybe they have seen one of our dogs at an event or a blast on social media. They can inquire many ways. One would be via email, another by phone and lastly they can also attend our events to meet and greet the dog they are drawn too. We have a very thorough application process that includes a rather lengthy questionnaire, a thorough home check and sometimes several visits and/or play dates. We are in absolutely no hurry to ever place any of our dogs, in fact we believe that finding the right fit for all parties concerned might take more than just a meet and greet and home check. Because of this, our return rate is extremely lower than per say establishments such as kill shelters. Our volunteers area given the right tools to help them determine whether or not the home is the perfect match. Even though our efforts are valiant in this process, we still receive from time to time dogs back into the rescue and we are proud to say that we keep the commitment to the families we adopt out too as well as continue our relationship with them forever.
