My story

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

Gizmo and Rue are three-year-old female piggies.  They were shy upon arrival in February 2024, but have settled into their foster home and are little characters.  They now eagerly talk at the slightest bag crinkle in hopes of receiving veggies or a treat.  They will greet their foster mom and accept treats and greens that are hand fed.   They don’t like hands reaching in will try to get away, but when picked up, they calm down quickly when held securely and petted.   They will accept small pets on the nose when taking a treat.  Rue has a smooth coat and Gizmo is fuzzy with longer hair that is reminiscent of a fuzzy caterpillar.   Rue is the more vocal of the two.  Her favorite game is to avoid being picked up, then whooping like a car alarm until she decides you are okay and worthy of holding her.   They will need a home with people who are patient and willing to earn their trust.  They are estimated to have been born December 2021.

Gizmo is missing one of her eyes but she gets along just fine.  She had an issue with one eye that placed it in danger of rupturing, necessitating surgical removal of her eye.  She did great at the vet and recovered quickly.

They would do best in an enclosure of at least eight square feet to explore.  Potential adopters please make sure there are no hay allergies in the home before adopting.  A meet and greet can be scheduled if you are not sure or have never handled guinea pigs.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We are a small rescue who cares for all our pets in
foster homes. We do NOT have a facility & all animals
are seen by appointment only, after an application has
been approved.
Dogs' adoption fee includes vetting, spaying/neutering, and any health care they may need. For some dogs, the fee may be reduced for reasons that can be made available. Cats' adoption fee include vetting, spaying/neutering, and any health care. All are heartworm negative. We require all possible adopters to fill out an adoption application, and to submit themselves to home visits by staff or volunteers, or by local rescues. Vet reference will be required and will be used. Upon adopting, an adoption contract will be signed. Call me or email to start this process.

More about this rescue

I got involved with rescue work out of love for animals. I had decided to set up my own rescue. I serve mostly deaf animals because they are first to be put down and are usually deemed untrainable, unadoptable and unlovable. I didn't feel this was right or fair.
