Adopting
You can view our available guinea pigs for adoption on PetFinder. If you don't see a guinea pig you'd like to adopt, please check back weekly! We are always taking in new guinea pigs and updating the list. We are happy to answer additional questions about the animals you are interested in at that time.
Our current adoption fees are: $50 for one guinea pig, $80 for a pair, and $110 for a trio.
To apply please click below! We will call you to review the application and see if you and our piggies are a good fit!
Donations
There are many ways you can support Austin Guinea Pig Rescue! You can mail checks to the address listed on our contact page, donate using PayPal, sign up to be a sustaining donor on our Facebook page, or donate via Petstablished. We have an Amazon wish list here where you will find food, bedding items, toys and gift cards that we need. We also accept any grocery store gift cards (HEB, Randall's, Walmart, etc.) to purchase fresh food. We also have a wishlist on Chewy. If you have any items in good condition and/or not past the expiration date you would like to donate, please email us to arrange a time to drop them off.
Boarding and Grooming
If you are needing boarding, please email us and/or fill out a boarding application. Boarding is $20 per night for singles, $25 per night for two bonded guinea pigs in a single cage, and $30 per night for three bonded guinea pigs in a single cage. Nail trims and other services are also available for a small fee, contact us for details!
Fostering
We love our fosters and couldn't operate without them! We are especially in need of fosters with medical expertise.
