We are a VERY small rescue organization and largely rely on donations from the general public. The reason many of our rescued animals are abandoned is that they require medical treatment (which their owners are not prepare to finance), so we regularly end up with expensive veterinary bills.

At times, it is a struggle to afford this, but we're fully committed to ensuring all our animals receive the care they need and we NEVER euthanize healthy animals. Here's where you come in. Anything you can help with will make a difference.

Below you will find some more ways to donate to Austin Guinea Pig Rescue. And don't forget to ask for your tax-exempt donation receipt if it does not email to you automatically!

How to help

Donate items for our animals

If you prefer, you can also purchase the items you'd like to donate and deliver them to us. Just email us to arrange a time to drop them off.

You can also make things if you like! For instance, we have previously had donations of empty toilet tissue rolls stuffed with orchard grass hay, which make great chewing toys. All you have to do is collect some empty toilet rolls, buy some orchard grass hay (we usually use Oxbow's), and stuff the hay in them - easy!
​(Timothy hay can be used as well, but this is not as fine as the orchard grass hay, which makes the stuffing harder. Straw should not be used, though.)

Finally, we are always happy to receive UNEXPIRED and unused litter, hay and/or pellets.

Add funds to our account at Westgate Pet and Bird Hospital or Agave Vet Care and Exotic Animal Hospital

We mainly use Westgate Pet and Bird and Agave Veterinary Hospitals. Despite their kindly giving us discounted rates, our bill is always high. This is because many of our rescued animals are in need of emergency veterinary care. You can always call them and add some funds to Austin Guinea Pig Rescue's account. Here are their details:
