Pet stores breed and sell guinea pigs, often advertising them as low maintenance pets. Because they require special care and attention, they often end up in shelters when pet owners aren’t able to meet their specific needs.
They are also very social; consider adopting two! Not all guinea pigs will get along, so consult with the rescue group or shelter’s adoption coordinator to learn about your prospective pet’s temperament to see if they would like a friend.
Guinea pigs can create a wide range of vocalizations. Whistling, purring and chirping are just a few ways they will communicate with each other and with you.
For every animal saved, countless others are still suffering. By stepping up for them, you can create a future where animals no longer have to suffer in puppy mills, factory farms, testing labs or other heartbreaking situations. Start saving lives today!
