About Us

The Critter Corral is a small animal rescue specializing in guinea pigs. We were founded in April, 1999. As of January 1st we have taken in over 2100 homeless and unwanted Guinea Pigs! 95% of the Guinea Pigs in our rescue come from shelters and animal controls.
We are located in the Chicago area with homes in NW Indiana, Decatur and Springfield. We work with a foster home system throughout our area so we can find you the best possible pet. Being they are housed in private homes we can tell you the Guinea Pigs personality.
WE DO NOT SHIP PETS!!
Being there are so many homeless Guinea Pigs around the country we do not feel we should fill homes out of our area with our Guinea Pigs. Check your local shelters if you are not in the Chicago and surrounding suburban area (which includes NW Indiana and Decatur/Springfield). Contact us for more information.

Adopting a friend

There is an adoption application, adoption fee, and contract required. The adoption fee helps to cover feeding, bedding and medical care of the Guinea Pigs in the rescue. Please contact us for more information.

Support the Rescue Effort

Sponsor A Senior
This is a great way to help us care for the elderly and special needs piggies that come into the rescue. Many are normally euthanized at shelters due to their age. For just $20 for 6 months you can help provide for their care. No cleaning or feeding. You receive a lovely certificate and pigture with their story.
