We are a husband-wife team with a few volunteers who absolutely adore Guinea pigs. We began our rescue and Adoption Center in 2004 and have since found new loving homes for approximately 500 once abandoned, unwanted, unloved and/or abused wonderful furballs.
Guinea pigs are wonderful additions to any family who love animals and can devote the time and attention needed.
TLP&M will NOT offer babies for adoption until they are either three months old or we feel they are large enough so as to not get their heads stuck in the grids most people use for the habitat.
DID YOU KNOW . . .
a Guinea pig can get pregnant within 24 hours of giving birth?
if a Guinea pig has not had her first litter by the time she is five months of age, her pelvic bones will fuse and she will not be able to deliver her babies if she gets pregnant?
Guinea pigs become sexually-active between the ages of four and six WEEKS!?
most pet stores 'cages' are not large enough for one Guinea pig, much less two?
a Guinea pig can be more work than a dog or cat?
Guinea pigs have sensitive respiratory systems and are prone to upper respiratory infections?
Guinea pigs are allergic to mold which means they cannot be administered penicillin (or any other -cillins) if their upper respiratory infections proceeds into pneumonia?
Guinea pigs have and show emotions? They popcorn when happy, sulk when upset or mad at you, purr when content, get depressed when sad and clack their teeth when mad.
Guinea pigs are social as well as herd animals and normally are much happier and healthier when housed in groups of two or more?

If you are willing and able to take on a lifelong committment to one of our wonderful, adorable creations of God, why not submit a Pre-Adoption Application and allow a furball full of love into your heart and home!
