Callie & Praline's Story

Callie is great- she will take treats from your hand and loves to be pet in your lap. She's not a huge fan of being picked up, so we've trained her to go into a felt sock so that we can lift her and move her. Once she's in your lap on a towel she's very relaxed and likes pets and treats. She loves to explore in her piggy play pen. She's definitely the boss in the relationship! She loves her veggies and will let you know when its meal time.<br/><br/>Praline is more timid than Callie but she's come a long way in the past couple of months. She was a good mama to her babies. She does not like to be petted from above or picked up, but she is also trained to go into a felt sock so that we can move her around. Once she's in our lap she's chill and likes pets and scratches. She will now take treats from your hand. She loves to burrow and play on the mat.

Austin Guinea Pig Rescue's Adoption Policy
Please answer the following questions before deciding on your potential guinea pigs. We try to ensure the best possible match between animals and adopter. Remember that this is a lifetime commitment. You will be asked to sign a legal contract when adopting any of our guinea pigs and you must pay an adoption fee. The fees go directly to AGPR to help pay for upkeep and medical care. Keep in mind the following points: The adopter must be within driving distance of Austin, Texas. We do not ship guinea pigs. Guinea pigs must be housed indoors. An onsite visit may be required. Guinea pigs can live up to 7-9 years. We are looking for those special adopters who will make every effort possible to keep their guinea pigs for their entire life despite life style changes (divorce, moving, etc.). Guinea pigs may not be adopted as gifts. All members of a household should visit the prospective animal. We do not adopt guinea pigs to children. We do adopt to families. An adult must sign the adoption contract. Please do not have your children call or email. Applicants under 18 years of age must have a parent or legal guardian apply on their behalf. Please understand that the guinea pigs available for adoption are all housed in foster homes. We do not have a shelter facility. We rely on the kindness of volunteers to care for and socialize our foster animals. Sometimes, if guinea pigs have been fostered for a long period of time, a strong bond forms between the foster parent and the guinea pigs. The foster parent has the final determination in whether or not the guinea pigs will be relinquished into your custody. Cancellation policy: We understand that sometimes emergencies happen, or you change your mind. We ask that you give us at least 24 hours' notice if you do not intend to keep your appointment. Cancellations of less than 24 hours are subject to a cancellation fee to compensate the volunteer for time spent getting ready for your visit. We try to reply to all applications within 48-72 hours. If you have not received a phone call or email after 48 hours have passed, please email us at austingpr@gmail.com. We will not contact you if the application is incomplete (i.e. you only fill out your contact information and possibly pet history).
