Joey & Hugo's Story

Meet Joey and Baby Dakota!<br/><br/>Joey was rescued in January 2023 from a local shelter with a large group of male guinea pigs. They were neglected and underweight so we were very happy to be able to help get all 13 of them out of the shelter and safe with our incredible foster volunteers. Joey is about two and a half years old.<br/><br/>Joey is friendly, loves his treats and is great during lap time. He's very handsome and just a great piggy all around! He has such an outgoing personality that we just knew he would thrive with a piggy friend! That friend arrived in July of 2024 - Two month old Dakota! Dakota was rescued, along with 40 other guinea pigs, from a park where he and his family were living in the bushes. We are very happy that Dakota is so healthy despite living outside in the summer heat. <br/><br/>Now that they have each other Joey and Dakota need a loving home of their own! If you are ready to offer these boys a permanent home, please submit an adoption application. <br/><br/>To be considered for adoption you must be able to provide a minimum size 2 x 4 grid c&c cage (28" x 56"). Please see our Supply List for links to approved habitats: https://www.socalguineapigrescue.org/supplies-list<br/><br/>If you would like to try out guinea pig ownership, but aren't yet ready to adopt, we offer fostering options which include all needed supplies. We do ask that you provide fresh veggies daily.<br/><br/>Please reach out to us to learn more!

Southern California Guinea Pig Rescue's Adoption Policy
Adopters must fill out an application (available online) and submit a photo or receipt of their cage so we can verify our minimum space requirements are met. After approval, arrangements are made for the adopter to meet the guinea pigs with an experienced volunteer to facilitate the introductions and answer any questions. If trying to pair a single guinea pig with a current pig, the application process is the same but the meeting process is a bit lengthier. The adopter can meet with several single guinea pigs to see which one may be a harmonious match. Initial introductions can last a couple hours and the adopter will go home and reintroduce the guinea pigs and monitor for signs of aggression. If the bond fails, the adopter must separate the guinea pigs and we will make arrangements to take the guinea pig back. Then we repeat until we find a good match.
