Nibble, Nutmeg & Salem's Story

Nibble, Nutmeg and Salem are a bonded trio that need to be adopted together. 3 isn't really that much more work than 2. Salem will hide in places you wouldn’t expect. Like in the hay bag and under cage liners. She’s smart and the best cuddler once you catch her! Plus she’s incredibly soft. I like to think of Nutmeg as the mature, older sister. She’s not as easily startled and goes with the flow. If you put your fingers raised under her chin, she’ll rest her head on it! Nibble’s favorite pastime is messing with the other two. She is pften found close to one of the other pigs or following their lead. She’s very curious outside of the cage. She’s shy but spunky!

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).
