North Idaho Guinea Pig Rescue

Adoptable Piggies!

Maple, Chai and Apple Crisp

These three sweet girls are looking for a patient and understanding forever home where they can continue to build confidence and thrive together. They share a strong bond and must be adopted as a trio.

While they are still quite shy, they have made excellent progress in foster care. They eagerly come out for meals, enjoy exploring their enclosure, and love spending time together. Like many guinea pigs, they prefer to interact on their own terms and are still learning that people can be trusted.

Because they remain nervous about being picked up and handled, we are seeking an adopter with guinea pig experience who understands prey-animal behavior and is willing to work with them patiently. A large enclosure, proper diet, and a calm environment will help them continue gaining confidence.

These girls may not be lap pigs right away, but they are incredibly rewarding companions for someone who appreciates watching their personalities emerge over time. Their close bond, adorable antics, and growing curiosity make them a joy to care for.

Requirements:

  • Must be adopted together
  • Experienced guinea pig home preferred
  • Large, species-appropriate enclosure required
  • Quiet home preferred
  • Commitment to ongoing socialization and positive handling

Adoption Fee: $120 Applies to help support rescue efforts and the care of guinea pigs in need.


***Why Adopt Instead of Purchase?***

Many pet stores charge around $50 per guinea pig, making the upfront cost of purchasing three guinea pigs similar to or even higher than our adoption fee. However, guinea pigs obtained from pet stores are often sourced from large breeding facilities and may be exposed to overcrowding, stress, poor genetics, or illness before arriving at the store.

While not every pet store guinea pig will develop health issues, guinea pigs from these environments are generally at a higher risk for respiratory infections, parasites, pregnancy-related complications, and other medical concerns.

Our rescue carefully monitors the health and behavior of every guinea pig in our care and works to ensure they are matched with knowledgeable adopters who can provide appropriate housing, nutrition, and veterinary care. By adopting, you are not only welcoming wonderful companions into your home, but also supporting the rescue and rehabilitation of guinea pigs in need.



If you're looking to provide a loving home to a deserving trio and have the patience to let them blossom at their own pace, these girls may be the perfect addition to your family.
