Our Story

Hi! Welcome to North Idaho Guinea Pig Rescue. It's a rescue dedicated to helping neglected, abandoned, surrendered, and unwanted guinea pigs find safe, loving homes.

Right now, we are in the beginning stages of building this rescue from the ground up while working toward becoming an official nonprofit organization. Although we are small, the need for guinea pig rescue in the North Idaho and Spokane areas is already incredibly clear. More and more small animals are being abandoned, neglected, or given away without proper care, and we want to be a safe place for them.

Every single donation directly helps the animals we take in. Your support will go toward:

Safe and appropriate cages & habitats Hay, pellets, and fresh vegetables Bedding and cleaning supplies Veterinary care and emergency medical treatment Emergency rescue intakes Educational resources to improve guinea pig care in our community

Our mission is bigger than rescue alone. We want to educate owners, advocate for better small animal care, and help guinea pigs get the love and quality of life they deserve.

Even a small donation makes a huge difference when starting from nothing. If you cannot donate, sharing our mission helps more than you know.

Thank you for supporting North Idaho Guinea Pig Rescue and helping us give these little animals a second chance at life. ❤️

Can you SHIP?

Sorry, NO. Please do not contact the owner and ask about shipping guinea pigs. It is NOT possible. Please look for guinea pigs LOCAL to you! That's what this site is for--helping you find a guinea pig close to home to adopt and love.

But I want THAT one!

Yes, that one is adorable and looks just like the one you must have for your very important reason or you will not be able to go on living. But, there are many more in your area that are just as wonderful. Perhaps they are not listed here, but they can be found. The piggy in need waiting for you near your own back yard might look a little different, but could melt your heart anyway!

Need help finding one or two?
