Our Story

Cavies and Canines Animal Rescue is a PACFA licensed non-profit guinea pig rescue in Colorado. The rescue was founded in 2016 and we have been in Colorado since 2018. Our founder Natalie’s passion for guinea pigs goes back to 1995! We are 100% foster home-based, meaning the guinea pigs in our rescue live with families like you until their forever home comes along. Our services include adoptions, education, rehoming assistance, nail trims, health checks, boarding, parasite treatment, and bonding assistance. Our guinea pigs are quarantined before adoption and undergo a health and behavior evaluation before they are put up for adoption. Females are put on a 10 week pregnancy watch. Cavies and Canines Animal Rescue will also provide free nail trims and health checks for all adopters.

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?

We can help you. Take a look here for some great links and suggestions. And if you still need help with your search, check that page to reach out to us for some specific assistance. Volunteers are standing by willing to help you!

Adoption Jitters?

Registering helps keep spammers away and helps ensure inquiries and dialogs are serious -- hopefully!

Someone not responding?

It can be frustrating when someone doesn't get back to you. Please respond promptly to legitimate inquiries.

Listings auto-expire 3 weeks from listing date, renewable in 3-week increments. Reminders are sent 7, 5, and 2 days from expiration. If you are rehoming, please delete your listing promptly when no longer available!

Surrender to a Rescue?

If you are rehoming, please use this site to create a listing. It works! Many rescues are full and reserve openings for pulling from shelters. That is, if you have a guinea pig rescue near you. There aren't that many across the country.

Feeling Desperate? In a hurry?

Never "release" your guinea pigs outdoors. Domesticated pets will not "survive in the wild." It's a painful death sentence. Take your pets to your local city or county shelter, animal control, SPCA, or Humane Society where they will likely be adopted out.

Please see this list of additional local resources you can try for rehoming your guinea pigs.
