Cavies and Canines Animal Rescue
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.
If you would like to visit a piggy, we do provide meet and greet sessions to get to know them better. If you are looking to find a buddy for your existing piggy, we can help organize bonding sessions to make sure it's a good match.

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!
