AMGPR is a small rescue founded in December 2008, when the only other rescue in the area closed its doors. Since that time, the rescue has placed over 200 guinea pigs in forever homes! But, this is clearly not enough. So many pigs are turned away due to lack of space. The rescue itself can only house 5 to 6, and four foster homes can house up to 10 guinea pigs. Because of our limited space, we encourage owners to surrender and foster their pigs until a suitable home can be found for them. Currently, we are in need of foster homes to increase the numbers of pigs we can take in. AMGPR is run solely on donations and volunteers.

I was wondering if you were taking in any guinea pigs. I have two males I bought for my sister. Shorty after we brought them home we found she was allergic. She seems to be getting worse and the allergy medicine they gave her isn't working anymore. If anyone could hepe find a happy new home that would be amazing.
2 Cute Female Guinea Pigs for Adoption. They are sisters and are 1 1/2 yeas old. Sweet and gentle. I will also include a huge rabbit cage and all of the accessories that you need to keep them happy and comfortable. These two must stay together.
If interested for immediate adoption, email to:

Thank you, Howard Steuer
These pigs are NOT in the rescue. Please, OP, list your pigs for rehoming on the proper place on the GPZ website. You will not get the proper exposure here, nor can we endorse these animals as we've not seen them.
Jamie is approximately 2 1/2 years old, mostly white with some brown/black around face. Her sister died a few weeks ago and I am looking for a home for Jamie so she is not alone. She is sweet and docile. For further info/pictures please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Please use the function on the main Guinea Pig Zone site to list your pig. This is not the place to get maximum exposure. We can't claim any knowledge about this pig's sex or health. This pig is not in our rescue, nor have we seen it.

There is a way to post on this site and not have it under the rescue. Please post them there. These are not pigs in the rescue and we know nothing about them.
I have 2 male guinea pigs that need a good home. They come with a 8sq ft open cage each, water bottles, huts and supplies for a month.They are 3 years old, have not been neutered because they are in separate cages but close together with cable ties joining the cage together, so 16 sq ft of cage space all together.
They have been well looked after, just not the right pet for our family, my kids don't interact with them all we do is feed them and clean, keep them in good condition and safe from harm.
I separated the brothers when I senses some aggression but did not know enough about them to know for sure if they were being territorial or not. I am not sure how they will bond. They don't bite, still a little skittish but have nice natures.
Hi Michael. Do you still have Yorki? I am looking for a friend to accompany my adult male right now. He is lonely. Do you think Yorki would bond with another male guinea. Mine is not neutered. Is Yorki? I would like more info on him if you think the situation is appropriate for him. Thanks.
I have two precious beautiful guinea pigs needing a loving and nurturing home. The owner is unable to care for them due to a change in their work schedule. They are female, and both have not reached a year old yet. Their names are Paris and Caramel. Pictures will come soon.
There is a place on GPZ to list your pigs. The rescue area is not the place to do it. Any one that is interested, please know these pigs are not part of our rescue. We can't verify the sex or health of any pigs listed here.

I saw your post dated December 20 and am very interested in your guinea pigs. Are they still available? Thank you for consideration.
My daughter took in two female guinea pigs from a friend who was moving out of state.Unfortunately her sister seems be to allergic to them. They are over a year old, have a cage and are litter pan trained.
If you know someone who has a good home and can adopt them I would be grateful. Thanks for looking!
We are interested in giving a guinea pig a home. Please let us know if you need someone to bring yours home :)
Hello my name is Anecia Clark. I have a guinea pig named Rollsvelt in
need of a good home. I have moved into a new residence and they do not
allow small animals. I was inquiring if there is any way you guys
could help me find a good place for him. He's over a year old and a
really sweet boy. He has a cage and a bowl and he's litter pan
trained. If you guys could rescue him or let me know of any other
options it will be very much obliged.
Anecia I have responded to your emails a couple of times. Please check your spam folders if you are not receiving them. There is a place on this site under the Guinea Pig Directory to list your pigs yourself. If you are having trouble I'm sure the site owner can help.

The post you are referring to is not affiliated with the rescue. If you'd like to see our available pigs you can find them on Petfinder. Her listing should have been in the section of Guinea Pig Zone for private listings.
I have two beautiul healthy guinea pigs that I need to find a good home for. They are both males and I would like them to stay together, they have always been together. Both of them are a little over a year old. They have mutil- unique colors and they are sweet and loving! Please contact me if you are interested.
There is a section on this website for private individuals to list their pigs for adoptions. This is not a listing affiliated with our rescue.
My piglet has beeen adopted! I pray the rest of the piglets find great loving homes
I have a male piglett about 1 1/2 years old who is need of a home. If a good natured warm loving person could would take him that would be great. I work at a vet hospital he is very healthy. I just am expecting an child soon and im afraid he may be neglected due to the caring of the new baby. if you would like him free of charge. Cage included and sippy bottle included. Please emailme asap at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
I am interested in helping out where I can. I have always like guinea pigs and think they really get a raw deal in life often sold to neglectful children as first pets. I would be willing to foster. If you are still in need please email.
Gary
Gary, I do not have your email but please email me at the address at the top of the page so we can futher discuss fostering.
Hi my name is Heather. I am looking to adopt a male guinea pig to be a buddy for my male guinea pig. I bought the one I have now from a pet store, but I have decided that it is best to adopt one that needs a home from a rescue. When I bought Tyce(my guinea pig) I bought 2 but one acted sick within two days of having him so I took him to 2 different vets because the first one did not know what was wrong with him. I found out that he had pneumonia and the vet put him on antibiotics but he did not make it. He only lived for a week after I bought him so I made the decision to wait on getting another one because I wanted to make sure that Tyce was healthy and did not infect another guinea pig. It has been 4 months now and he is just as healthy as ever so I think it is time to find him a friend. We have a C&C cage and everything we need so my question is how do I go about adopting one from there? Also do you have any males avalable for adoption? My email is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and my number is 423-322-0708 just incase :)
