🧡🧡 Pumpkin and Latte are looking for a new home! 🧡🧡

Pumpkin and Latte are a beautiful mother-daughter pair that were adopted from us last year. Unfortunately their family is moving overseas and unable to take them, so they're on the hunt for a new forever home.

The girls are sweet and cuddly with kids and adults, and full of personality and charm. Pumpkin and Latte's adoption will include their gorgeous cage and accessories, so their new home is fully set up to spoil them.

If you think you're the perfect forever home for these stunning girls please get in touch via our Facebook/Instagram or by emailing [email protected]

Adopt Bumblebee!

Little boy Bumblebee was found abandoned in a park, rescued by a kind person, and brought to our shelter. After meeting a couple of other single piggies here who both did not like him, he's looking for a new home and friend!

Bumblebee is estimated to be about 4-7 months old and still has lots of growing to do. He's quite shy which is to be expected after being stranded alone in the big scary outdoors, but is warming up really well to pats and love.

Bumblebee is a great fit for a few different situations:

- A male piggy currently needing a bonded friend to share a cage with

- A male piggy who doesn't want to share a cage, but is looking for a "neighbour" to live in an adjacent cage

- A pair of males looking for a "neighbour" to live in an adjacent cage

- A spayed female looking for a new bonded friend to share a cage with

While we wait for his permanent home, we are also looking for a foster carer with other male guinea pigs where Bumblebee can be in a separate adjacent cage (all provided free of charge) but still able to see and talk to other piggies.

If you're interested in fostering or adopting Bumblebee, or would like more information about our other available piggies, get in touch via our Facebook/Instagram or by emailing [email protected]

Porthos is looking for a girlfriend!

Porthos is a little boy guinea pig rescued from an overcrowded backyard breeder by the RSPCA, and transferred into our care.

Porthos had a very rough start to life. He's got quite a few battle scars and split ears from the bigger boys picking on him, so he's been desexed to live happily with girls instead.

If you've got a girl or group of girls Porthos would love to live with you! He's loving learning to be spoilt in foster care and is a sweet piggy with lots of love to give.

If you'd like to adopt porthos get in touch via our Facebook/Instagram page or by emailing [email protected]

Rusty and Dusty are still looking for their forever home!

Rusty came into our care after his friend passed away, and Dusty was transferred to us from RSPCA as she didn't have a friend either.

These two cuties are very much in love - Dusty is spayed so no chance of babies.
They're a little shy when being handled at the moment but will really come out of their shells in a loving home environment where they can learn that people aren't too scary.

If you're not sure you can commit to adopting, ask us about fostering to see if Rusty and Dusty are the right fit for you.

To adopt Rusty and Dusty, or to find out more information about our available guinea pigs for adoption and fostering, get in touch via our Facebook/Instagram or by emailing [email protected]

Rusty and Dusty are located in Dulwich Hill, Sydney.

14/05/2024

Looking for short term and long term foster carers! You can be located anywhere in Sydney as long as you're able to get to and from our Dulwich Hill shelter.

We've been inundated with surrender requests the past couple of weeks, and need carers able to take 2 guinea pigs for a period of 3+ weeks so that we can help these piggies.

A cage and all the equipment is supplied, you just provide the food and love!

If you're interested in fostering with us, or would like more information about adopting any of our beautiful available piggies, send us a Facebook/Instagram message or email [email protected]

Terrific trio looking for foster or forever home!

Sooty, Scarlett and Sally are a beautiful bonded trio looking for a loving family. Scarlett and Sally are both spayed so there's no worrying about babies from Sooty, and these three piggies have a very sweet bond.

Scarlett and Sally are a bit shy, but confident Sooty is showing the girls how to love pats and attention.

If you're interested in more information about adopting or fostering Sooty, Scarlett and Sally, or you'd like some information about our other available piggies, send us a message on our Facebook/Instagram or email [email protected]

Mistletoe and Jingle are looking for a home!

Mistletoe and Jingle are the last of our Christmas rescue piggies looking for their forever home. The girls' foster carer is going on holiday next week so we are looking for a short or long term foster carer potentially interested in adopting this adorable duo.

The girls are happy and healthy and both very young with Mistletoe to be estimated to still be under a year old. These girls have another 5-9 years of love to give their forever family.

Their foster carer describes the girls:

Jingle - Small and mighty, always happy wheeking and popcorning! Full of energy with impressive acrobatic skills

Mistletoe - Independent and sometimes sassy! She is a diva and strong enough to pull things around to rearrange the cage how she likes it.

If you'd like to adopt Mistletoe and Jingle, or can offer your home short or long term as a foster carer, please get in touch by messaging our Facebook/Instagram or by emailing [email protected]

What's better than two piggies? THREE piggies!

Squeaks, Stefan, and Shadow are a gorgeous trio looking for a loving forever home to spoil them.

Usually male guinea pigs bond in pairs, and we don't recommend attempting to add more boys to an existing pair, but these three boys have been bonded since birth and are the adorable exception to this rule.

Three guinea pigs do need a bit more space than 2, but it's three times the love. 💛

The boys' foster carer had the following to say about them:

- Squeaks (caramel) super cuddly, easy going and loves carrot pieces. Is the quickest to hide when it’s time to get their cage cleaned.
- Stefan (tri colour) is the more timid one and needs a gentle cuddle. He loves celery and will bravely reach for a piece if he can see it.
- Shadow (dark brown) is the more outgoing one. He is very intrigued with our cat and will happily take any food with a pat.

If you think you can offer the boys their forever home, or are interested in more information about any of our other available guinea pigs, get in touch via messaging our Facebook/ Instagram or by emailing [email protected]

Foster home needed!

We've been asked by the RSPCA to take on 2 lovely little girls, but we need a foster carer before we can pick them up.

All equipment and training is supplied you're just in charge of feeding and giving cuddles!

If you're able to help short or long term please send us a message on our Facebook/Instagram or by emailing [email protected]

Meet Gandalf!

Gandalf is a confident, cuddly and adorable 4 year old male piggy who is looking for a foster or forever home. This sweet boy has been waiting months for a forever home, but we know it's out there somewhere!

After being trialled with quite a few boys, Gandalf has made it clear he's happiest in his own cage, and is equally happy living near other other piggies in their cages or being the only guinea pig in the house to soak up all the attention.

Gandalf thrives in a home environment so we'd like to find a family to love him until we find his forever home so he doesn't have to wait in the shelter. He does great with kids and adults, and would do great in a home of both first time owners or one with piggy experience.

If you'd like to foster Gandalf short or long term we can provide a cage and all the equipment you need to spoil him.

To get in touch about adopting or fostering Gandalf, or any of our other guinea pigs, send us a message on Facebook or Instagram, or email [email protected]

We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who donated to help get our latest groups of surrenders rescued. We've managed to bring in enough funds to get them all vet checked prior to going up for adoption. 💛 These sweet girls are ten month old mum Pumpkin, and her 3 month old daughters Spice (left), and Latte (right). While they're definitely very scared after their rough start to life, they're already settling in well and loving all the attention and good food! The girls will be staying at our shelter for the next ten weeks to monitor them for pregnancy since they were being housed with males, keep an eye out for them up for adoption in mid January. 💛 Come meet the girls and our other shelter piggies by volunteering for our cage cleaning! Thursdays 6pm and Sundays 11am, message us for more information. 😊
