Juniper’s Guinea Pig Rescue

04/26/2025

It's World Veterinary Day!

Juniper's often works with veterinarians at Hillside Pet Clinic and Ravenwood to ensure the health and well being of all of our piggies. They have helped us in so many ways - supporting us by sharing our donation links, giving pregnant piggies ultrasounds, and just last summer they came to the rescue to give health checks to the group of piggies that were abandoned in Wasilla. Give your vets a thank you today for all the work they do for the wellness of our animals 🐾❤️

🚨 URGENT: Volunteers, Fosters, and SuppliesNeeded ASAP for 18 Guinea Pigs Due To Emergency Surrender🚨

This week, Juniper’s Guinea Pig Rescue was contacted by an owner needing to surrender 18 guinea pigs immediately due to an emergency. While they are well cared for and beloved pets, the owner needs to find them new homes immediately. You may have seen our post from last week about nearing capacity. While we will be hitting capacity in taking in these pigs to help this owner, there are a few ways you can help so that we can continue to rescue all the piggies that need new homes!

VOLUNTEER: With so many pigs to care for, including the pigs already at our rescue, volunteers are crucial to running our rescue smoothly. Some of these tasks are: assist in administrative support, cage cleaning, grooming, guinea pig socialization, and general maintenance. Email [email protected] or apply here: https://forms.wix.com/f/7183535742583309188

FOSTER: Fostering is a huge help to the rescue because when piggies are in a temporary home, there is room at the rescue for more guinea pigs to be taken in. We are able to provide supplies, support, and are happy to work with families looking to foster on a temporary basis - 30, 60, or 90 days. Email [email protected] or apply here: https://forms.wix.com/f/7099177913676726796

DONATE: We take donations in multiple forms: supplies such as hay, pellets, fleece bedding, veggies, hides, food bowls and water bottles, fulfilling our Amazon wish list, and monetary donations. https://www.junipersguineapigs.com/donate

Thank you for your immediate support during this critical time. Together, we can make a life-saving difference for these guinea pigs.

Our lovely Director and our wonderful Care Coordinator went to the Animal Care Expo this wheek! It was a great opportunity to network with others who are passionate about the welfare of animals and attend workshops to learn more about running an amazing rescue!

Addi & Violet found a FOSTER HOME!

These sweet girls have a new piggie friend to live with and a new family to love on them until they find their fur-ever home!

We are so grateful for our foster families. With each family that takes in a pig or pair of pigs, a cage at our rescue is freed up for more pigs that need to be rehomed.

For our foster families, we are able to provide a handbook, supplies, and resources as needed to ensure the health, safety, and happiness of all of our pigs. Fosters check in with our Foster Coordinator monthly to monitor pig health together and discuss any needs they may have.

✨ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT: Rukia, Ruby, Mocha, and Caramel Bean✨

We have many guinea pigs at Juniper's just waiting to find their forever homes. Today we'd like to share this family of pigs available for adoption.

Rukia, who is only about 5 months old, recently gave birth to three healthy little pups: Ruby (white), Mocha (brown & orange), and teeny little Caramel Bean (orange with a white crest). When guinea pigs are born, they can't be separated from their mom until they are done nursing, around 3 weeks old. Since Rukia's babies will be approaching that age soon, they are almost ready for adoption!

If you would like to adopt any of these little babies or their momma, fill out an Adoption Application here: https://forms.wix.com/f/7183601734923584236

The piggies here at Juniper's have created an Amazon wishlist so their humans can continue to rescue as many piggies as possible! Since we are nearing maximum capacity, we are looking to create more space for all the piggies that need to be rehomed without a wait. The piggies would like for you to consider fulfilling a portion of our wishlist so they can make more furry friends.

✨ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT: S'mores & Brownie✨

We have many guinea pigs at Juniper's just waiting to find their forever homes. Today we'd like to share this pair of boars available for adoption.

S'mores is the piggie that, well...looks like smores! He's got white (marshmallow), tan (chocolate), and black (graham crackers)! Brownie's got more dark grey and champagne colored fur. These pigs are very sweet and are looking for their new furever family!

✨ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT: Orville & Wilbur✨

We have many guinea pigs at Juniper's just waiting to find their forever homes. Today we'd like to share this pair of boars available for adoption.

Don't be mistaken, these are NOT the aviation pioneers you are familiar with - just a pair of very handsome piggies that would look really cute flying a plane! Orville and Wilbur are both Crested Guinea Pigs with tri-colored fur patterns. Orville has orange in his fur, while Wilbur has more white in his fur.

📣CALLING ALL GUINEA PIG LOVERS📣

We are reaching our capacity to take in surrendered guinea pigs. This means that, unfortunately, for the time being we will not be able to take in guinea pigs and will instead have to put them on a waitlist. To ensure we can continue to take in more guinea pigs that need new homes, we need your help!

If you have been considering adopting a guinea pig, now just might be the right time for you! We have so many sweet piggies just waiting for their fur-ever home.

If a lifetime commitment wouldn’t fit your lifestyle right now, consider a shorter term commitment - fostering! We can arrange for fosters to take in piggies for 30, 60, or 90 days at a time, or indefinitely. We also have supplies available for foster families to borrow!

To see all the piggies we have available for adoption, check out our Petfinder: https://www.petfinder.com/search/pets-for-adoption/?page=2&shelter_id%5B0%5D=AK81&sort%5B0%5D=recently_added
