Guinea Pig Sanctuary. 

Guinea Pigs need rehoming for all sorts of reasons, sometimes they are just no longer wanted and sometimes very caring owners are unable to keep their much loved  piggies.
No matter what the reason, owners can be sure that their piggies will receive the very best care and if they are rehomed, will only go to homes where we know they will be loved and cared for.

This two little boar pups are now ready for rehoming. Please email thistlecavies@btinternet.com  if interested.

We are a small self funded  non profit making,family run rescue based in Argyll, Scotland. At present we are caring for 42 piggies. Some of these we will be able to rehome and some will live out there lives with us either because they are too old to rehome or are in need of special care.
Many of  the piggies that arrive at the rescue are in a very sad state and need a lot of care and attention.
We will never turn away a piggy in need or put a piggy to sleep just because it needs a lot of care.
