SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GUINEA PIG RESCUE
Our Mission
Southern California Guinea Pig Rescue (SCGPR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster based organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, care and rehoming of neglected, abandoned, and at-risk Guinea Pigs.
Our adoptable Guinea Pigs are cared for in homes by foster volunteers, and our organization operates entirely on donations. Our network spans the whole of Southern California.
We have decades of experience caring for and rescuing these special animals. We are committed to educating the public in hopes that guinea pigs are no longer seen as disposable starter pets, but as valued members of the family.

Adopt! Don't Shop!
Now more than ever, this message matters.
Rescues like ours are facing unprecedented numbers of unwanted guinea pigs. We've taken in animals found in dumpsters, abandoned in apartments, left on sidewalks, dumped in local parks and rescued from severe hoarding situations.
​
City and county shelters are overwhelmed and more guinea pigs than ever are in need of safe, loving homes.
​
Adopting from a rescue doesn’t just save one life, it makes space for us to save another.
