I've been volunteering at Austin Guinea Pig Rescue for the past months, fostering guinea pigs under their supervision until they become adopted. Since I first contacted them, they were very professional on how they handle the health, nutrition, and wellbeing of their piggies, which is extremely reassuring both as a volunteer and longtime fur-baby parent.
I highly recommend them; they make sure to give their guinea pigs the best life until they find an even better one in their forever-homes.
The Austin Guinea Pig Rescue is a great resource in Central Texas. They are helping to find forever homes for guinea pigs as well as educate pet owners and the general public about how to properly care for these special creatures.
I found Austin Guinea Pig Rescue as an adopter. My male guinea pig was lonely, and the rescue helped me find a perfect friend for him. They are an incredibly experienced team of good people. My Hayes came with a clean bill of health and an experienced support team: The rescue helped me with guidance on how to care for my guinea pigs, and good advice when one of them sprained his ankle. I have since adopted repeatedly from them. I’ve been so happy with this rescue that I wanted to give back, so I became a sanctuary foster for two of the older guinea pigs they are caring for. It’s been the most rewarding experience to me, as I love guinea pigs. You see, dog and cat rescues receive support from bigger donors or the city. Few people know that small furry animals are also given up to local shelters, where they do not thrive. Their welfare and rescue is completely up to dedicated private rescuers who use their own time, homes, and resources to care for guinea pigs finding themselves stranded and in need. You see, guinea pigs also wholeheartedly believe that they are born to be adored, and want to be served fresh vegetables, pellets, and hay daily. Please enjoy some pictures of my own cute overlords. Won’t you find it in your heart to support the selfless, brave, and wonderful people who have dedicated their lives to running the Austin Guinea Pig Rescue and connecting families with their best small pet experience?
I have both adopted from and volunteered with AGPR ever since I moved to Austin, which is over 10 years ago. They not only help piggies find a forever home, they care for those that are too old or have too many medical issues to be adopted out. Those sanctuary piggies are given the best treatment possible, with a loving home with their fosters.
Being a volunteer and foster parent for Austin Guinea Pig Rescue is not only extremely fun but rewarding! I have so far fostered two pairs of guineas and can confirm that AGPR takes great care of their animals- as there are monthly checkups between fosters and weekly weighs to ensure their wellbeing. I 100% recommend AGPR whether you are looking to adopt guinea pigs or volunteer for something unique.
I adore the Audrey Gives Pig Rescue. My family is a foster family through AGPR and it has been so rewarding!!! We have a pair of sweet little boy piggies that we hold every day, and hand feed, and get to play with while they wait for their forever family. I love looking over my bar counter and seeing them wheek when we make breakfast and they are just waking up and want their own breakfasts. Fostering has been a really fun way to help out and my family loves it!!
I’ve volunteered with the AGPR after my sweet guinea pigs passed away. The knowledge care and concern that is shown for the rescues and sanctuary pigs is fantastic!
This rescue has been amazing for so many different reasons. They take excellent care of their animals. They take time to educate and teach how to properly care for them. I’m able to go on vacation because I can board my guinea pigs with them and know they will receive the best care.
My best friend is a long-time volunteer for Austin Guinea Pig Rescue (AGPR) and I have observed her work with the organization. AGPR volunteers rescue abandoned guinea pigs from public parks, parking lots, and anywhere else they are dumped by their original owners. The rescued piggies are humanely housed, provided with medical treatment, and nursed back to good health. Once they are healthy again, they are placed for adoption with vetted responsible owners. I am highly impressed with the dedication and rescue results of AGPR volunteers. I highly recommend the AGPR organization.
After owning my little guinea pig, I learned about Austin Guinea Pig Rescue. This group is totally managed by volunteers. They have hearts full of love and compassion for those who have no voice. Their goal is to save, rehabilitate, and tame sick, injured, abandoned, or discarded guinea pigs that come to local shelters. They are working so hard to get guinea pigs into better shape and find them a new home. I appreciated all the information, education, and advice I received that helped me take care of my little boy. Thank you for everything!
I was amazed at how much effort and care go into taking care of these small animals, and I decided to become a volunteer myself.
