Every donation helps us get closer to a space so we can say YES to more guinea pigs in need:
- rescue and house more
- adopt them into loving, informed families
- continued education on care
- Cavy club meetings, and more!

Let’s keep this going—together we can make this happen. 🐾

FUNDRAISER-Help us open our Adoption Center!
We’re raising $3,000 to secure a dedicated adoption & rescue center—a safe place where we can help MORE guinea pigs in need.

For years, Second Chance Cavy Rescue has been saving guinea pigs with the invaluable support of fosters. However, we get daily requests to take in more and just don't have the space or available fosters.

So we want to change that! If you’ve ever supported us, adopted from us, or simply love guinea pigs, we need your help right now.
💛 Donate if you can
💛 Share this post
💛 Help us make this dream a reality

Every share, every dollar, every bit of support brings us closer to opening our doors.

Tip of the Day-Allergies to guinea pigs or the hay? This is the number ONE reason for people rehoming guinea pigs! What I would suggest is BEFORE you adopt, take your whole family and spend a couple of hours handling guinea pigs and exposing yourself to the timothy hay they eat. If your child has pollen allergies , seasonal allergies or asthma, breathing issues, you may want to test it out before adopting guinea pigs. They have got to have hay, it is 80% of their essential diet.
