Every year, thousands of unwanted guinea pigs are dropped off at humane societies, animal shelters, and rescue organizations like ours worldwide. Often, these pets are abandoned to rescue organizations because people purchase the animal without first considering the involvement needed to care for them. But as with all pets, behind the unwavering loyalty, cuddly disposition, and individual personality of each guinea pig is an animal wholly reliant on his human owner for food, shelter, protection, and companionship. The goal of Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue is two-fold: to educate the public on the uniqueness and proper care of these treasured family members and help rescue and "rehome" the many abandoned guinea pigs right here in Georgia. Our web site contains information on proper care and links to our adoptable guinea pigs. We also love to help and give advice to families just starting with guinea pigs.
