escue organization are designed to save animals from being euthanized. Many are volunteer organizations which have little funding and less support or publicity. Many of the "organizations" are, in fact, a single individual. Most volunteers are pet owners or breeders who have such an affection for the animal specie(s) that they cannot allow any to be killed needlessly. Many also try to create some means of educating the public in proper pet care and responsibilities.On this page I have listed the cavy rescuers that I know of. At the House Rabbit Society's page is a list of rabbit rescues. Visit them, or contact any of the groups below; they may help you (yes you!) get the idea that you could be a rescuer too. But recognize that this is, unfortunately, a thankless job. The hours are long, the pay is terrible and your only reward is when you get a piggie kiss from one of the little ones that you've saved.

The young pup playfully nipped at the older one. "Look! Something wonderful is happening!" The older dog stood up and barked, "Quickly. Get over to the path."
"That's not my owner," whined the pup, but he did as he was told.
Thousands of pets surged forward as a figure in white walked on the path toward the bridge. As the glowing figure passed each animal, that animal bowed it's head in love and respect. The figure finally approached the bridge, and was met by a menagerie of joyous animals. Together, they all walked over the bridge and disappeared.
The young pup was still in awe. "Was that an angel?" he whispered.
"No, son." The older dog replied. "That was more than an angel. That was a person who worked rescue."

I hope that by use of these adoption materials, more people may help unwanted and abandoned, homeless guinea pigs find permanent, loving, humane homes through responsible rescue and adoption.
