The following information is provided for those looking to give guinea pigs a loving home and to promote adoption from rehoming/rescue centres throughout the UK instead of buying from pet shops or breeders.
It is worth remembering before taking on an animal that the RSPCA and Scottish SPCA are opposed to the keeping of animals by those who do not have the time, facilities, financial means or level of interest necessary to ensure a satisfactory standard of care for their animal.
The following list gives the contact details on individual centres and links to their websites to make your search a little easier.
These centres are all up-to-date and most have many guinea pigs looking for a loving, long-term home. Other guinea pig rescue/adoption organisations can be included if they wish.
Vet information and recommendations were also provided and included in the separate thread on UK veterinary information.
