LONG TERM FOSTER CARE - enquiries to aprillodgeguinea@aol.com We sometimes have guinea pigs here that are not suitable for adoption. These often go on long-term foster-care. They are quite well but would benefit from more one-to-one care. They are often part of a bonded pair. We would in this event allow them both to go on long term foster-care. Any guinea pigs that are on complicated medication or treatment stay with us. Because we have an ever-growing list of guinea pigs waiting to come here, we are hoping we can free up some spaces by offering these guinea pigs long-term foster care. Anyone willing to participate in this scheme would receive full back-up from us and can return the guinea pigs at any time, if the need arises. The guinea pigs available for long-term foster care are
the following:

LODGE GUINEA PIG RESCUE LONG-TERM FOSTERING INFO/ AGREEMENT/DECLARATION Foster-carers must live within a
20mile radius of the rescue centre. Our guinea pigs who go to live
in long-term foster-care are not suitable for normal re-homing/adoption
because they are either aged, have an ongoing medical condition, have
been known to bite or they have a combination of problems. Most of our foster-carers are
able to provide accommodation, equipment, dry feed, bedding, hay and
fresh veg and fruit. However, we can provide these items if necessary
apart from the veg/fruit. With regard to healthcare, you
are still invited back here as normal for regular health-checking. If appropriate, we can at any
time take back the guinea pig. The foster-carer can contact us
at any time with regard to health care by phoning 01304 619152, mobs
07790 684888 or 07764 757 530 or 07712 627 017.

www.aprillodge.co.uk If the foster-carer feels that
the guinea pig needs veterinary care within normal working hours, you
need to return the guinea pig to us or we can collect. If you take the
guinea pig to a vet of your choice, you will be expected to pay the
bill. The guinea pig must not be euthenased without our consent. If the foster-carer feels that
the guinea pig needs veterinary care outside normal working hours, you
need to return him to us. If you take the guinea pig to a vet you will
be liable for the vet bill. Under no circumstances is the guinea pig to
be euthenased without our consent. This is to confirm I agree with
the above conditions. Name
