Many of our rescues are here a long time before we can find them the right home. So long, in fact, that they often then become "too old" to adopt. Most people want younger pets.

OUR EXPECTATIONS
We would like our fostercarers to live within a 25 mile radius of April Lodge in Sandwich and ideally be reasonably knowledgeable with guinea pigs. We would expect the guinea pigs to live indoors, in the warm, where there is lots of interaction and they can be given medication/treatment. We hope our Fostercarers would be able to provide accommodation, a suitable exercise area, bedding, veg, fruit, dry feed and equipment.
In return, we provide full back up which includes free healthcare and veterinary care for the rest of their lives, an email helpline and an "after hours" emergency phone number.
Our Guinea Pigs which go to live in long term fostercare need to be comfortable, with lots of TLC....after all, this is the last stop.
Please contact us if you think you can help.
