April Lodge Guinea Pig Rescue was established in 2004 and we have cared for over 2000 unwanted guinea pigs. We’re proud to say that over 1500 of these went on to be adopted and over 100 went into foster care. We endeavour to find our guinea pigs kind, loving, permanent homes following a poor start in life.
