ABOUT US
Furry Friends Guinea Pig Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization that was formed in order to save helpless guinea pigs, primarily from shelters where they may be euthanized, and find them loving forever homes. The rescue also works to educate the public on guinea pigs and promote larger cages and the highest level of care.
BACKGROUND
After adopting 6 guinea pigs from a New Jersey guinea pig rescue, Grace Spring recognized the growing guinea pig overpopulation problem and the dire need for more rescues. When Grace, who was 14 years old at the time and a freshman in high school, convinced her parents to let her start a guinea pig rescue, she began making preparations, planning, and saving money. She built several cubes and coroplast cages in the basement, where the rescue would be located, and started buying supplies. Grace received support in starting her rescue from Glenolden Animal Hospital and Back to Nature Feed Store.When all preparations were finished, including starting a website on Petfinder and making adoption applications and contracts, Grace and her family went to the Delaware County SPCA to rescue three female guinea pigs. Furry Friends Guinea Pig Rescue was started on December 9, 2005!
Since its start, FFGPR has grown from housing 3 guinea pigs to an average of 30! Many more cages were built to accommodate all of the cavies. The rescue continues to take in guinea pigs from local SPCAs where they are in danger of being euthanized and from private owners who can no longer care for them.
