Volunteering with Gardner's Pig Pen​​

​Help us save and care for guinea pigs in need by filling in the form with your contact information (if on a mobile device form is below)! Every extra set of hands makes a difference — from fostering to cage cleaning to transport. Whether you can help weekly or just once in a while, your time and compassion directly improve the lives of guinea pigs looking for a second chance.

​

Why Volunteer with Us?

Be part of a small, passionate rescue that changes lives every day. Learn about guinea pig care, handling, and enrichment. Meet other animal lovers in your community. Make a real impact — every hour you give helps us take in and care for more pigs.​​​

​​

Onsite Volunteering

Join us on scheduled cleaning days at the rescue to help keep everyone’s habitat fresh and healthy. You’ll also get to help with feeding—and of course, enjoy some snuggle time with the piggies!

​

​Fostering

Provide a temporary, loving home for guinea pigs until they find their forever families. We ask for a minimum commitment of one month. Before applying, please consider the responsibilities involved:

• Daily spot cleaning and full cage cleaning twice a week

• Spending time socializing and handling the guinea pigs

• Basic grooming when needed (such as nail trims)

• Ongoing health monitoring and, at times, administering medication

Fostering takes dedication, but it’s incredibly rewarding and directly saves lives. If you’re ready to open your home to foster guinea pigs, please complete our foster application.

Transport Volunteers

Help with pickups, vet visits, or adoption drop-offs. If you have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, you can make a big impact!​
