We have created this space as a place you can share stories and photos of your guinea pig(s), in honor or remembrance of them, while contributing to the care of other guinea pigs at the Rescue.
Our rescue is a non-profit organization with an unpaid, all-volunteer staff, and 100% of your donation helps the guinea pigs. Your gift of any amount will be used to rehabilitate rescued guinea pigs and to feed, house and care for them. Your PayPal receipt is your tax deduction receipt, or you may request a receipt from us. Please remember to email a short tribute and photo, if desired, of the guinea pig(s) you would like us to honor or remember on this page.
My Sweet Teddy Bear Hamster, Bugsy, Passed away Monday while laying on my chest. This is in his honor. There are no words to express what he meant to me. He lived to 37 months approximately, and yet, it was still not long enough.

Memorial for Wasabi, Ginger, and Kate. For three of the most beautiful, happiest, and sweetest piggies anyone could ask for. You were loved by everyone from our 120lb Weimeriener, Mr. Daddy, and everyone else who met to. You are sorely missed. You left this world much too soon, through no fault of your own, rather, the greed of humans. I hope you all felt the love we had for you. You taught us the smallest heart is capable of joy, love and happiness.. Always in our hearts….and we’l continue to fight for your brothers and sisters so they can avoid suffering.

In memory of beloved James. Please use this gift for whichever piggy has the greatest needs. Thank you.
“Timmy had the BEST spirit! He had probable disk issues in his back, and his whole hind end was twisted under and around. The pain must have been excruciating (even with his regular pain meds). We liked his distinguished white moustache, and he always had a great attitude for everyone, even on his worst days, when we would lay him on a soft towel and pet his head for a long time to comfort him. This guy was a great joy, and our time fostering him was humbling and a blessing. We all miss him terribly!”

Your work at the Rescue is so important and has made a lasting impression on my heart. Thank you again for everything.”

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
