NORCAL 700 Foster Family Registration
Hi everyone, thank you for your interest in fostering for Piggie Poo. LA Guinea Pig Rescue took in more than 700 guinea pigs from a local hoarding case in October. Since Piggie Poo temporarily closed our public facility in September, we are reaching out to our community in search of qualified foster families to help us help our sister group manage this horrible situation. Please fill out this form if you are interested in fostering guinea pigs for Piggie Poo Rescue. Our first intake of 42 pregnant guinea pigs was 11/10/17, and we expect about 100 babies to be born over the next month and we truly need your assistance managing this crisis. Thank you for your support!
