Meet Elf! Despite his name, Elf is actually a very big boy! When we first met him we were concerned that it was a pregant female. We took him to the vet and he's definitely a boy and definitely not pregnant! We think his chubbiness is adorable and just gives you more to cuddle! He is a very friendly and affectionate boy, he enjoys being pet and held and will run up to the corner of the cage and stand up on his hind legs to greet you (and ask if you brought him any lettuce or veggies of course!) We have not found a fruit or veggie that he does not love! He squeaks with delight when he sees you and runs up to the front of the pen. We love Elf and we know you will too!

Elf saw our vet for a wellness visit and got a clean bill of health and had a nail trim. 

Guinea pigs have wonderful personalities- they are gentle and we have yet to come across any who bite, and they keep a daytime schedule! They form close bonds with their people, similar to cats and dogs. Did you know they are able to recognize people based on scent, sound and sight?! These sweet animals make wonderful pets!

This website is updated daily.  If the animal you are interested in adopting is listed as "available for adoption", that means the animal is still in DPR's care. 


*Please note - we do not do on-site meet and greets. Potential adopters can speak to the guinea pig's foster mom on the phone or do a meeting on Zoom or Facetime if desired to virtually meet the guinea pig. You can pick your guinea pig up "curb side". Guinea pigs can be returned with a full refund for up to one week. *

We are an all-volunteer 501(c)3 charity. The adoption fee helps to offset our standard and non-standard vet bills.
