About Us

We are committed to serving the Guinea Pigs of Alaska. We provide free knowledge to the public on how to care for your guinea pigs, a safe haven to surrendered or abandoned guinea pigs, and do our due diligence to find them a place to call home.

 

We often educate others on the behavior, health, and diet of guinea pigs in our community. Our goal is to reach Alaskans everywhere and show them how amazing these creatures can be, and stop their mistreatment the best we can.
