Critter Corral GPR

Founded in 1998, we have taken in over 4,000 homeless, unwanted Guinea Pigs. We are the only state licensed Guinea Pig Rescue in the state of Illinois.

Good evening! We hope everyone has faired okay after the storms we had. We’re safe and sound but without power. We’re thankful that’s the worst of it for us as we’re about 3 miles from where the tornado hit in Merrillville. Please send them positive thoughts! 🙂

We took 22 guinea pigs from someone who decided to breed to sell to pet shops but the pet shops are full. Unfortunately there was 1 male in with all the girls so we’ll be on pregnancy watch for a while.
Your donations help us help situations like these. Thank you! ��🤍🩶🖤🤎

Today another box left at Home Depot. A friend of the rescue messaged our founder and of course we took them in. It's a male and female so we're anticipating babies...

Thankful nature called and a trucker pulled over. He saw something moving in the grass and there were 4 guinea pigs that he and his wife were able to catch! They looked around and didn't see any others. These are all girls. We’ll wait a bit to make sure there are no surprises.

…Thank you for your help in finding me a good fit! She’s the best little lap snuggler and I’ve attached some of my favorite pics❤️.”

(Yes, Queen was adopted out as a solo pig after many attempts at finding her a cage mate, even neutered males, but she just wasn’t having it.)

Rescue work is hard. Notes like this keeps us going:
"Just wanted to say hello and tell you how sweet and wonderful our little Doofy is. I adopted her from you in November last year under the name Queen. She was very shy at first but has come out of her shell quite well…. 1/2

We are so thankful! Our founder has been receiving so many kind donations for food, hay, orchard grass and bedding. We so greatly appreciate each and every one of you - thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Theo is a nice guy that came to us from our friends at @AntiCruelty. He’s a bit squirmy when you picked up but settles down pretty quickly. We’ re unsure how he’d do with other guinea pigs.

Mocha was adopted recently to live with a new sister! A huge thank you to Traci our wonderful adoption volunteer who helped and everyone’s patience as we had to wait after that storm we had a few weeks ago. Congrats to everyone! 🧡

Beautiful Pibby was lucky to find a new home where not only will she be spoiled but she has a neutered boyfriend that she will be meeting soon. (Pibby came in looking for a new friend because her previous friend had passed away.) Our hearts are happy!

[Critter Corral GPR @Critter_Corral]

A sweet adopter decided to open her home to these 3 handsome fellas! Congratulations to William, Henry, and Charlie for finding a home together!
