Piggies Paradise
Southwest Iowa's largest licensed, 501(c)(3) guinea pig rescue
Our Mission
Our mission at Piggies Paradise is to provide a safety net for displaced guinea pigs and provide them a safe place until adoption. We also educate the community about their well-being and how to properly take care of guinea pigs.
Piggies Paradise strives to save as many lives as we can. We want to educate people on correct care and requirements, encourage people to adopt
from a shelter/rescue instead of adotping from a pet store, and be there for any and all guinea pig owners even if they didn't adopt from us.
Many people think that pet stores give out accurate info when adopting an animal from them. Afterall, they do sell them and specialize in them so they
would know what they are talking about right? Unfortunatley that's wrong. We have heard many stories from people who have adopted from a pet store who sold them
a sick or incorrectly sexed guinea pig. These mistakes lead to unwanted pregnancies or piggies dying unexpectedly resulting in confusion. We are here to help you
even if you adopt elsewhere! Pet stores also tend to sell the wrong kind of cage or recommend the wrong size of cage. People just slap a photo of a guinea pig on
their product not checking the cage requirements for guinea pigs. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
