QLD Guinea Pig Refuge

QLD Guinea Pig Refuge QLD Guinea Pig Refuge is a not for profit organisation, dedicated to helping mistreated, abused and no longer wanted guinea pigs in need.

We don't have an actual shelter. All our guinea pigs live on foster carer throughout Brisbane. We hire out the local Scout Den on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month to hold our Open Days

If you are looking to adopt, you must fill out an adoption form 48 hours before Open Day.

Our promise to our pigs:

As long as you're with me you won't know fear, you won't have to worry where your next meal comes from, and you won't need to fear humans again. When you're with me, you're safe, loved, fed, and cared for. Enjoy your new life, little one ❤

We've seen all sorts of piggies at the piggy parlour.

And it's pretty normal for them to be a bit squirmy during nail trims, or to give us a little nibble.

But at our last open day, we met a pig who was loving the opportunity to just lay back and relax. ✨💅

A true pampering experience!

(And yes, they did a great job at nail trim time and got a delicious parsley reward)

About Us

Qld Guinea Pig Refuge (QGPR) is a not-for-profit community services organisation dedicated to supporting, rescuing, and finding homes for lost, abandoned, unwanted and mistreated guinea pigs in Queensland. QGPR is 100% volunteer and donations based, having an extraordinary and hard working team of volunteers, foster carers and other behind the scenes helpers. All these wonderful people donate their time and money to QGPR and are the back bone of this organisation.

QGPR has a NO EUTHANASIA policy. This policy extends to all guinea pigs, unless their medical conditions are so severe that treatment is not possible and there is no other option. We will always put 100% into the treatment and care of our guinea pigs in order to get them back to the best of health. QGPR will take any ill, injured, unwanted or found guinea pigs from the public. These guinea pigs will be treated and/or fostered, and then re-homed under strict adoption procedures. In extreme cases, QGPR may accept cases from interstate where another supported rescue cannot help. We believe that every guinea pig deserves their voice to be heard and to be given a chance, and we will listen to any requests for help.

Our refuge is Brisbane based; however we have foster carers and volunteers spread across various areas of Queensland.
