Bosco Cavy Rescue Adoption Application


Bosco Cavy Rescue Adoption Application
By completing this application, you acknowledge that the guinea pigs available are from unknown sources and health is not guaranteed. Immediate health issues are confronted by the Rescue, but after adoption all health requirements are the sole responsibility of the owner. All males are neutered before adoption, resulting in an adoption fee of $10-20. Additional donations are welcome, but are not tax-deductible as we are in the process of applying for nonprofit 501© 3 status (as of 2-11-2011).
All pets require adequate care specific to their species. Guinea pigs require companions, a place to hide, fresh water, hay, Vitamin C supplements, a clean cage, exercise, and species-specific food pellets. They also require daily interaction and attention. Finally, they require a yearly veterinary exam in addition to medical intervention for health issues.
