🌸🐹 Happy Mother’s Day from Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue 🐹🌸

Today, we’re celebrating all the wonderful moms out there, both human and guinea pig alike.

Over the past few weeks, with our large intakes from LaGrange and Cobb County, we’ve also welcomed a beautiful baby boom at OGPR. So far, 11 sweet little pups have been born, with one more mama getting very close to welcoming her pups into the world.

Watching these mama piggies care for their little ones has been truly heartwarming. Each one is gentle, devoted, and attentive, lovingly keeping their pups warm, fed, and safe. It’s a beautiful reminder that a mother’s love comes in many forms, and every one of these moms is doing an incredible job.

With the huge number of guinea pigs we’ve taken in this year, these new little arrivals certainly add to our growing census, but we are so grateful for our amazing foster team, who continue to step up in extraordinary ways.

A very special thank you to Lynne, Lisa, and Erin for providing such wonderful care, comfort, and love to these mamas and their pups. Your dedication makes all the difference. 💚

To every mom out there, thank you for all you do. We hope your day is filled with love, appreciation, and a little time to rest. 💙🐹💙🐹

🌷💕🐹Happy Mother’s Day! 🌷💕🐹

🎉💙🐹A happy rescue update from Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue 🐹💚🎉

This week, OGPR was contacted by a kind person who had spotted two guinea pigs loose in their apartment complex. We learned these little girls had been surviving outside for nearly three weeks before we were contacted.

Thanks to our incredible foster and volunteer Erin, hope quickly turned into action. On her way home from work, Erin stopped by the complex, quickly spotted both guinea pigs, and then spent more than two hours patiently and determinedly rescuing them all on her own. These little ladies were crafty, but Erin never gave up, and because of her dedication, both are now safely in our care.

What is truly amazing is that despite weeks outdoors and the strong rainstorms we have had, both sweet girls appear to be in remarkably good shape. They are now safe, warm, dry, and surrounded by love. Soon, they will be visiting our vet, and we are hopeful this is the beginning of a bright new chapter filled with comfort, care, and better days ahead.

Stories like this are only possible because of the extraordinary people who make up the Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue family. We are completely volunteer-run and supported by generous donors, fosters, and friends who believe every guinea pig deserves a chance.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this rescue possible. Also, a very special thank you to Erin for going above and beyond to save these two precious girls. Here is to brighter days ahead 💚🐹✨

Happy Adoption Day update from Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue 🐹💚

It has been a little quiet on our page lately because we have been busy caring for so many new intakes and babies, but we are so happy to share this special story.

Roady, who was found wandering in the roadway back in 2023, recently lost his buddy and needed a new friend. His wonderful family traveled all the way from Athens and placed their trust in OGPR to help find the perfect match. We are so grateful for families like theirs, whose love and commitment to their guinea pigs shines so brightly.

Roady met Leo, the bonding went beautifully, and now the two are back home together and settling into life as new best friends.

Thank you to Roady’s family for making the trip and for trusting OGPR to be part of this happy new chapter. Stories like this remind us why we do what we do 🐹✨💚

We had a wonderful time at the Inman Park Festival parade yesterday. This was the second year Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue has participated, and we are so grateful to everyone who came out to walk with us and help spread the word about guinea pig rescue. 🐹💚🐹

What made the day especially meaningful was how many people stopped us after the parade to share how much they admired our cause and how happy they were to learn that a guinea pig rescue exists in Georgia. Moments like that remind us why outreach matters so much.

Events like this put us in front of thousands of people, creating awareness, inspiring support, and sharing an important message: adopt, don’t shop!

Thank you for helping us make a big impact for the piggies. We are already looking forward to next year! 🎉🐾🐹🐹🎉💙

🌸🐣 Happy Easter from Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue! 🐣🌸

We’re so excited to celebrate a very special adoption this Easter, sweet Jupiter has found his forever home! 💛 Jupiter was one of the boys from the group of 28 rescued in LaGrange, and after being cleared by our vet from his ringworm watch last weekend, he was ready for his next chapter.

Even better, Jupiter has been successfully bonded with OGPR alumn Bowie! Bowie, who will be turning seven this year, recently lost his longtime buddy Noodles and had been feeling quite lonely. We’re so happy to share that the bonding went beautifully, and the two boys are already enjoying each other’s company. 🐹🐹

We are so excited Jupiter is now safe, loved, and part of such a wonderful family. Congratulations to Jupiter and Bowie, we couldn’t be happier for you both!

Wishing everyone a joyful and peaceful Easter! 🌷💐

🐹🍀Happy St. Patrick’s Day from all of us at Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue! ☘️🐹

Today, we’re feeling extra lucky to introduce Lord Fluffington, a very sweet little gentleman who recently came into our care. Sadly, Lord Fluffington was left behind when his family moved out of their apartment. Thankfully, he was found and brought to our friends at DeKalb County Animal Services and LifeLine Animal Project, who made sure he was safe until we could pick him up.

Despite everything he has been through, Lord Fluffington is a gentle and charming boy who already seems to be settling in nicely. He appears healthy, and we are hopeful that after a little time and care, he will be ready to find the loving forever home he truly deserves.

On this St. Patrick’s Day, we’re grateful for the partnerships and community that help little ones like Lord Fluffington get a second chance. We have a feeling that somewhere out there is the lucky family who will soon welcome this sweet boy into their hearts. ☘️💚

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Lord Fluffington and all the piggies at Oakhurst Guinea Pig Rescue! 🐹💚🐹🎉🐹
