Ready to Welcome a
Piggy into Your Family?

Thank you for considering adoption and giving one of our beautiful guinea pigs the chance to become a much-loved member of your family.

Before completing the application below, please take a moment to visit our ADOPTION INFORMATION page. It contains important information about our adoption process, requirements and what you’ll need to provide a happy,

healthy home for your new piggy.

Once you’ve had a read, please complete the Adoption Application Form below.

We know our application is quite detailed, but there’s a very good reason for that! Our highest priority is making sure every precious piggy in our care goes to a safe, loving and suitable forever home where they can truly thrive.

A little note before you begin:
As part of your application, you’ll be asked to upload a photo of the enclosure your guinea pig(s) will be living in, so it’s a good idea to have this ready before you start.

I agree that if, at any time, I can no longer keep or care for the guinea pig(s) I adopt from Miss Piggy’s Guinea Pig Lair, I will contact the Lair and return them rather than rehome, sell, give away or advertise them elsewhere.

I Agree
