More information about ACS (Australian Cavy Sanctuary)

ACS is dedicated to guinea pigs only. ACS is a non profit and non funded combined effort by dedicated individuals across Australia who are truly passionate about the welfare and awareness of guinea pigs. All of our current adoptables are listed on our website. All members of ACS have had years of hands on experience working with guinea pigs and have a wealth of knowledge from general care to medical/health and genetics. We also are supported in conjunction by the help and advice of the best known small animal vets local to our shelters when need be. As well as the sanctuary guinea pigs we also have our own guinea pigs that we care for. We accept any ill, injured and found guinea pigs that people from the public may wish to bring in. We do not accept unwanted pets unless rehoming has been tried for some time by the owner and has had no success. Though we would rather see a guinea pig be handed in to one of the shelters than handed in to a petshop. If you wish to make an appointment to surrender a guinea pig please feel free to phone any of the shelters. We also accept ANONYMOUS PHONE CALLS from anyone that wishes to REPORT a possible guinea pig mistreatment case. We will take steps to try to resolve the case ourselves first then can work with the RSPCA and DPI on the case in more serious circumstances. Please feel free to call us even if unsure if the case is serious enough as we are more than willing to check it out. We accept guinea pigs from interstate where there is no rescue located in your state to bring guinea pigs to. This option will not always be available although if we have the funds, then at the time we will pay for all flight expenses and carry cage costs. For mistreated guinea pigs that would otherwise be put to sleep this option is always available to them. Every guinea pig deserves a chance at a happy life and a lot of the time severely mistreated guinea pigs have nowhere to be placed where they can have monitored treatment and this is why this option has been made available. We are dedicated to the ongoing challenge of taking a stand for the quality of life, value and respect of all guinea pigs and to be the voice for those that are unfortunately trapped in helpless situations of abuse and mistreatment. In modern society today guinea pigs are still very undervalued and can still be viewed as " the cheap backyard disposable pet " or " child's play toy " by many and it's time to take a bigger stand to try to change this. It is unfortunate that only very few people are willing to take this stand as guinea pigs have had a very public and particular low valued " view " for years. We are dedicated to the ongoing challenge to change this. When given a chance to shine a guinea pig will warm the heart and the soul for life...
