Our Story

Hi everyone! My name is Suzanne, and for the past 14 months I have been unofficially rescuing and rehabilitating guinea pigs, paying for their care and vet bills out of my own pocket.

A few months ago I decided that it’s time to make things official and came up with the idea for “Merry Guinea Pig Rescue”. Merry Rescue will be a not-for-profit organisation so any and all donated money will go toward nothing but getting the rescue established and helping more guinea pigs.

What We Need and What We Will Achieve

I am hoping to raise at least $2000 with this campaign.

The first $400 - $500 will be used to apply for an ABN, non-profit status and any other legal fees.

After that, I will be booking my first 4 rescues in to be de-sexed so they can finally be adopted out. This will cost around $600.

The rest of the money will be used for buying food, bedding, new enclosures, and paying for any other necessary vet bills. Many of the guinea pigs who come into my care have health issues and treatment is often necessary - especially in pregnant mothers!

The more money I can raise, the more I can do to help these sweet, gentle little creatures.

As we are a non-profit organisation, all of our "perks" are merely to give everyone an idea of where their donated amount might go. Perhaps at a later date we will be able to give out stickers and t-shirts!

Other Ways You Can Help

Even if you can’t donate to my cause, I would really appreciate you sharing my campaign with as many people as you possibly can!

If you would like to keep up to date and follow Merry Rescue as we grow, find us on Instagram and Facebook.

Thank you in advance!
