Cavy Acres Guinea Pig Adoption Policy

I will provide the animal clean water, high-quality food, adequate shelter, and kind treatment at all times.

I will take the animal to a veterinarian for examinations and immunizations as needed, and to procure immediate veterinary care at my own expense should the animal become ill or injured.

I will not allow the animal to be used for medical or experimental purposes.

Refund: No refunds. Cavy Acres will take back any animal that an adopter can no longer take care of no refunds will be made.

General Release: I acknowledge that live animals are unpredictable and that Cavy Acres, its past, current, and future board members, fosters, volunteers, agents, donors, and any partners, associates, attorneys, and any other related people or entities (collectively, “released parties”) cannot and have not guaranteed the health, age, temperament, breed, behavior, training, or any other condition or characteristic of the animal. I understand that the animal may over time exhibit traits that may or may not be apparent at adoption and that none of the released parties can or has guaranteed anything about the animal’s breed. I release each and all of the released parties from all claims or liability relating to any alleged erroneous statements about the animal and all other claims or liability related in any way to the animal once s/he is in my possession. I agree to indemnify the released parties for any liability or claims relating in any way to the animal and arising from events at or after the time s/he enters my possession.

If at any time I can no longer care for the animal and need to rehome the above listed guinea pig, I will contact Cavy Acres to assist with rehoming or surrender the guinea pig back to Cavy Acres for rehoming.

I understand that guinea pigs are herd animals and that it is recommended that I have a minimum of two at any one time unless behavioral issues prevent this.
