Our Foster Program

Become a Foster Hero for Small Animals in Need

Opening your heart and home to a foster animal is an incredibly rewarding experience. At Serenity Guinea Pig and Friends Rescue, our foster families play a vital role in providing temporary care, love, and socialization to small animals awaiting their forever homes. Whether you have experience with guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, or other small critters, your compassion and dedication can make a world of difference.
