Pictures Of Rescue Centres

[Cuddles With Cavies]

Hiya. I'm doing a project in college and am looking at the unwanted guinea pig crisis. I've done surveys and research and have some general statistic but I would really like to gather some pictures as viable evidence of the amount of cavies in rehoming centres. If anybody runs or volunteers for a centre, or knows somebody who does, I would really appreciate it if they could send me some pictures of their set ups.

Sorry if this doesn't belong here, I wasn't sure where else to put it.

Why not ring a few in your area and ask if you can pop in to take a few photos? I know many rescues are very busy so might not have the time to come on here regularly, or have access to photos to send

You could look on the rescue locator on here and ring some of them.

Its great that you are doing this to spread the word. If you contact your local rescue (possibly the potteries in Stoke on Trent?) l am sure they wouldn't mind you taking some photos

I don't know if you're just looking into English centers but I know from inquiring here that SPCA in Ireland gets very, very few piggies for rehoming. There is a craze going on here where unwanted animals are simply dumped, which is a terrifying thought when you think of how delicate these creatures are. I will say though, in my town, the local animal rescue services are pretty on the ball and manage to find and take in at least 99% of animals that are reported as dumped!
The public are a great help, reporting any animals they see straight away.
