Our Story
Founded in 2009, the Guinea Pig Sanctuary began as a personal refuge for guinea pigs after a tragic accident changed Alexander's life. After enduring over 600 surgeries, Alexander found solace in caring for these gentle creatures. The sanctuary started in a sunroom, fostering close bonds with the guinea pigs. Despite facing a devastating fire in 2019, the sanctuary relocated to Salisbury, MA, in March 2020, continuing its mission to create a welcoming environment for guinea pigs and their community.
