More about Sandy

Meet Sandy 💕

Guinea Pig | Sanctuary Resident | Sponsorship Available 💚

Hello, I’m Sandy. I’m a friendly guinea pig who first came to Keki’s Guinea Pig & Rabbit Rescue in April 2025 when my owners were sadly no longer able to keep me after downsizing their home.

I was quickly rehomed and settled into my new life. Sadly, I returned to the rescue in April 2026 after losing my cage mate. When I came back, I needed a little extra care and attention, and it was decided that, due to my age and circumstances, I would remain here in the sanctuary where I can enjoy a safe, comfortable retirement.

I’m a lovely, friendly girl who always comes over to the shed when it’s time for vegetables. These days, I’m enjoying life with my sanctuary friends and receiving all the care I need.

Why I Need Sponsorship 🐾

As an older guinea pig, I benefit from ongoing care, monitoring, and a stable environment where my needs can be met as I enjoy my retirement years. Sponsorship helps the rescue cover the costs of:

Daily food, hay, and fresh vegetables
Comfortable bedding and enrichment
Regular health checks and monitoring
Ongoing care and support as I grow older

Your support helps ensure I can continue to live a happy, safe, and comfortable life here at the sanctuary.

What It Means to Sponsor Me 💚

By sponsoring me, you’re helping to provide my long-term care and daily needs. Sponsorship is a wonderful way to support a guinea pig who deserves a loving retirement and the very best care.

You can sponsor me for just £5 per month, and every penny goes directly towards my care and the running of the rescue.

What’s Included in Sponsorship 🎁

As my sponsor, you’ll receive:

A sponsorship certificate
Regular updates about how I’m doing
The opportunity to visit me and my sanctuary friends twice a year (by arrangement)
The knowledge that you’re making a real difference to helping me stay comfortable and well cared for

Sponsor Sandy 🐹

If you’d like to help support my care, you can sponsor me by completing the form below or getting in touch with the rescue team.

Thank you for helping to keep me safe and loved 💕 Sandy

How it works?

At Keki’s Guinea Pig & Rabbit Rescue, we strive to make the adoption process as smooth and transparent as possible. Here’s a summary of our step-by-step guide to help you understand how our adoption and rescue process works:

Step 1: Browse Our Animals
Explore the available small animals on our adoption pages to find the perfect companion. Please check our requirements for suitable accommodation – which are included in the adoption profile of all our pets.
Step 2: Submit Application
Fill out our online adoption form or contact our team directly. Please provide details about your home, experience, and confirm that you have read our accommodation requirements.
Step 3: Application Review
A member of our team will review your application and aim to respond within 24–48 hours to discuss next steps and provide any advice if needed. Please note that applications can only proceed once suitable accommodation is in place.
Step 4: Home Visit
A member of our team will arrange a home visit to check accommodation and answer any questions. There is a one-off, non-refundable fee of £10 for the home visit.
Step 5: Reserve Your New Pet
Once your home check is successfully completed, a reservation fee per animal is required. This will be deducted from the final adoption fee.
Step 6: Meet Your New Pet
We will arrange a meeting with your chosen small animal, either at the rescue or at the foster home. This allows you to see their personality and ensure a good match.
Step 7: Adoption Day!
If you are happy to proceed, your new furry friend can come home once the final adoption fee is paid.
Step 8: Ongoing Support
We provide advice and guidance for the lifetime of your pet. Our team is always available to answer questions and provide support after adoption.
