You can check ads for people rehoming or check your local rescue and shelter. If they don't have one right now tell them to call you when one comes in. You might have to be patient.

If you're looking for something specific it might take a while. Keep checking craigslist, local rescues and local shelters.

Have you checked Petfinder? You can look for adoptable guinea pigs in your area and you might be able to find a Peruvian. Why do you need a Peruvian in particular?

May I ask how old your daughter is? You do know that guinea pigs aren't toys nor are they to be given as presents, but that they are living, breathing animals who have needs and wants and feelings all their own, right? And that children cannot meet these needs and wants?

Read THIS and THIS before you answer.

I was to have them down south america.

What do you mean? Can you clarify?

for petfinder is just in the US :-(

How was I supposed to know if you lived in the US or not? Where does it say you live elsewhere? So yelling at me for not knowing your location is rather uncalled-for.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

You are most welcome. :silly:

You still didn't answer the question. How old is your daughter?

Can you tell me about the care you provide for your guinea pigs? I'm just curious. You say it's "no trouble at all" but it is if you're providing substandard care. As a newbie (welcome, by the way!), I don't know if you're familiar with proper care or not.

Um...am I missing something? Some of the comments here seem rather aggressive... I live in Canada too, haven't seen any peruvians anywhere! I'm sure they're around, but I guess they don't come up for adoption much. Good luck with finding one. I think they're adorable.
