Building Fund – Raised to Date: $1,421.00
Dear Friends of Texas Rustlers,
When Tony and Julia Hinrichs founded Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue in 2001, they began the organization in their home with aspirations of one day moving the operation into a separate building equipped with meeting areas, warehouse space, and room to house the many guinea pigs the rescue cares for under one roof. For the past eight years it has been simply a dream. Now it has become a vital necessity in order to keep the rescue alive.
Recently, after eight months of doctor visits and numerous tests, Tony was diagnosed with amalignant pancreatic endocrine tumor. He pursued treatment and surgery, and is now in a long recuperative process. The guinea pig rescue cannot continue to operate in Tony and Julia’s home, as they simply cannot do it alone, and need your help.
Volunteers have taken in additional foster animals, but we have stopped taking in new guinea pig surrenders until we are through this tough time. Although this has helped, it is not a long term solution, as animals need to be at the rescue in order to be adopted. Because of this need, we have searched for a commercial property in which all the animals can live, where we can conduct adoptions and sell supplies, and our wonderful staff of volunteers can maintain a positive atmosphere in order to continue our mission. We have found that place, and we are now asking for your help to help maintain it.
Would you be willing to commit to a monthly tax-deductible donation in order for us to maintain a lease and operate from the new facility? If all our supporters, from regular supplies customers to Hoedown attendees, gave just a few dollars a month, we would be able to fulfill not only Tony and Julia’s dreams, but the dreams of all our dedicated volunteers. Our fundraising goal for the first year is $2,000 per month. If we do not meet our fundraising goal, we are fearful we will have to cease operations, including the sale of supplies. We want to continue that, and want to begin again taking in additional guinea pigs.
Although the amount may seem like a lot, if just 100 patrons donate just $20 each per month, our goal will be met! Alternatively, since times are tough for many, a one-time donation is also welcome, and a mail-in Monthly Commitment Form or PayPal button is provided above for your convenience. We have continued our operations during the shortfalls of the current recession without hesitation, but the time has come to ask for help.
If you would like to set up a monthly donation for 12 months please use “Subscribe” button; otherwise, use “Donate” button for other donation options; or mail in our Monthly Commitment Form.Thank you for your help and kind consideration!
Adopting a Guinea Pig?
PLEASE REMEMBER: All adopters need an approved application on file andmust schedule an appointment. The reason: we need to be sure the guinea pigs you want to meet are at our new rescue location when you come, not out at their foster homes, and that we have enough adoption volunteers available to serve you. Thank you!

Thank you for your interest in Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue!
Please consider giving our rescued guinea pigs a second chance at a permanent, loving home
by not purchasing from a pet store or breeder (that may care more for profit, not the piggies)!

“Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.” – quote from his holiness the Dalai Lama
Did you know? Quite often, people think that rescued piggies have been horribly neglected or abused. This is unfortunately true some of the time, but most guinea pigs at Texas Rustlers are given up due to children tiring of them, and they are perfectly healthy and well adjusted. In fact, our piggies are given attention by a qualified guinea pig veterinarian when needed, and are under the watchful care of Rescue volunteers, who feed them optimum diets which were often lacking in their former homes. Rescued piggies may be shy at first until they get used to their new, loving owners, but be assured they are well taken care of as they wait for their permanent homes.
Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue
Supporting the Cause!
1,700+ guinea pigs have already been rescued and cared for through Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue, many of which sadly would have been dumped, euthanized, experimented on in laboratories, or used as snake food. Instead, we choose to save them. But we cannot operate without your generous donations. We are an UNPAID, all-volunteer staff, and a Texas non-profit organization, so 100% of your tax-deductible donation helps the guinea pigs!
How Can My Donation Help?
Your $5 donation provides a Pigloo home in which a guinea pig may sleep and feel secure.
Your $10 donation provides fresh aspen bedding for three pairs of guinea pigs.
Your $15 donation provides 24 piggies with nutritious Romaine lettuce for a week.
Your $20 donation provides morning tomatoes for 7 guinea pigs for a month.
Your $35 donation provides ALL the Rescue piggies with Timothy hay for two days!
Your $50 donation provides a thorough health exam by an experienced guinea pig veterinarian.
