Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- In our first year, PeanutButterPigs Guinea Pig Rescue officially began our service of rescuing, rehabilitating & finding homes for guinea pigs that have been abandoned or surrendered. Our Rescue accepted 44 guinea pigs in 2024. After getting them treatment to ensure their health and socializing them to be ready for their families, our rescue successfully adopted out 36! With three staying with our rescue as sanctuary animals, two going into the care of our foster & three entering 2025 still looking for forever homes. Our rescue took in two extreme medical cases in 2024. We successfully provided both the medical care they needed, with Dolly's life-threatening tumor being removed successfully and being placed in her forever home & Oreo getting the diagnosis he needed to begin the journey of his treatment.
- In 2025, our rescue has adopted out 68 guinea pigs to loving forever homes. We took in one hoarding case in our community of over 30 guinea pigs, accepted guinea pigs from local shelters who were unable to properly care for the species, took in several rescue cases of guinea pigs that were found abandoned in dumpsters or parks and brought them back to health and helped educate adopters on not only how to care for a guinea pig but how to prepare them for long term care for the newest member of their family.
