So sorry but this is not what this service is for. If you want to surrender a guinea pig you need to contact your local Petco store. They may or may not accept him. I don't know what their policy is on that. You can also try to contact the local humane society as they often accept them. You may also want to contact one of these rescues to see if they can help you.
