Like Guinea Pig Fun's Jasmine, Charlie is a rescued guinea pig. Nothing is known of his background or why he was surrendered to a shelter. He spent about two months at the shelter before an urgent plea went out seeking adopters and rescuers. The shelter was overloaded and overwhelmed by the guinea pigs that they had in residence and they all needed to be placed immediately. Please see The Rescue section for more information about Charlie's actual rescue.

Charlie's website focuses on him as he continues his healing process and acclimates to his new home and caretaker. Like Jasmine's website, it is also a tribute to him and a symbol of hope to all of the other critters who have suffered or still suffer from the effects of abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment.
