Tuna’s Guinea Pig Rescue is run by our founders:

Gertie McQuillan:  Gertie fell in love with Guinea Pigs at a young age and decided to begin fostering when she moved to Virginia. During the day, she designs curriculum and manages trainers for a web hosting company.

Ken Gaffney:  Ken never had pets as a child but became invested in piggies when the couple adopted their first. He is known as the “veggie man” of the house and the piggies always know when he is coming!

The couple live in Virginia and are “parents” to seven females: Tuna, Pudge, Peanut, Cruella, Houdini, Mim and Henley.
