Hi! So unfortunately I've come to realize that I'm not ready to take on the responsibility of keeping my pet guinea pig :( is there anywhere I can take her to ensure she is left in good hands?

I am sorry that you cannot keep Ashley. You might start by calling the local animal shelter or animal rescue groups. If they do not take guinea pigs, you can ask them if they have any other groups that they can recommend to you. I found one that looks like it may be out of Lewisville, Texas. http://www.theguineapigrescue.com/surrendering
