Yes, its risky, but a lot "less" risky if you have a vet that is familiar with cavies. The cost can range from $60 to $120 depending upon the vet and region. Very observant follow up care is a must to make sure the surgery site doesn't abcess.
Yay for adopting! ;)
YES! Here are some websites that you can check out:

Sorry, this kind of a short list, but this was all that I could find! Also, I am not sure how much it cost to neuter a guinea pig. Sorry!
I hope that this helps! Thanks, and good luck!
Oh ya, thank you so much for adopting from an animal shelter! That's where I got my guinea pig ToTo from! Thanks, and GOOD LUCK!
Congrats on possibly adopting! I don't know where in NY you are but I'm enclosing a link from Guinealynx.info that lists recommended vets in each state. Hopefully one is close to you.
There is also lots of info about neutering on that site.
if getting a guinea pig, please get 2 to begin with as they are social animals needing company from their own kind. Great to adopt - why not adopt 2 boys or 2 girls - no neutering costs then!!
