🎉✨ Happy 4th Anniversary to Us! ✨🎉
Four years ago today, we embarked on this incredible journey of rescuing hamsters, and it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. It all started with one wild case: a Craigslist breeder with over 60 hamsters—and somehow we convinced him to hand them all over, free of charge! 🙌 From that day on, we’ve been driven by the same passion and dedication to making a difference in the lives of hamsters.
Last year, we made a major change, going from Tiny Tracks Rescue to Snow White’s Rescue Cottage. 🏠 This new identity reflects the enchanted, safe space we strive to create for every hamster that comes through our doors. And this year, we achieved a *huge* milestone by officially obtaining our 501c3 nonprofit status—with that name! 🎉
Over these 4 years, we’ve rescued over 600 hamsters, not even counting the hundreds more whose lives have been touched by our Pet Retention Program, helping families keep their beloved hamsters through education and free resources. 💛 This program has been one of the cornerstones of our mission to ensure that hamsters can stay in loving homes whenever possible.
We’ve also had so many impactful rescue cases along the way—hamsters saved from hoarding situations, from euthanasia at shelters, or just those in need of a second chance. Each one has taught us more and allowed us to build up to the capacity we have today. With a capacity of 200, we’re proud to say that we are now the largest hamster-specific rescue in the US! 🐹✨
But we’re not stopping here! Our next big goal is to expand into an auxiliary space. This will allow us to welcome volunteers, accommodate more adoptions, and offer larger and better caging setups for the animals in our care. The future looks bright, and we couldn’t have done any of this without your support! 💕🐾
Here’s to the past four years, and to many more lives saved and lives changed. Thank you for being a part of this incredible

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💖 Because of your generous donations, we’ve surpassed our goal for Chompski’s care, allowing us to do more for her than we initially hoped! 🙌 This little senior robo may have some challenges with neurological circling, but she’s already learning where her food, water, and nest are. She even had a little snack last night and took some time to rest! 🧡 It’s hard for her, but we’re making sure she’s as comfortable as possible while we wait for her vet appointment in just a few short days. We’ll keep you updated as we go along!
Your kindness means everything to Chompski and to us. Every dollar truly makes a difference! ✨ #snowwhitesrescuecottage #swrc #thankyou #hamsterrescue #dwarfhamster #chompski #neurocircling #specialneeds #roborovski #rescuehamster #animalrescue #smallanimalrescue
