A Pint-Sized Rescue

11/03/2024

Have you ever considered serving a role as a board member on a board of directors? A Pint-Sized Rescue is looking for two additional team members to serve on the board. And the best part, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LOCAL.

What does a board of directors do? In short, the board of directors are responsible for overseeing the activities of the rescue. We are constantly aiming to fulfill our mission statement and the board ensures we implement our business and strategies in the best way possible for ALL parties involved. A strong board is made up of people who will challenge each other to see new/alternative ways of addressing a situation that will help ensure the mission of the rescue. The board also creates events to generate community involvement, adoptions, fundraising, education, and more. Does any of this sound like you?

We are actively seeking two individuals to take on the positions of Secretary and Treasurer. Additionally, these will be voting positions, so your viewpoints matter. Board meetings will be hosted once a month via video conferencing (or in person if all members are located in the Moscow/Idaho area).

Do you think you'd like to help our rescue fulfill our mission? Please reach out today!

Looking for a foster-to-adopt for this sweet rabbit Flapjack, who looks to be some sort of English spot mix. I found him outside my trailer a little over a month ago and have been working on getting him vetted so that he can find a good home as a house bunny and be properly spoiled! A little about this handsome man, he's recently neutered and is litterbox trained. He's a very neat rabbit. I've only had to do weekly cleanings of his full pen. He has excellent flops! Hence his name 😊 He is likely a young rabbit and is in good health. He is ready for his foster home now and will be ready to fully adopt as soon as his RHDV2 vaccine course is complete in November.
❤: kale, cilantro and romaine. Hopping on and off your lap and hopping in circles around you while you visit him. Vitamin C Kaytee treatos and Timothy Hay straight from the farm. His favorite toys are wicker style balls (from the pet store).
🚩: taking too long to give him his treatos! Getting neutered (he had strong feelings!) Tolerates being picked up but prefers hopping on and off your lap at will. Parsley--looks like cilantro but lies about it.
Would do okay in a multipet home (like mine) as long as he had his own space and possibly a female bunny friend!
ISO: A furever home that will give him the recommended standard of care including: a pen with 16+ sq feet of space or a rabbit proofed room, a proper diet (mostly Timothy hay with 1/4 cup of his tasty oxbow pellets a day and some fresh greens 1-2x a day), a nice litter box with rabbit safe litter and timothy hay, a cozy hide, lots of toys and love.
As a foster we can lend out his temporary set up and a rug if needed. He will come with his toys, his cooling tile, water bowl, stacking cups for his oxbow food, and treats. As long as you are close to Moscow, I will provide timothy hay, food, etc until he's adopted.

Rapunzel and Mulan have been patiently waiting for their furever home since their intake on August 12th. These girls have overcome so much in such a short time. They’ve watched all their family members get adopted and continue to dream about that future home they can call their own. These girls are absolute loves! Rapunzel is a little fish at heart and loves to spend most of her free-roam time jumping in and out of her pool and grabbing all the pool tools to take back to her favorite hide. Mulan loves exploring all the nooks and crannies in her free-roam area and will climb all over her people. Both girls are absolute joys to interact with.

Are you interested in adopting these girls? Visit our website at www.apintsizedrescue.weebly.com to fill out an adoption application.

*Update* Foster home found thanks to our incredible team of foster families 🥰. I can’t praise you all enough! We couldn’t do what we do without you all.

Interested in adopting these boys in the future? Apply now and you’ll be at the top of the consideration list once they become available.

*Note* We do not adopt on a “first come, first serve” basis. We heavily consider each home, what they can offer the little ones, and how well we believe the little ones would do in each specific home environment. A lot of time, effort, and careful consideration go into placing our critters into the “best-fit” homes. Additionally, if you are ever passed over for an adoption, do not let it dissuade you from applying for another of our rescues in the future. Unless you were otherwise informed, you were most likely passed over simply because we felt there was a home that was a better fit for those specific animals. To us, it’s all about them and their wellbeing. Us humans are just in addition to all that.

*UPDATE*
The dates have been pushed out to October 31st and November 21st (two dose vaccine) in order to find more rabbits to receiver the vaccine.

Do you own a rabbit? Did you know that your rabbit is always at risk of contracting the deadly Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus Type-2 (RHDV2) if they are not vaccinated against it? One of our team members is vaccinating their foster rabbit through WSU, which requires purchasing an entire vial of the vaccine (10 doses). They are looking for seven more rabbits to receive the vaccine (otherwise the remaining doses get tossed out).

This relatively new virus spreads quickly and is still dispersing across populations of wild and domestic rabbits. Since we live in an area where wild rabbits are prevalent, it's extra important for rabbit owners to vaccinate against this deadly virus EVEN IF YOUR RABBIT IS INDOOR-ONLY. Please, if you own a rabbit, message us asap so we can work with you to schedule your rabbit for a dose. Also, please share this with any rabbit owners you may know.

I spy with my little eye some extra cute faces during today’s free roam. 😘

These are the faces of our resident ladies. Opal is the grey and black striped tabby with the tiny eyes (she has microphthalmia and was born blind). Her biological sister is the beige girl, Pearl. And the pink-eyed white girl is Moonflower, their adopted sister who came into the rescue with her three daughters.

🤩 Exciting news! 🤩 All but these four Disney princess girls have been adopted or are pending adoption. We are so close to reaching our September adoption goal. Let's get these four beautiful girls placed into the furever home they have always deserved.

Whoever is lucky enough to scoop these girls up is going to have some of the best friends they could have ever wished for. We can guarantee you will fall head-over-heels for them, just as they will for you. You can apply for adoption through our website at www.apintsizedrescue.weebly.com.

We need your help to raise funds to meet the care needs of our critters. Donations can always be made in person at either of the Pets Are People Too stores in Moscow and Pullman or through one of our monetary donation sites found on our Linktree page: https://linktr.ee/a.pint.sized.rescue.

Every single penny goes directly to the care needs of the critters in our rescue – food, bedding, medical expenses, and more. Not a single penny goes to waste.

Let's make this month really count! Help us get each and every rat in our rescue adopted into forever loving homes this month. We have nine munchkins remaining from the surrendered 18 - Rapunzel, Ariel, Mulan, and Belle from the girls, and Bullseye, Rex, Forky, Etch a Sketch, and Baby Face from the boys. We also have the Lost Boys - Tootles, Nibs, and Cubby (pending 🤞). Bullseye, Rex, and Forky are also pending, fingers crossed. So, let's work together to get ALL of these little loves into those homes they have always deserved! I know we can do it. We are nothing without our public support, so let's show this community how much we REALLY are, together!

These 9 absolutely perfect munchkins are the only remaining ratties from the 18 surrendered on August 12th who are still looking for their furever homes. From the top left: Baby Face (M), Etch a Sketch (M), Ariel (F), Bullseye (M), Rex (M), Mulan (F), Belle (F), Forky (M), Rapunzel (F). Each one of these bright-eyed rats has a beautiful personality all their own. Who could resist these precious faces? Good news, you don't have to *wink wink*. They could be yours as easy as filling out an adoption application and getting approved. Apply today to have your own best friends join you in your home.

Adoptions from the last two weeks. Jasmine and Camellia, daughters of my rescued Moonflower and sisters to (Instagram) foster fail, Cecily, were adopted on the last day of August. They had been patiently waiting for their forever home for over three months. And two of the girls from our recently rescued 18, Briar Rose and Elsa, were adopted on Saturday. Both pairs were adopted as pets for teenage girls who both showed extreme excitement and a dedication to education and proper rat ownership. We are so excited for everyone! These are the outcomes we are always striving to achieve for each and every one of our little rescue critters.

Our goal for this month is to get all of our current ratties adopted! We have: a set of three mid-aged boys, the Lost Boys, who have been patiently awaiting their forever home for over a month; five precious, quiet, and observant boys from the 18 surrendered; and four of the sweetest and most playful girls from the 18 surrendered. Let's see if we can't reach that goal together!

*URGENT* We are desperately seeking a foster or adoptive home for a recently captured stray male rabbit. He is sweet but timid, as he had been living outdoors for an unknown period of time. Please inquire if you feel you are a suitable home for him.

These five boys from the recent 18 surrendered rats are now looking for their forever homes! Look at these bright and beautiful faces just yearning for their own personal snuggle buddies. In picture order (two pictures per rattie): Bullseye, Forky, Etch a Sketch, Rex, and Baby Face. These boys came from a serious neglect situation, on the edge of starvation, and have already made an incredible comeback. The boys are still learning to trust in their human friends, but that doesn't slow them down from saying hi, taking treats, and showing us humans just how willing they are to try their hands at friendship 🥰. Won't you consider showing a couple of these boys what it truly means to be cherished?

If you are interested in these boys, or any of our other rescue critters, you can read bios and apply for adoption through our website at www.apintsizedrescue.weebly.com. Thank you for supporting our critters and our mission.

*Update* Elsa and Briar Rose have been adopted. Four girls still looking for their forever homes - Mulan, Rapunzel, Belle, and Ariel.

These six beautiful ladies are from the 18 surrendered on August 12th, 2024. In picture order: Mulan, Belle, Briar, Rapunzel, Elsa, and Ariel. After coming back from malnourishment and fighting off some skin parasites, these girls are now in good health and well on their way to long and healthy lives. With that, they are now available for adoption! You honestly won't find friendlier rats. They are absolute loves, absolute dolls, and down right absolute joys to have in your life. Don't miss out on this chance to scoop up a couple new best friends while you can.

We are located in Pullman, WA. You can inquire about adoption through direct messaging or visit our website at www.apintsizedrescue.weebly.com

Are you interested in becoming a foster parent of a pint-sized animal?

We are diligently searching for the right-fit foster homes for our female rats from the "18 Surrendered." We have six females and they are ALL currently on pregnancy watch. We suspect a few are no longer pregnant, but everyone will remain on watch until cleared or they give birth. We also have a couple who are obviously pregnant and will likely be giving birth within the next 1 to 1.5 weeks. We are hoping to find quiet homes where at least one adult will be present most of the day to keep a close eye on these expecting mommas. They all came from a high neglect situation and have a lot of personal challenges to overcome with their health, so a highly attentive human is a must, for the safety of them and their kittens. It is not required that you have rat experience, but if you have small animal prenatal/postnatal experience, that would put you at the top of our picks. We just want the very best for these little ladies.

The girls are all very sweet and affectionate, and have essentially no fear of humans. They actually yearn for human attention most of the time. We would like to place two to three in each foster home, and we will provide EVERYTHING needed for their care (cage, supplies, food, medications, etc.). We just need to find the best families to care for these special little ladies. If you think that might be you, apply today at www.apintsizedrescue.weebly.com or scan the QR code in the photo.

Intake photos, INCREDIBLE weight gains from day one to day five, and some absolutely adorable snapshots of the boys. These are the 18 Surrendered that we took in on Monday, August 12, from a severe neglect situation.

All the boys have found foster homes with a few incredible foster families, except for Mr. Potato Head, Buzz Lightyear, and Woody who were our three body condition score 1 - emaciated boys, along with Ken, their good buddy. Those four will be going to their permanent home as sanctuary residents at Rat Way Sanctuary in Portland, Oregon.

Our girls, all of whom are on pregnancy watch, are still looking for the right foster homes for them. If you have rat experience, or even maternity experience with other small animals, please consider applying to foster a couple of these girls. You can reach out to us about how to apply or go to www.apintsizedrescue.weebly.com and fill out a foster application.

Thank you for your continued support!

Our good friends at the Whitman County Humane Society need your help. Rescue is not a lone endeavor, it requires community action. Together we are stronger. Together we can change their lives for the better. Read their post below to see how you might be able to create change for the better 🫶🏼

Dear Community,

Lately, we've been seeing more animals than ever at the Whitman County Humane Society. At times, our kennels are completely full. While every animal here is safe and cared for, we find ourselves needing some extra help.

Shelters nationwide are facing challenges not seen in over a decade, and we're no exception. It’s comforting to know we’re not alone, but the truth is, we need your support to continue helping as many animals and families as possible.

Our community has always stepped up when needed, and we’re so grateful for that! If you’re looking for ways to make a difference, here’s how you can help:

Adopt a pet: Whether it’s a kitten, a large dog, or another animal in our care, adopting not only gives them a home but also opens up space for another animal in need.

Foster temporarily: If you have a little extra room, consider fostering an animal. It’s a short-term commitment, and we provide all the supplies. It’s a great way to help if you’re thinking about adopting but aren’t quite ready.

Donate: Our animals receive the best care, which requires a lot of resources. Monetary donations or supplies are always welcome and greatly appreciated.

We want to assure you that we’ll continue to help stray animals within our area. If you find a stray, bring them to us so we can check for a microchip and work to reunite them with their owner.

Our dedicated team is working hard every day to support the animals and people in our community. Your support—whether through adopting, fostering, or donating—makes all the difference.

Thank you for helping make Whitman County a fantastic place for pets!

Warm regards,
The Whitman County Humane Society
