Are you looking to add some pep to your life? We have a bunch of sweet little balls of joy looking for their perfect forever homes. Merino's ten kittens (baby rats) - 6 females and 4 males, will be eight weeks old on January 7th, at which time they will be ready to head off on their next big adventure.

We are currently looking for a sanctuary foster (long-term foster) for the four young males due to the nature of Gideon's, one of the brothers, medical condition. The six females will be available for adoption. Additionally, we have five young females, approximately 3.5 months old, who are ready and waiting for their forever homes as well. These little munchkins are all little bundles of joy, each with their own unique and beautiful personalities.

If you are interested in adopting a couple young rats, please inquire and/or fill out an adoption application at www.apintsizedresdcue.weebly.com. Happy holidays!

Help make a Christmas wish come true!

These five young girls, approximately 3 months of age, came to us after it was discovered that they were not males and were being housed with mature male rats. One female - Merino, came to us pregnant and gave birth to ten beautiful kittens (baby rats) on November 12th. When the kittens reached 4.5 weeks of age, they were fully weaned and Merino rejoined her sisters. Despite the start these little ones had, they are all little balls of joy and affection. Each little one has their own beautiful personality and are ready to light up your life with loads of laughter and fun.

Rats live an average of 1.5 - 2.5 years, but can live as long as 4 years (although rare, due to the nature of diseases in rats, such as cancer). The youthfulness of these little ones means you should get a great deal of time with them bringing loads of happiness to your everyday. If you're interested in bringing these little loves into your life, fill out an adoption application at www.apintsizedrescue.weebly.com.

Happy holidays!!!

Merry and Pippin are two young male guinea pigs, approximately six months old, who were surrendered due to the owners moving. They have become easy to handle, but would benefit from patience and continued training to help them understand that they won't generally be force-handled. They are learning that handling can be a choice, and a good choice at that. These boys are sweet little things that will make wonderful family additions.

You can apply to adopt Merry and Pippin at www.apintsizedrescue.weebly.com.

To all of our November donors, we are truly grateful for you and your contributions to our rescue. You are the village that help our little ones thrive. We couldn’t do what we do without you. All monetary donations go directly into our veterinary funds (unless otherwise specified during fundraising). Those funds help cover exam fees for new intakes, surgeries, medications, and medical emergencies. Medical care is a necessity to the health and wellbeing of our critters, and your donations help make that difference for these little ones. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Mr. Mercury is looking for his furever home! Can you help make his Christmas wish come true?

Mr. Mercury, an American Chinchilla Rabbit, was captured as a stray rabbit in suburban Moscow in early November, 2024. His age is unknown, but he is suspected to be less than 3 years. Mr. Mercury has been adjusting to home life very well. He confidently takes treats and pets from his humans. Although he is not a fan of being picked up, he does enjoy human company. If you are looking for a handsome, healthy young male rabbit as a household companion, look no further. Mr. Mercury will light up your life. If you are interested in bringing this sweet bun into your life, apply for adoption at www.apintsizedrescue.weebly.com.

*All the munchkins have been named. A big thank you to everyone who took part.*

Help us name these cheeky little munchkins AND raise money for our rescue!

Have you been following along on the journey of Merino’s ten kittens? Have you jumped on to watch them grow and play during our live streams and fallen in love with anyone? Well, now’s your chance to give them a special name that will forever be their identification through our rescue (new homes may rename them, but they will always have the names given to them in rescue in their records - and some new homes love keeping their names). We have nine kittens who need names (you all helped name Gideon already).

This is a first come, first serve event! Each kitten is labeled with the hood markings associated with them and their s*x - male/female, in parenthesis.

To name a kitten:
1) Contact us for whom you want to name so we can mark them as named
2) Make a $10 donation per name through our
•Venmo (-pint-sized-rescue)
•Paypal ()
3) That’s it!

Along with your donation and given names of the little ones, we will feature you and your named rat(s) in our story and updated post when everyone has been named.

Due to an emergency, today’s raffle event has been cancelled. We are so sorry that we won’t be able to see all our wonderful supporters today. We will be figuring out an alternative to the event so you’ll still have a chance to win one of the baskets. Thank you for your continued support.

Animals require, and absolutely deserve, lifelong commitments from their guardians. No animal should be purchased on a whim, and deals like this only encourage that train of thought. Please, please research your future pet and purchase all necessary care items to give them the very best life PRIOR to purchasing any animal.

❌Animals Are Not Black Friday Deals❌

Pets are lifelong commitments, not impulse purchases!

Offering animals as “sales” or “holiday specials” may lead to rushed decisions that can harm both the animals and unprepared adopters.

Every animal deserves a loving, permanent home where their needs are understood and prioritized. If you’re ready to bring a new pet into your life, consider adopting thoughtfully and responsibly from shelters or rescues. Let’s ensure animals are treated with the respect and care they deserve—not as commodities.
