Both Waseca and Elma are in Trust Training due to hand shyness. They also have permanent head tilt and imbalance from inner ear damage. Due to their unique needs, Waseca and Elma will require a very experienced adopter.

MNPPR's urgent foster needs!

https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/fostering

There is no denying that Stocking & Mr. Kringle are ridiculously adorable! These sweet boys have been with MNPPR for almost a year and hope to spend their next holiday season with their forever family. More info available at https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/available-rabbits

Knocking on Heaven's Door, Stairway to Heaven, & Devil Went Down to Georgia came to MNPPR when their previous owner was no longer able to keep up with care. We are anxious for these buddies to connect with a loving family that will provide them with plenty of Cheerios, yogurt, and seed mix! (These are their favorites) They also want plenty of room to explore and play. These sweeties are in our Trust Training Program for general shyness but their foster family has already seen them make strides when it comes to trusting people. Looking to learn a bit more about this trio? Take a peek at their profiles! https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/available-rats Video description available upon request.

Aster and his buddy Dandelion are two fun-loving guinea pigs who recently returned to the rescue when their adopter could no longer care for them. They are such sweet boys who love exploring and munching on grass and greens. They will always have a soft spot in my heart as I was their intake foster when they first came to the rescue. These boys greeted me every morning with "weeks" and expectations. Please, adopt these boys. They will make every day brighter and be the best family members. Check out their profile at https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/available-guinea-pigs

Congratulations to Cobra and Dodo! These fun-loving gerbils have found their forever home. May they have all the exploring, digging, and seeds they desire. Are you interested in adopting pocket pets? Check out available animals at https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/adopt

Our volunteer Alex shared this adorable video of her guinea pigs being excited for green this morning. Such cuties. Share photos or videos of your animals getting treats or food below!
