⚠️ Sweet Boy Alert ⚠️ **ADOPTED **

These curly boys came back into rescue by no fault of their own!

Little Finger and Pinky were very spoiled! They enjoyed lots of Free Roam time, tons of Enrichment and so much Love! IT SHOWS! They love hard and you will fall in love with them fast!

They were very much a family pet. Everyone enjoyed caring for them; from bigs to littles. These two would make awesome first pets (with parent support). They are patient with little hands, calm, very laid back and easy care.

Adoption will include their cage, enrichment, water bottles, hammocks, hides and starter bedding & food.

Cookie (Albino) and Sundae (Sealpoint) are ready for homes. Nuetered Males.

They can go together or with one of the ladies I've socialed them with, but must go with a friend.

Both boys can not be introduced to a new cage with males. However, they do wonderful with all the females I've had them visit.

If you've wanted the opportunity to have a male in a house full of females; this would be a great opportunity.

These boys need to go into an experienced rat home, without small hands. Both enjoy being out but act shy in the cage. Continued trust huilding during free roam will allow you and them the best experience.

Located near Portland. Willing to travel up to 1 hour for the right home.

If you are an experienced rat owner. That can open your home to "the not so wanted" rats. These boys sure deserve a life outside of rescue.

Groku & Naruto

We have two crazy buttheaded rats that are on the hunt for a furever home. Theses boys are slick and handsome, and just a touch crazy. They need a gentle landing spot to give them the space they need with minimal needs. They are very easy keepers that don't need/want handling.

They are good listeners with out spreading gossip and providing unsolicited advice.

They respond well with puff or yogurt bites! With time with their new home they may get use to gentle pets. It will be important to listen to their cues and give them the time to trust.

They absolutely love to free roam and hang out in their hammocks for lazy afternoon snuggles.

These boys can't be merged with others! They are a pair til death does them part.

My goodness these young adult boys have some personalities!

Dietri, Cho, Shenzi and Oliver are 8 months old boys.

Oliver is really food motivated. Cho and Shenzi are both a little more anxious, Cho more so. Shenzi and Dietri are both escape artists. Dietri is at the bottom of the hierarchy and is pretty chill. Cho and Oliver are at the top and always fighting it out, with Shenzi also getting into the fray regularly.

They still get anxious about new things or if they're separated from one another, but if you’re gentle and patient they warm up to things pretty quickly. They’re in the teenage phase of lots of activity, peeing/marking a lot, fighting (non seriously), and trying to escape the free roam area!

Shenzi had gotten mouthy when backed in a corner retrieving him from escaping. Experienced Hands will be needed with him.

We can work with the foster on recommendation with pairings if someone can't take all 4.

If you would like to support, She would be very grateful.

Meet Ash and Ghost!

These Sweet boys are about 3 months old. They love to hang out on your shoulder and visiting you during free roam time.

They get a little nervous initially coming out of the cage. They continually have grown better at this with working with them.

Favorite treats include peas and bok choy.

Located near Portland. Application in the comments.

Let's share our pet momma photos!

Any kind of pet welcome!

This is Nala girl. She's been all about Momma snuggles this morning. I think ahe knows it's my day!

01/05/2022

These boys are ready to meet a new family to love them.

Ghost and Ash are sweet boys! While they could use more handling to continue to grow. They do not mind being picked up and loved on. I know getting into a home, they will progress at light speeds.

They are about 3 months old. Not blood brothers, but close enough! They must go together.

Don't mind my cage cleaning get up and double chin.

Shout out to Hudsons Hammoks !! (Link in comments)

I reached out to order a bonding pouch for one of our adoptors whom is struggling to fully bond with her babies.

And of course Hudson jumps right in with a donation!!

If you need hammocks, don't go anywhere else.

The quality, passion and the giving back he does is absolutely worth supporting this young entrepreneur!

These faces caught my eye and I had to share!

23/03/2022

Over the next week communication through our admins will be limited with one of us on Vacation and one undergoing surgery.

Our foster team will be supporting as they are able.

Thanks to an Amazing Foster these PET Breeder rats that didn't meet her behavior specs have been saved from snake food.

8-10 week old babies are like puppies. They need time and patience to learn trust. Not every baby comes out loving human interaction; and that's okay.

Our experienced Fosters are going to work their magic on these babies!

This sweet Jonas boy was found outside and immediately climbed up to a shoulder for comfort when rescued from the street; he is a healthy weight and estimated to be just under 1 year old.

As former rat owners, we are currently fostering him and he's in a safe habitat with food, water, gnawing toys, occasional treats, and lots of social time with us.

He is ready to find a forever home and a friendly cage mate.

Fostered in SE Portland.

Blossom and Beezy are some of recent foster girlies.

These little girls were immediately placed on a Mission to Hospice a senior rat. Things quickly went south and their mission became healing their human families heart.

The time has come that they find their forever. These girls are about 6 months old. They are Super sweet, playful, incredibly cuddly considering they are girls, healthy and curious.

Blossom is super shy at first but warms up with treats and pets. Beezy loves people and will warm up almost immediately.

Favorite play time includes wrestling in the tissues and playing with corks on strings.

With their foster getting out of rats, they will come with many supplies.

ADOPTED

4 Month Girls. Located in Keizer OR. Willing to travel.

These are Ghost (white) and Toast (silver)!

Ghost is very shy, and afraid of almost everything at first. She doesn’t like to be held yet, but she’s getting more comfortable with the idea every day, and will tolerate gentle touches and pets. Her favorite thing in the world is building nests. If you give her a box of tissues and a few empty hides, she will go absolutely wild and build the home of her dreams in no time!

Toast is a little more fearless, and absolutely loves exploring and getting into trouble. She enjoys digging in dig boxes, chasing fingers and feather toys, and has even shown some interest in swimming!

These girls are very close to each other and very gentle. While Toast may put on a bit of a show, we don’t think she’d have any issues being introduced to other ratties. They’d do best in an experienced adult’s care, where they can be fully brought out of their shells and thrive.

4 month Boys, located in East Portland near Mall 205

"Hey! We call ourselves the little Mushroom Brothers! A very apt name because, other than our brother Socks, the four of us can be quite difficult to tell apart at times! We love to sleep in a big ole rat pile and we're very agile and energetic, chasing each other and play wrestling when we're not snuggled up against each other. We can be a little shy at first but we're not afraid of anything once we get comfortable! If you can't take us all, that's okay! We've talked about it and we're ready for solo or duo adventures too. "

04/02/2022

Look at these Pews located in East Portland! Our Foster has done such an incredible job supporting these boys! 4 months and anxious to get in their forever homes.

"Hi! We're Cookie (light nose) and Sundae! (dark nose)My brother Sundae is a little shy, which is good, because I'm very outgoing and love to explore! We are two very curious boys who enjoy lots of enrichment and with a little bit of care are very outgoing and friendly! I love to be around other friends, but my brother Sundae might need a little extra patience when meeting new rats. We hope to see you soon! "

What do you think?

This was a great fundraiser and someone won a cage!

Prepare to have your hearts stolen!!
*Two Available Boys!*
Shyguy & Luigi! (Ages 1 year old or less)
Location: Foster Emily Piper in Milwaukie OR (willing to travel in surrounding area)

These two boys are quite the pair. They are still getting used to each other and humans and I think they would benefit in an adult-owner home! They would truly thrive with someone who has experience, or a lot of patience and understanding to gain their trust. ShyGuy’s name is truly his personality! (black & white markings) He looks to be under 1 year old. He is timid, but curious. He hasn’t experienced a lot of handling but he tolerates getting pets in the cage very well! He can be picked up but only when he wants to be, he would benefit from a lot of hoodie/snuggle time to truly bond with his new owner! He has not bitten. He is sooo sweet and you can tell he wants to be loved he’s just unsure about the world!
With the right home he would really blossom 💚

Luigi is a spit fire! He is slightly bigger in size, and seems to be older than ShyGuy. He is confident, curious and seems to enjoy hanging out with his humans. He gives kisses, loves to take treats from your hand and loves to explore all the toys in the cage! He likes wood chews, foraging toys, his dig box and a fun treat puzzle toy- he would love to have a new home with lots of stuff to do!! They get into scuffles sometimes and I believe it is because shyguy was introduced into Luigis life as it doesn’t seem like they’ve been raised together. They are still establishing their cage dynamic and Luigi definitely is the dominant brother of the two. They work it out quickly and have not hurt each other. They enjoy their big igloo, hammocks and side basket with fleece to lay in. They eat a lot of food & Luigi loves to hide it! They are quite a fun pair of boys and they will really thrive in their new home with extra love and care 🥰

If you are interested in adopting these precious boys please visit our website to fill out our adoption application. They would love a furrrever home! 🐀🐀
