A hamster named Harold
The hamster obsession all started with an old man hamster named Harold. Harold had belonged to a international student that needed to move back home. She had posted on a local animal group that she was looking for a home for him. I had never owned a rodent, my mom wouldn’t have allowed that. Being an animal lover, I took on my first hamster. Ever since the day I got him, I knew I loved hamsters. He started a hamster craze, and I was out to learn all I could about these little guys. As time went on, I would see other animals like gerbils, mice and rabbits that also needed a refuge. Some pregnant, others beat up and some already deceased. Since 2017 I have been rescuing animals and doing what I could to educate pet owners on proper care. There is no shame in giving up an animal, especially when there are so many groups and organizations to rescue. I learn something new about pets each day as I have expanded my horizon of rescuing to include reptiles. My first experience with a leopard gecko was quite something......Stay tuned for more rescue and adoption stories!
