Rats are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! Due to the highly social nature of rats we prefer to match them with homes with existing rats, or to adopters looking to take home two or more rats. Rats can be food driven (and great foragers!) making them excellent animals to train. We always recommend the use of positive reinforcement training with your animals, and are happy to provide more information on this topic.

We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows the rat plenty of space to exercise. The minimum cage size should be 2’x2.5’x2’, with good ventilation (no glass enclosures) and must have a solid base. Preferably the shelter includes multiple levels, with appropriate use of linens or paper bedding and lots of rat appropriate toys. Rats should never be housed with other animals, each species should always have its own housing.

The needs of each rat are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rat you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion! Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex. A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30″ x 50″ with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged! Guinea pigs can be quite noisy which can be lovely as long as you are expecting it!

Degus are social animals native to Chile that can be tamed with regular handling. Similar to most rodents, degus love to chew everything! As such they should be provided with lots of chewing enrichment. Degus live in colonies in nature, and should always be housed in same-sex pairs or groups.

We recommend a large solid floored, multi-level cage similar to those made for ferrets or chinchillas. Paper bedding or other appropriate nesting material (wood shaving are NOT appropriate) should be provided to allow the degus to dig, stockpile food and nest. The cage must include a solid (no rungs) exercise wheel and tubes (or PVC pipes) to allow the degus to meet their natural needs. Degus like chinchillas bathe using a dust bath and should be provided a shallow bowl of dust several times a week. Cages should always be well ventilated but kept away from direct sunlight, and drafts. Timothy hay is an important piece of a degu’s diet and must always be available.

The needs of each degu are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the degu you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

* We are currently closed to the general public d but are scheduling appointments for adoption. If you would like to schedule a browsing appointment to meet degus available for adoption, please click on the blue “Inquire” link above to get started.

Budgerigars, the most common parakeet we see, are native to Australia where they live in massive flocks in the grasslands. Parakeets tend to be docile, gentle, can be easy to tame and can even talk! Despite their small size, these birds can have large vocabularies and can make a wonderful training companion. We recommend that parakeets live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Parakeets can live up to 7-15 years with proper nutrition and care, and can be a loyal companion.

We recommend a cage that is at least 27”x24” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ½” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Nests can be provided but should be removed if any females begin to lay eggs. We do not recommend a seed only diet as it can lead to malnutrition and other potential issues, please consult your vet for specific diet recommendations.

Cobb is a 1 year old, NEUTERED male rat. Rats make fabulous pets. The group we currently have could fit a variety of homes – some are already on the social side, while others request a bit of patience while they learn the joys of being a companion rat.

Rats are very clean and intelligent animals; they can be trained to do all sorts of tricks and behaviors, including using a litterbox! Rats are also very social and enjoy the companionship of other rats and humans alike. Because of this, we would like these brothers and sisters to be adopted in same-sex groups or pairs. They could also likely get along with other social rats. For rats, we recommend a minimum of 24″x24″x24″ multilevel enclosures with maximum bar spacing of ½”.

Say hello to Belle!

Belle is an adorable 3 year old potbelly pig ready to find a family to love. She is always looking for some attention whether it be a quick conversation, mostly one sided, or a quick belly rub. Originally an indoor pig, Belle has made big strides adjusting to the pig barn life. She is exceptional at building nests out of straw and blankets, so good she’ll bury herself to the point you can’t find her under all the blankets! She is looking for a family that will help her continue her transition to the outdoor lifestyle and give all the treats and belly rubs she could ever ask for! If you are interested in Belle, please submit an adoption inquiry form.

These boys are nervous and will need some help getting comfortable with handling. They would benefit from out of cage time to explore and forage in thoroughly rat-proofed areas.

Meet Carl! Carl is a large rabbit who is looking for an experienced home. He lived with another rabbit and didn’t get along with them so we think he’d prefer to be the king of his castle. He has a big personality and lets you know if you’re in his way so we think he’d do best without children.

She is sweet and outgoing and would probably do well in a home with children who could be very gentle with her. At only 5 months old Patsy still has a lot of learning and growing to do.

Ready to meet the sweetest and silliest potbelly pig? Vivian is a friendly and energetic one year old pig ready to impress with her zoomies and playful bounces! She is very curious with her environment and benefits from having many forms of enrichment to keep her engaged. She would make a great starter pig for a family looking to start living the farm life! If you are interested in Viviana, please submit an adoption inquiry form.

Potbelly pigs benefit highly from access to an outdoor environment where they can exhibit their natural behaviors such as creating nests, rooting, and wallowing. Any environment for them should use pig appropriate fencing and shelters. Need help preparing? Feel free to reach out to the shelter for more information.

Gerbils are nocturnal, very adventurous, tend to have a friendly nature and can be easy to hand tame! Gerbils are social creatures and should be housed with same-sex gerbils except for medical or behavioral reasons.

We recommend a 10 gallon or larger tank filled with about 2” of paper bedding or other nesting material. Nesting material should be loose, light, easy to manipulate, and of course safe. Enclosures should be well ventilated but kept out of direct drafts, and should provide plenty of enclosed opaque shelters for the gerbils to retreat into as desired. Enclosures should provide lots of enrichment for the gerbils to meet their natural needs in the areas of chewing/gnawing, physical movement, resting/hiding, and nesting material or food to forage. A properly sized wheel or disc is a necessity for the gerbils to meet their exercise needs.

The needs of each gerbil are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the gerbil you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.
