Underground Squeaks

Animal rescue in Pittsburgh, PA

We are a foster-based small animal rescue. We care for and offer rescue & sanctuary services for small animals including, but not limited to, pet mice, hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, chinchillas and rabbits. While our rescue is volunteer-run, our executive director does rescue full-time allowing us to also assist other local rescues with medical, pregnancy/maternity care & special needs cases especially involving chinchillas and rabbits. While we have been active in small animal rescue since 2020, we were established as Underground Squeaks in 2023. We are currently pending 501c3 approval.
