Update 8/21: Working on being more comfortable with humans. Will take treats from foster and is comfortable when being held
Other notes: Working with treats to make her more comfortable. Is good when being held. Will run away when being picked up. Working to make it more positive with treats. Very sweet and cuddly once she is being held.
Tadpole came to MNPPR after being found abandoned outside. She gave birth to Hot Cocoa shortly after arriving in rescue.
Tadpole & Hot Cocoa made their way back to MNPPR along with their new friend Mitzy when their family was no longer able to provide proper care.
Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. Tadpole’s foster parent prefers to meet at the Roseville PetSmart - 2480 Fairview Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113 for meet & greets, & adoptions.
Fee: Tadpole, Hot Cocoa, & Mitzy have a combined adoption fee of $85
We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.
Tadpole's care while in rescue has not yet been sponsored. If you would like to donate to provide veterinary care, food, bedding, and enrichment for Tadpole or other pocket pets in the care of MNPPR, please visit https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/sponsor-a-pocket-pet for more information.
