Behavioral concerns: Mitzy, Hot Cocoa, & Tadpole are in MNPPR's trust training program for their nervousness and hesitation to interact with humans. Learn more about our trust training program at. https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/trust-training
Update 8/21: Will run away when being picked up. Is comfortable being held and will take treats from foster.
Other notes: Will run away when being picked up. Friendly when being held and will take treats from foster. Very sweet and will cuddle when 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. Hot Cocoa’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.
Hot Cocoa'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 Hot Cocoa or other pocket pets in the care of MNPPR, please visit https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/sponsor-a-pocket-pet for more information.
