My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*Please read FULL description before inquiring.*

Sweet Cheeks is very sweet indeed! He is calm, gentle, and does not mind being picked up and held. And, he’s litter trained! He does leave poops in his bedding, but he pees reliably in his litter box. He was purchased for a child, who lost interest. His estimated age is 6 months.

As with all small animals, proper care for hamsters is unfortunately generally not well known. While they are quite easy to care for, their small size makes them fragile for clumsy little hands that may drop or squeeze them, and they are very difficult to find if they escape their habitat. Therefore, they are not a good choice for a child's pet, except with constant adult supervision and help. Many of the animals that come to us with "behavioral issues" are very sweet and calm once they are in a proper habitat/environment. The larger the habitat, the happier the hamster, and larger habitats don't need to be cleaned as often. For more information on hamster care, please review our care guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ajRfdvm-gbj9hdbNu7KE8EbRJzHvAuX__Gd0WY6-500/edit?usp=sharing

If you're interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application at www.hhsar.org/adopt. The adoption fee is $20, which does not include a habitat, cage, or any supplies. We regularly have used habitats, cages and supplies available for a donation fee. Please contact us for more information. We are a foster-based rescue and do not have a shelter location where our animals can be visited. We can arrange a visit if you're interested in adopting, but we require an adoption application to be submitted before.
