My story

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

Turnip was relinquished because she was attacking the other rats in the household. She cannot see well and has a significant head-tilt. We treated with antibiotics to rule out an ear infection so her Dr believes it could just be a permanent neurological condition.
However, she loves to eat, lounge and customize her enclosure, all the normal rat things. Becuase of her sight she can be grabby and nippy but once she realizes it's a hand, she lets us pet her. We think she can do well as a single rat with an experienced owner who can read her body language and mostly just spoil her and let her do her thing.https://www.lostwoodsas.com/adoption-application

Go meet their pets

We are currently open by appointment only to see all the pets, but we frequently appear at farmer's markets and other local events with adoptable animals.

More about this shelter

We are a specialty rescue for small exotic pets, such as reptiles and small mammals. We were formed by two women who met working at a nature center. In their interactions with the public they noticed a need in the area for a rescue that specialized in exotic pets, as well as a value in public education. Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary was formed with the mission to reduce mistreatment and abandonment of animals through rescue and rehoming, as well as educational outreach.
