My story

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

ADOPTION FEE: $5

Introducing Pickles, aka Miss Pickles! She is a sweet and friendly short-haired Syrian hamster looking for her new forever home. Her previous family adored her, and it shows in her gentle, curious nature and how well-adjusted she is to handling. Miss Pickles came from a home where she had a spacious and enriching enclosure, and we'd love for her next family to offer her the same level of care.

Syrian hamsters like Pickles thrive in a large, secure tank with plenty of deep bedding for burrowing and exploring. She'll also need a wheel big enough to keep her back straight while running (12 inches is ideal for Syrians!). Being a female Syrian, Pickles is an adventurous and clever girl who may try her paw at escape artistry-so her enclosure should be escape-proof, and she'll need plenty of toys, activities, and human interaction to stay entertained.

To begin the adoption process for our small animals, please fill out the pre-adoption questionnaire below. Be as detailed as possible, and keep in mind that an enclosure photo will be required after we receive your form submission. Remember to keep an eye on your inbox, including the junk folder, to ensure you don't miss any emails from us about your adoption application.

The world is inhabited by many species sharing a common ecosystem of air, earth, and water. We recognize and value our interconnectedness with all animals.
