We are a small animal rescue for rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and occasionally rabbits. We have partnered with the Missouri House Rabbit Society to rescue animals from local shelters that are threatened with euthanasia due to lack of interest from the public in their area. We also take in owner surrenders for no fee but request supplies be donated with him/her to offset the cost of their care.
We hold the belief that all animals deserve respect, not just their potential predators. We are a no-kill not for profit home-based foster rescue group and are always looking for foster homes for our little nibblers.
We are fairly new, having started operation in 2011 and are always willing to accept donations of cages, bedding, and other supplies. We are looking to start having "meet the critters" events in the near future. All applicable animals are spayed/neutered prior to adoption to prevent further breeding.
This rescue doesn’t have any adoptable pets right now – check out adoptable pets nearby or start a custom pet search below.
