Our mission is to provide loving care to rats in need until their amazing, forever home is found. Special needs rats can be given safe sanctuary to live out the remainder of their lives in comfort & love.
JARRS provides housing, food, socialization & medical care to our fosters. We receive our rats from a variety of situations including, but not limited to:
* Owner Surrenders
