Meet Clementine and Apple — two 1½-year-old female rats looking for a patient, experienced home to call their own. These bonded companions were surrendered through no fault of their own and are now ready to start their next chapter together.

Clementine, the white rat, and Apple, her grey sister, are active, curious girls who enjoy the company of other rats and would do well in a home with proper introductions to friendly companions. While they have plenty of personality, they can be a little bitey when nervous or overstimulated, so they are best suited to an adopter with previous rat experience who understands rat body language and handling.

Because of this, they will need a calm, child-free home where they can continue building trust at their own pace. With patience, consistency, and understanding, these girls have the potential to become rewarding companions.

Clementine and Apple are available for adoption now and are hoping to find someone willing to give them the second chance they deserve.

Meet Daffodil, a sweet one-year-old Lab/Mastiff mix who has been waiting patiently at the shelter since March 1, 2026. When Daffodil first arrived, she was shy and unsure of her new surroundings, but with time, patience, and love, she has truly blossomed into a happy and social girl.

Now affectionately known as “Daf,” this beautiful pup has become quite the social butterfly. She absolutely loves other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine companion to help continue building her confidence and keep her company. Daffodil also adores people and enjoys soaking up attention from everyone she meets.

Daf walks nicely on a leash and is always eager to get outside and explore. She has done an amazing job coming out of her shell and is more than ready to trade shelter life for a loving forever home where she can continue to flourish.

If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with a playful social side, Daffodil may be the perfect match for you.

Meet Peach and Pear — two adorable one-year-old sisters looking for a patient, experienced home after being surrendered through no fault of their own. These cutie patooties are still learning to trust people and will need some time and understanding as they continue building their socialization skills.

Peach and Pear can be a little snippy when they’re feeling unsure, so they would do best in a home without children. With consistency, gentle handling, and plenty of treats, these girls have the potential to blossom into wonderful companions.

Because they’ll need an adopter who understands rat behavior and body language, Peach and Pear are hoping to find an experienced rat owner who can help them gain confidence and feel safe. If you’ve got the patience and heart to give these sweet girls a second chance, Peach and Pear would love to meet you!
