We had a ratty bonanza at the vet today, we brought the Xena girls for pre-adoption exams and Stuart from the south park group to check out some old man symptoms.

Xena, Callisto and Gabrielle checked out healthy and can now be adopted! They are probably young, maybe 5 months old. Somebody come get these girls, Xena is especially sweet and would love to be your shoulder rat! They are a trio and only adoptable all together.

Stuart is doing okay, but might have some heart issues going on. Randy was a good buddy and kept him company for the trip!

We had our final Art Camp Presentation of the summer this week at Creative Arts Studio, this may have been the fastest-flying summer ever!
Leroy the turtle, Mochi the dragon, Van the bunny, Taco and Burrito the guinea pigs and Pete the beetle slayed their peformance and ended up with some pretty incredible fan art!

Thanks again for having us and we can't wait to come back next year.

Now that Peanut Butter has your attention with his razzle-dazzle, he wants to tell you something!

We are finally replacing the door of the animal building- it is probably about 30 years old and everytime we get a heavy rain, water gushes under the door. It's messy and its not very good for the animals!

To replace our door is 💲 1 7 0 0
So if you have the ability to help out, the animals would greatly appreciate it! and so would the humans with the mops! Even a couple jellybeans helps out the cause.

This week's adoption of a very special rat named Damian put us over another big milestone: 600 pets adopted! Thank you so much to all of our adopters who go out of their way to give these pets a second chance instead of buying from commercial pet stores.

Welcoming the "Xena girls" Xena, Callisto and Gabrielle to Lost Woods! These girls came to us as a transfer from a neighboring county's animal control and they are the SWEETEST! They seem young, maybe 6-9 months old, and they want to give you some kisses!

Celebrating the adoption of Aaron, Shane, and Damian! We are always happy when previous adopters come back for more friends, and it is that much better when a special needs pet is adopted. Damian is a very old rat with neurological issues but he is still so affectionate and still has a lot of zest for life. He stole the heart of his adopter and the 3 boys went home together. Thanks for choosing adoption!

We had a blast yesterday bringing degus, guinea pigs, a gecko, a ball python, and a hissing cockroach to visit the campers at Creative Arts Studio. The young artists did a great job capturing the essence of our rescue pets!
