A Pint-Sized Rescue

A pint-sized rescue, operated by a pint-sized human, helping pint-sized animals.

Mission Statement:
A Pint-Sized Rescue aims to aid any small exotic animal in need within the Palouse and surrounding areas, giving each a fighting chance through health, safety, love, compassion, commitment, and resource guidance.

Core Values:
A Pint-Sized Rescue is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of small exotic animals. We provide the most ethical care possible of our abilities to all animals within our rescue, to include proper housing, nutrition, and veterinary medicine. We deliver unconditional love, attention, and patience to every animal in our care no matter their history. We guarantee safe placement into future homes and a promise to every animal who comes through our rescue that they will always have a place here with us should those homes fail to work or should they be considered unsuitable for placement.

Individually, we might not have the power to change the whole world, but we have the power to change their world.

Iggy is at the vet for a recheck.

Today is the final day to donate to our $1500 donation matching fundraiser. We’ve raised about 1/3 of the total. Every donation helps make a major difference.

In the past few weeks we have had three major emergencies – Nayru with bleeding, Optimus with pneumonia, and Gillyweed with an infection. We have had additional emergencies – Skunky Brewster with an inner ear infection, and many rechecks to make sure everyone is recovering well and to make any necessary medication changes.

We do all of this for them simply because they deserve it. But we couldn’t do any of it without the support from donors like you.

Sweet Potato is looking for her perfect forever home.

This little girl came to us after she was purchased “on a whim” from a pet store. Her new owners quickly realized they didn’t want to care for a hamster and she found her way to us, where her placement into an ethical home could be ensured.

Sweet Potato is just a baby with an approximate birthdate of September 6, 2026. She is incredibly bold and adventurous, and surprisingly trusting. This little darling is going to make someone a very lovely companion. If you are interested in adopting Sweet Potato, fill out an adoption application at www.apintsizedrescue.org. *Our rescue is located in Portland, Oregon.

Know before you adopt:
•Syrian hamsters require 100 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm cage dimensions – Ideal cages include Bucatstate 3.0 (Large is 120 cm long which is awesome for Syrians), Niteangel Bigger World (also has a 120 cm Large option), Pawhut 115 cm in length (remove shelves due to fall risk for hamsters), Prolee 40”, and other such cages with a MINIMUM of 100 cm length (40 inches), 50 cm depth (19.5 inches), and 50 cm height (19.5 inches).
•All hamsters require a MINIMUM of 8 inches of gently compacted bedding. This is generally about 120 liters or more of bedding.
•Hamsters require regular spot cleaning, including cleaning their “bathroom” burrow out, but full bedding changes should be avoided to reduce stress. If bedding changes are required due to too much random soiling, only change up to 1/3 of the bedding in one day.
•Syrian hamsters are mostly nocturnal, preferring to come out to forage, roam, and run on their wheels after dark. This generally makes them less than ideal as a children’s or family pets and better suited for a college student, “night owl,” or someone who doesn’t mind possibly not seeing their pet for days on end. Some hamsters will adjust their sleep schedules to come out and say hello slightly earlier, but this does not apply to all and is dependent on the individual hamster’s personality.
•••Hamsters are cute but they are also complex. Don’t adopt any animal simply because their cuteness sways you. Know what they require and what to expect before committing.•••

🏥Optimus Needs Support🏥

Little Optimus Prime, one of the young rats from the Seaside neglect case, is going to the vet for an emergency appointment today, October 23rd. This little guy had a medical episode last night (October 22nd) that has left us very concerned about his heart.

These darling little Seaside rats have endured so much in their short lives. Little Optimus was born on the very night of their rescue to his tiny momma Skunky Brewster (who herself is currently going through some medical challenges). Despite the awful history of these Seaside rats, they have some of the brightest and sweetest personalities that are constantly shining through. They absolutely love life and simply want to keep on living it. It’s down to us to give them that chance and support them through any hurdles.

Any donations made now through October 28th will be matched by two generous donors until we reach our goal of $1500! Help us help them. Help make a real difference.

Tilty Skunky Brewster had a checkup today for her ear infection and consequent head tilt.

Unfortunately, Skunky appears to have not responded to the medication she was on for her ear infection and her head tilt got worse in that time. We have changed up her meds and are very hopeful that this new treatment plan will work for her. If we do not see improvement soon then the next step will be to take radiographs of her skull to see if something more is going on inside. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that she starts improving. These Seaside rats have had such a rough go of it from the day they were born. She deserves so much comfort and happiness in this life.

Due to her head tilt and lack of great coordination right now, Skunky and her sister, Lady Cheddarton, have been staying in a hospital cage for the time being. They don’t seem to have too many complaints about this arrangement since hospital cages are kept in the human’s bedroom and that means they get lots of extra treats 🤭.

We have a $1500 donation match fundraiser going through October 28th. We currently have a great deal of veterinary debt due to our ongoing emergencies and medical management for current residents. Every donation we receive goes directly to the medical care for these little ones and makes such a great difference in their lives. We truly couldn’t do what we do without the support we receive from our community – rat-loving people like you.

🏥 Calling all generous souls 🏥

From now until October 28th, we have a $1500 donation matching fundraiser going thanks to two very generous souls.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the generosity and support our munchkins and our rescue have had and continue to receive from the small animal-loving community. We have had some major medical emergencies recently and we are nowhere near out of the woods yet. Nayru’s emergency alone cost us $905 in one day. Skunky Brewster is still ill and has a follow-up appointment on October 22nd, which will likely require more testing. Even with all the support and donations we have recently received, we are still about $1000 in medical debt. When we say every penny counts, we really mean it. Every donation makes a very impactful difference for these little ones who depend on us.

‼️Nayru is very ill‼️

And she needs your help, desperately.

Naryu began exhibiting signs and symptoms of a UTI around 9pm on Thursday, October 15th. By midnight, Nayru had begun passing more heavily blood-saturated urine, and even straight blood. She was obviously very unwell. By the following morning, not even twelve hours past the initial onset of visible symptoms, Nayru was in hypodermic shock (shock from losing too much blood) and was rushed to the vet as soon as they opened.

Nayru was immediately given lifesaving care to help stabilize her – fluids, oxygen, warming, and medications. She is in serious but stable condition at this time. Nayru is one of the rats from the Seaside neglect case. She is only 4.5 months old.

I hate to use this word, but we *desperately* need your support. We are already more than $1100 in the hole from recent veterinary emergencies. Nayru’s emergency care is going to cost us upwards of $800 on top of this.

Gillyweed is at the vet today after falling suddenly ill on Tuesday night. We are unsure of what is ailing her and need to do further tests to rule things out.

Gilly needs radiographs (x-ray imaging) which cost approximately $275. Our vet fund is currently in the negative by $680. Any amount of donation makes a huge difference for these little lives.

‼️Gillyweed is sick and needs your help‼️

Gillyweed started showing general malaise yesterday evening with no other obvious symptoms, aside from some porphyrin staining around her eyes and nose, and maybe just a spot on the tip of her urethra. She is exhausted and just wants to sleep (never a good sign). With no improvements seen today, we have her scheduled for an emergency exam tomorrow.

The emergency exam costs $155. We don’t know what additional tests they may want to run, so no idea of additional charges at this time. Her follow-up will be $75 (charged same day as her emergency exam – tomorrow). We are still in the negatives by over $650 with very few donations coming in. We know it’s hard times for many of us, but we really couldn’t do any of what we do for these little ones without the help from our beloved community.

Iggy is back at the vet for a recheck today. Blue tagged along to keep him company.

We are still greatly in the hole with veterinary bill debt – over $650. We have several upcoming appointments that will cost up to $515 total in addition to our current debt. Every donation makes a true difference for these little ones.

Our sweet little Din, from the Seaside rats, had a medical event over the weekend that has us worried about her heart. We will be scheduling her for an exam which will include radiographs of her chest.

This exam will cost approximately $430 ($155 exam fee + $275 thoracic radiographs fee). We are still quite deeply in the negatives and are grateful for any donations. When we say every penny counts, we really mean it.
