MN Pocket Pet Rescue

MNPPR is a 501(c)3 organization founded in 2014 committed to the rescue & adoption of Pocket Pets.

OUR MISSION
MN Pocket Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization primarily serving the Twin Cities Metro Area, focusing on education and public outreach. Our intent is to keep all animals in their homes, with their families, whenever possible. We are committed to rescuing those pocket pets that are in jeopardy of being euthanized or are in danger of being abused, left unattended, or in other types of vulnerable situations. We ensure all animals receive proper veterinary care, medication, and special training for any behavioral issues, as well as to arrange safe, temporary homes for these animals until stable forever homes can be found. Our team is made up of enthusiastic volunteers who work passionately to serve the underrepresented and often misunderstood niche of pocket pets in the overall rescue community and the general public.

Peter Cottontail is a curious, adorable rat who can't wait to find a permanent spot to call home. This little guy was transferred from another animal rescue due to his biting history. That being said, he has made excellent progress over the last few months and will often come to the front of his cage to see what his foster family is up to—He likes to greet his people! Peter can be adopted as a solo rat due to being uncomfortable with other male rats. We are confident he will make a great companion to a patient, kind family who has plenty of treats to share! Hoping to find out a bit more about Peter?

We are sad to share about the unexpected passing of one of our Guinea Pig animal ambassadors: Tank. 💔 Tank was so sweet and gentle, and loved being held, pet, and given treats.

Tank was an Animal Ambassador for MNPPR for 4 years - he was found outside, so owner Katie doesn’t know his exact age but she estimates he was about 7 years old when he crossed the Bridge. During his time on the team, he participated in over a dozen events with MNPPR, including public events providing Guinea Pig Pignic encounters, private AHS Camp events, and some private Vet Teaching Program events.

To donate in Tank's memory, please visit our website: https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/donate

Party on, Wayne. Party on Garth... 🤘

Well, if you consider marathon naps partying, these two would certainly be pros!

Wayne and Garth are brothers that love their treats, free time and soft blankets. They are currently in Trust Training for being shy, but their foster sees them making great progress!

Watch for more information about Wayne and Garth, along with other available pocket pets on our website: https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/available-rats
