Cooper (neutered) & Bobby (neutered)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet brothers, Cooper and Bobby. These two were found on the side of a highway in a box along with 22 other rats in St. Marthe QC. It is hard to say exactly how old they are, but we're guessing anywhere between 6 months and 1 year old. These two did not have it easy, as they both came in dirty, infested with parasites and were extremely aggressive with people and other rats. Thankfully, both have now completely changed after their respective neuters and now are friendly, curious and qu...

Chester & Ezra

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Brothers Chester & Ezra are estimated to be about 6 months old and are now looking for their forever home! These two beautiful, curious boys were surrendered by their well-meaning previous owner when she found herself in a very difficult situation. It would seem that at some point, they were well-loved, but came to us infested with lice and quite skiddish. After a few weeks at the Rescue, they are now quickly coming around. They love to dig around in blankets and also come up to you to sa...

Update: Aug. 30th. Black Jack has now been introduced to the beautiful and lively Sadie! These two make such a wonderful pair and are looking for a loving home together.

Rosalind and Bella

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet adorable, 8 month old sisters, Rosalind and Bella. You will not find a friendlier, or more sociable pair of rats anywhere.

The pair make a perfect duo, with Rosalind running around like crazy, and Bella hanging out with her humans. Please note these girls must be adopted together as they are tightly bonded. Rosalind w...

Ella & Ninja

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet sisters Ella and Ninja! We're not sure if they're really sisters, but they cuddle, play and overall get along wonderfully. Both girls are super active and curious. They're much more interested in exploring than cuddling right now, but that's probably partially also because they are estimated to be only 5-6 months old. Ella and Ninja are confident and will do well in any family that can give them plenty of toys, time to run around outside their cage and lots to explore. If you'd like t...

Dixie

Sept. 2020: Despite being the completely healthy one, our foster parents were shocked to find Dixie had passed away overnight. She had no symptoms and had suffered no trauma.

Perriwinkle (neutered) & Cota

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet brother's Perri and Cota. These two hilarious, bouncy boys would be a wonderful addition to any family who has the time and space to give them lots of attention and time-outside the cage to run, climb and generally go crazy. Of the two, Perri is definitely more active. He doesn't like to sit still, he's always curious about everything and is a very good climber (although he tends to get stuck on things and will need your help to get down). Cota on the other hand, calms down after about ...

Smokey, Pinkie & Snowy

Posted on by Rachel Shen
This trio of trouble-makers will light up your day and make sure you never have a dull moment when they are awake and around! Sisters Smokey, Pinkie & Snowy were abandoned at the SPCA in Gatineau, and were transferred to the rescue soon after as they would have a better chance of getting adopted. As well, Pinkie had a severe inner ear infection upon arrival. She was unable to walk straight or even balance enough to hold food! Poor girl was not doing well at the shelter at all. After 2 month...

Pebble & Yukon

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet baby sisters, Pebble and Yukon! Don't ask us who is who, because thus far, they are pretty identical. These two baby girls are an estimated 2 months old and unfortunately came from a hoarder who originally had intended to feed them to his snake. They, along with 21 other albino rats, were surrendered to us when he realized that he just had too many rats! Pebble and Yukon are slowly coming around under the kindness and persuasion of their foster mom. They are curious, but still skidd...

Angel, Faith & Hope

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet sisters, Angel, Faith & Hope. These 3 sisters were originally purchased from PetSmart and unfortunately, quickly became "too much work" for the girl who originally purchase them. It does not seem that they received any socialization in the most formative months of their lives, but luckily, our experienced foster mom has been able to make huge progress with these girls. Of the three, Angel and Hope (beige and merle) are the most outgoing and comfortable with humans. They are curious, acti...

Bruno & Jack

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet adorable, friendly, super curious brothers, Bruno and Jack. They absolutely love each other, and their human companions as well. Bruno and Jack love to explore, eat yummy healthy treats and squish together into hammocks or igloos to take naps. These two boys are an estimated 7-9 months old. They are more or less full grown now, but will probably gain a bit more weight based on how much their foster mom is spoiling them! Now that Bruno and Jack have been in their foster home for a f...

Benny & Hugo

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet brothers, Benny and Hugo. You will not find a more adorable pair anywhere! These brothers were unfortunately surrendered for being "too big". Realistically, they aren't even full grown yet at an estimated 5-6 months old. Of the two, Benny (beige) is slightly more anxious and tends to take a few more days to settle in and get used to new surrounding and new people. He's incredibly curious and boy or boy can he climb and explore when he wants to. Hugo on the other hand, is a much more c...

Margaret & Elizabeth

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet Elizabeth (beige) & her sister Margaret (black) These 2 sisters came from a pretty horrid situation where they lived with 2 others in a tiny cramped cage with no food or toys. They have come a very long way, as all of them were desperately in need of some proper nourishment and socialization. Of all of them, Elizabeth is the most outgoing. She's brave, adventurous and actually kind of likes people now. Margaret on the other hand, still needs quite a bit of patience and someone who can...

Hagrid & Hedwig *medical hold*

Looking for a sweet, friendly, adorable pair of boys? Look no further. Hagrid and Hedwig are literally the perfect pair. These brothers love each other, love people and above all, love to socialize. Hagrid especially will always wait for you at the door and come running the moment you call. Hedwig takes a little more time to warm up to you, but as you can see below, he's not exactly shy either. Both boys have no flaws when it comes to personality. Hagrid is just a little bit snatchy when ...

Teddy & Bear

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet brothers Teddy & Bear. These two sweethearts were being used as studs in a breeding project. They had a pretty rough start, living in a tiny cramped hamster cage and not given any chance to actually play and be rats. Thankfully, a kind-hearted lady convinced the previous owners to surrender them to her and she provided them with a huge upgrade! She reached out to us in the hopes of finding them a longer term home and a better chance at finding a forever home. Both boys are extremely s...

Amidala & Laiya

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Sweet sisters Amidala & Laiya are estimated to only be about 3 months old. They unfortunately had to be surrendered when their former human was evicted and had nowhere to go. The girls are extremely tightly bonded and are rarely apart. They are both a little bit shy, but super curious and great with riding your shoulders. They still have a lot of growing to do, but you'll have a hard time resisting their gorgeous little faces. If you have some love and time to spare, Amidala and Laiya w...

Opal (spayed) & Pirate

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Meet Opal and Pirate, two spunky girls who still have a lot of growing to do and tons of energy to expend. Opal is estimated to be 4 months old. She was spayed when only 3 months old, meaning she will hopefully be much healthier with a drastically LOWER chance of any reproductive cancers. She is a little love bug. She loves to give kisses and always looks for opportunities to scramble into your hand. Once she's out, she's quite bossy and confidence. Nothing phases her. She loves to explore, c...

Conrad & Marvin (neutered)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Conrad (albino) and Marvin (agouti) grew up together and have never been separated from each other. These two cuddle constantly and when they are in their cage, are often sleeping in a pile, or eating right next to each other. Of the two, Conrad is brave, outgoing, and extremely confident in himself. People don't make him nervous at all. He loves to run around on the ground and comes when you call. On the other hand, Marvin is a nervous wreck. New sounds, sudden movements, and especially new ...
