How We're Helping

We are a South Florida nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about the misunderstood companion pet rat. We also provide shelter to surrendered small pets. To date, we've helped chinchillas, mice, hamsters, Norway rats, gerbils, hedgehogs, ferrets, and sugar gliders. While gerbils, hamsters, mice, and companion rats stay with us. Other pets we work with specialized rescues throughout Florida.

June 2019 UPDATE: We can no longer accept guinea pigs and bunnies. Please contact https://humanebroward.com/ http://www.luvapet.net/index.html or Wild Cargo (561) 687-5055 for assistance.

Thank You

Whether you help through monetary donations, supplies, volunteering your time, or telling people we exist, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.

Added Services with JOSR rats

AFRMA, FRBA, NARR Registered Breeder

I started breeding because I had sweet, intelligent pet rats and wanted to keep that genetic temperament going, plus share with other rat lovers. Over the last five years, we have seen a strengthening of their immune system and increased longevity. I'm now using them to help improve other genetic lines. Rats are different than other pets. If private ethical breeding isn't done, the species will degrade. I breed for their future.

Our rats are always welcomed home...
