5 Reasons A Rat Makes A Good Pet
Are you ready to adopt your own cute and cuddly rat? If so, meet Larkspur.
VHS
Larkspur is a 1-month-old baby female rat! She and her siblings came to VHS from a house that had gotten overwhelmed with too many rats. She has her whole 2 to 3-year lifespan ahead of her, and is young enough to be well-socialized and learn fun new tricks. Rat adoption fees at VHS are $5 each (no cage or supplies included.) Apply online at www.vhslifesaver.org/adopt!
