Saw this a rat community on LiveJournal and wanted to pass it along...
We (the Humane League of Philadelphia - Hugs for Puppies has changed its name) were recently contacted by a local university that is set to kill 70 rats they used in psychology experiments. However, the school is willing to turn over to us any rats that we can find homes for. We are desperately seeking people who would be interested in adopting one or several of these extremely sweet, sociable rats.
Adoption would literally mean saving their lives, since we are not going to be able to find homes for all 70 and any that we cannot find homes for will be gassed to death.
All of the rats are white albinos, are male, are very friendly with people and with one another.
f anyone on this list can adopt, or help us spread the word on the east coast, it would be extremely appreciated.
If you have any questions, feel free to email us at
info@thehumaneleague.com or call me at 484-904-6004.
We will be picking up an initial group of the rats late next week, and are in many cases able to drive the rats to you (or near you) if you are not able to pick them up.
Thank you!
Nick
I hope some of you in the area can help!
