Mainely Rat Rescue is a non-profit animal rescue focusing on rats, hamsters, guinea pigs and other pocket pets. We do not have a physical shelter, but instead have a large network of foster homes throughout the northeastern United States. All animals are properly cared for while in the custody of MRR, provided with food, shelter, socialization, and medical treatment when needed. We work closely with several area veterinarians. We are a “no-kill" rescue, and only perform humane euthanasia after careful consideration, when it is decided to be in the best interest of the animal. Mainely Rat Rescue is an all volunteer organization and does not receive funding from the state or any government agencies.
