Augustine's Story

Augustine was transferred from a city shelter for being a finger-biter. At first we thought he was just a through-the cage biter but he has also had other infractions and also bit the vet. Bonding attempts have not gone very well but Auggie was the only one who got injured during that attempt so he might be okay with a different rat, but would advise caution trying. He really enjoys to walk onto our gloved hands and be held. His biting is kind of mysterious as he is a friendly guy, he just chooses violence sometimes.https://www.lostwoodsas.com/adoption-application

Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
Adopters first fill out an application on our website, which asks about the adopter's household, how they plan on housing their new pet and what they plan on feeding. Because exotics have very species-specific housing and dietary needs, we have a director reach out to each adopter to discuss proper housing, diet and husbandry, as well as lifespan and handling. Adopters can choose to schedule a meet-and-greet with the animal or adopt without a meet. We need to receive a picture of the enclosure when it is ready, and when the enclosure and the adopter are ready, we schedule the adoption. Our adoption fees are set to be comparable to the animal's price at a pet store. Adopters sign a contract certifying that if they can no longer care for the animal, they must return them to Lost Woods. When adopting bonded pairs/groups, each bondmate is half fee. Fees: Rabbit, chinchilla, or tortoise $100 Bearded dragon or degu $50 Guinea pig $40 pair $30 single Leopard gecko $30 Rat, hamster, or gerbil $20 Mouse $15
