Cheerio's Story

Cheerio is a young male hybrid dwarf hamster who came to us from an accidental litter. He was born approximately May 6th, 2026.<br/><br/>Cheerio and his siblings came to us as part of an accidental litter. He loves salads, sandbaths, and his wheel. When you scoop him up in your hands, he will gently nibble to see if you have any snacks, but then will settle in once he realizes there's no food. He used to be quite nervous but has made significant progress in his comfort with people and continues to improve. He would do well with a home willing to continue to work on his handling skills and give him lots of love!<br/><br/>Our adoption fee for dwarf hamsters is $10<br/><br/>We can meet for adoptions within 1 hour of Minneapolis or Faribault, MN. Potentially further- please inquire and we can discuss!<br/><br/>APPLY HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf-XKeCEMgJ9aEA0CR1Pv9NGcoNcMkY0dw2m3DehyChe4ToVA/viewform?usp=header

Tiny Whiskers Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
The first step is to fill out an adoption application. This includes questions about their proposed enclosure for the animal, food, enrichment, and whether they have an exotic vet or not. We review the response and contact them with any questions we have. Once all questions have been answered and approved, we move on to the second step. This involves submitting multiple photos of their enclosure, fully set up for their animal. We inspect the photos and address any concerns we see. Once we can ascertain that the enclosure meets our requirements, we give final approval for adoption. A meet up is arranged for the person to take home their new pet. At the meet up, we have a contact that must be signed by the person (or legal adult) agreeing to take proper care of the animal, not to breed it, and that they will contact us if the animal becomes sick within the first week, or if they are unable to care for the animal any longer.
