Due to health and safety concerns, we are now pursuing adoptions with additional safety measures in place. We will be asking potential adopters to discuss their individual preferences and comfort levels involving safety precautions during the greeting/adoption day step. We are HIGHLY suggesting all participants wear facial coverings, stay at least six feet apart, & use sanitization of all surfaces, and hands before and after contact.

Health concerns:

Behavioral concerns: Sarah is in our trust training program for her shy behavior towards humans, while Minerva & Dolores are in our trust training program for mouthy behavior when approached by hands. Her foster speaks quietly when around Sarah. She leaves treats near her while talking to her, to encourage her to take them and associate them with her foster’s voice. Her foster tries to not to pick Sarah up unless needed and have found ways to weigh her without having to hold her too much.

Trust Training Update 1/11/2021 - Sarah will come out for treats sometimes, but not always. She's the hardest to find when weights are needed but she doesn't panic when being held. Her foster is quiet and slow with movements around her and will talk to her every time she is visiting the mice.

Other notes: Sarah thrives with her bond mates and should always have a friend. She needs patience and softness.

Minerva, Dolores, & Sarah came to MNPPR after being found outside along with several other mice in a small dirty cage. When their rescuer could no longer afford vet care, they were transferred into our care.

Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. Sarah’s foster parent prefers to meet at the Chuck & Don's Pet Food & Supplies - 14109 Highway 13 S, Ste 109, Savage, MN 55378 or PetSmart - 14290 Plymouth Ave, Burnsville, MN 55337 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Our adoption process can be found on our website here: https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/process

Fee: Sarah, Minerva & Dolores will have a combined adoption fee of $11.

We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.
