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.

Estimated birth date: 6/25/2020

Personality: Very shy (you are unable to touch this animal without it running away or being fearful, etc), Inquisitive, Energetic, Mouthy (puts mouth on you but does not bite down, usually thinking your fingers are food)

Favorite treats: Gerber cereal puffs, Freeze dried minnows

Favorite toys and activities: Roughhousing with brothers, shredding paper toys

Potty trained: We’re working on it!

This animal daily routine: These young guys like to sleep all day then raise a ruckus at about 3am!

BFF (Does this animal have or need a same species friend in their home?): Yes, Templeton is bonded to Megavolt, Roland and Rizzo!

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Housecat has kept her distance so they haven't interacted much

Health concerns: None

Behavioral concerns: None

Other notes: Templeton is slowly coming out of his shell, he's probably the most inquisitive of the four. Mouthy to the point of breaking skin, but definitely not a bite, we're working on being gentle. He's still mouthy and couldn't care less about human interaction

Templeton, Roland, Rizzo, & Megavolt made their way to MNPPR as a transfer all the way from TN where they were a part of a hoarding case.

Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. Templeton’s foster parent prefers to meet at the Richfield PetSmart - 1100 W 78th St, Richfield, MN 55423 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

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

Fee: Templeton, Roland, Rizzo, & Megavolt have a combined adoption fee of $45

We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask

All rats within MNPPR have tested negative for the Seoul virus before being placed up for adoption.
