Well, last night poor Hope crosses the bridge. I am sorry I couldn't do more! I hope she knew she was loved and cared about and not the garbage that was thrown out.
Rescue Rehabilitation Re-homing
Tree of Life Rescue is a privately run small animal rescue. Our focus is the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of pet rats and reptiles.
Hey all!
We are gearing up for a very large rescue of 40 rats! This is going to stretch our resources to the very max! TOLR is looking for foster homes as well as adopters! We do not have pictures yet but we do have a list! ages ranging from 7 weeks to 1 year old, standard, rex, and double rex and a hairless! Any donations of FOOD, FLEECE, BEDDING, CAGES, WATER BOTTLES & of course money are greatly appreciated! we do have a paypal account ( [email protected] ) anything else please contact us here or my email! thanks in advance and keep checking back for updates! It takes a village , thanks for being part of Tree of life rescue's village! Just an update for those who are following these girls!
Both girls breathing is improving, as well as gaining weight. Yesterday morning Hope greeted me at the cage door for the first time AND fought me with her antibiotics! Her survival is still guarded but improving everyday! These 2 girls are just another example at how strong and awesome these creatures are! So I just want to start off with a disclaimer. This situation is very frustrating for me as a rescue. I will do my best to keep calm and positive. lol Ok I received 2 female rats that had been "dumped" one black berk dumbo I named Hope and a black hooded top ear I named Faith. Filthy dirty, Hope is skin and bones at just 194 grams. Faith is a bit better but still thin. Both have severe pneumonia. I took the girls to the vet got them xrays and antibiotics. so 250 bucks later & no guarantee of survival I am doing all I can for 2 girls that someone discarded like trash. If you need help please ask for it BEFORE this get so bad!!!! all this money could be helping numerous other rescue animals but instead is going towards 2 sweet girls that could have been re homed and taken care for free! If you would like to help with Hope & Faith or any of our other rescues please contact us or you can also donate with Paypal using our email [email protected]
Please keep these 2 girls in your thoughts! Off on a 4 hour round trip journey to pick up 5 rescues today! 3 females 2 males ! Keep checking in for updates and pictures!
So today while at Winco on 99 in Vancouver, I had the most amazing thing happen. while in the check out the nice lady behind me was commenting on my odd variety of produce, cereals and bulk seeds. I told her I have a rescue for small animals and reptiles! lol we got talking about rats and tortoises and what they eat. After a great conversation we went our separate ways. As I headed for the door the checker ran up to me and handed me a Winco gift card for $30! the lady BEHIND the one i was talking to overheard our conversation and bought the rescue a gift card to help with groceries! As we are privately run and rely on donations this hit me and to be honest made me tear up a bit! so A HUGE THANKS to the kind stranger that provided $30 of produce for the rescued kids!!
