did you know
OK,
we all know about shelters for dogs and cats that need to find there forever home.
However did you all know that small animals like mice, rats, and guinea pigs get left out in the cold and dumped also?
Just because they are small doesn't mean that they are easy pets and can be disregarded right?
Well here are two links to some very good shelters here in QLD.
http://www.australiancavysanctuary.com/aboutus.htm
This site has sancturies all over Brisbane and will send guinea pigs interstate to the correct owners.
There is also Brisbane rat rescue that at the moment the link will not work..... will post it when it does. I got my two rats from here and they are much healthier than the ones found in petshops that come from backyard breeders.
Any way if you have any Questions about either of the shelter ill be happy to help.
And don't worry if you live some where else in Australia i am sure if you give the shelter a call or email they will be happy to assit you in finding a shelter in you area.
Sorry i am rambelling i just fell that we need to spread the word "WHY buy when animals in shelters die?" and that goes for all animals big and small.

Re: did you know
Hello! There is also a Rat Rescue here in Perth called Perth Rat Rescue and Rehab, find their website here -> http://www.prrr.org/ they are such lovely people!! we had a male rat with a 'dead' leg we couldn't keep as all our rats were girls and they took him ('limpy') in and even give me updates on his health etc.
so let your pals know if they need to buy supplies they can do so and support this group at the same time! http://www.prrr.org/

Re: did you know
Yes I was well aware of these animals needing homes. Far too many in my opinion.
