LABORATORY RATS

At Second Chance Heroes, we are dedicated to working closely with laboratories to adopt out rats who have retired from their busy jobs as scientists. 

SHELTERS

Each year, we welcome around 100 rats from shelter partners across the state, and occasionally from out-of-state shelters in urgent need.

We have many rats in need of loving homes. If you re interested in adopting any of our rats, complete the adoption application below.

The application process to adopt them was very easy and straightforward. Eva reached out to me quickly and we chatted and set everything up for me to officially adopt them!
