Welcome to the Georgia Rat Rescue!
The Georgia Rat Rescue is a small foster based rescue dedicated to helping pet rats. We are one of the few rescue groups that is solely dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and finding permanent forever homes for surrendered or abandoned domestic pet rats here within the Southeast USA, primarily in and around Atlanta, Georgia. We also seek to spread awareness, education and support for pet rats whenever we can. We are an all volunteer organization that does not receive funding from the state or any government agencies.The GA Rat Rescue relies solely on donations, volunteer funding and the revenue generated from our food and cages store to support the animals in our care.
Please note: Due to the shear volume of surrender requests we receive each week, we do now keep a surrender wait list and have to be much more discerning of cases we can take in due to limited resources and fosters. Before contacting us, please check into all of our options for being able to keep your rats as well as alternative surrender options- please only contact us only in cases of surrender emergencies.
