Our mission is to rescue, foster, and rehome small pets and to educate the community on proper small pet care.
Petites Pattes Rescue is a small foster-based rescue located in Silver Spring, Maryland but we'd love to hear from all over the DMV!
We are a home-based foster care system for gerbils, hamsters, and mice. Our fosters give the rescue animals a loving and safe temporary home while we look for their forever home. We are knowledgeable about the small pets we take care of and their needs. Think you would be a good fit? Email us or fill out our volunteer/foster forms!
I'm Katheryn, the founder of Petites Pattes Rescue! All my life I've loved animals. I've had rescue dogs growing up and then I discovered pocket pets. I became obsessed with learning everything I could find about them. My parents eventually let me get two male gerbils! I kept doing research and found out that the care I was told was good
I'm Katheryn, the founder of Petites Pattes Rescue! All my life I've loved animals. I've had rescue dogs growing up and then I discovered pocket pets. I became obsessed with learning everything I could find about them. My parents eventually let me get two male gerbils! I kept doing research and found out that the care I was told was good enough, was very outdated and I needed to upgrade their care. It is incredibly hard to find proper care, information, and the right supplies for small companions these days. That is why I started this rescue. To give "throw away" pets a second chance and a loving home.
Our mission is to help gerbils, mice, and hamsters who are in need a loving and safe temporary home whilst we take care of any veterinary needs and find them their forever home. We vet potential adoptees to make sure they are informed and want to give their new furry friend the best life possible! We care deeply about each and every small
Our mission is to help gerbils, mice, and hamsters who are in need a loving and safe temporary home whilst we take care of any veterinary needs and find them their forever home. We vet potential adoptees to make sure they are informed and want to give their new furry friend the best life possible! We care deeply about each and every small animal we take in and we want the best for your furry friends at home! This is why we offer endless amounts of resources and information on proper care and husbandry.
We understand that caring for small animals isn't for everyone. If you are located in Maryland, D.C., or certain areas of Virginia we would be glad to get in contact with you about fostering your mouse, hamster, or gerbil! If we can't take them in for whatever reason we will do our best to refer you to another rescue or give you resources to make care easier! Fill out our surrender application and we will get right back to you!
If you are interested in adopting one of our foster pets or if you can't take care of your small pet anymore, let us know.
