The Rhinelander Rat Rescue was formed in April of 2005. Since then this small home based rescue has found loving homes to over 30 rats! Two years later we are still going strong.

The rescue is located in Rhinelander Wisconsin, about 60 miles north of Wausau. We run a closed rescue for the safety of our rats. But pictures of the rescue is on our picture page.

Over the last two years we have also worked closely with the Marathon County Humane Society and also the Oneida County Humane Society.

The rescue is home to 14 resident rats and several rats up for adoption. We follow strickt quarenteen rules for every rat that is rescued or surrendered before it comes into the rescue. The health of the rats here is extreemly important to us. Rats are quarenteened for a minimum of three weeks before comming here. If a rat is listed but still in quarenteen you will see a date available under their adoption picture.

All rats here are treated with love and respect and are fed a high quality home made rat food called Suebees mix, there is a link to it under the main page links. I also cook meals for the rats here useing high quality foods and homegrown foods in the summer time.

The Rescue is not 501 as of yet. So although we rely on donations and sales of merchandise, the donations are not tax claimable. Hopefuly this will be changeing in the future. But please concider donating as all donations go directly into the care of the rats here.
