MN Pocket Pet Rescue MNPPR is a 501(c)3 organization founded in 2014 committed to the rescue & adoption of Pocket Pets.

OUR MISSION
MN Pocket Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization primarily serving the Twin Cities Metro Area, focusing on education and public outreach. Our intent is to keep all animals in their homes, with their families, whenever possible. We are committed to rescuing those pocket pets that are in jeopardy of being euthanized or are in danger of being abused, left unattended, or in other types of vulnerable situations. We ensure all animals receive proper veterinary care, medication, and special training for any behavioral issues, as well as to arrange safe, temporary homes for these animals until stable forever homes can be found. Our team is made up of enthusiastic volunteers who work passionately to serve the underrepresented and often misunderstood niche of pocket pets in the overall rescue community and the general public.

Party on, Wayne. Party on Garth... 🤘

Well, if you consider marathon naps partying, these two would certainly be pros!

Wayne and Garth are brothers that love their treats, free time and soft blankets. They are currently in Trust Training for being shy, but their foster sees them making great progress!

Watch for more information about Wayne and Garth, along with other available pocket pets on our website: https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/available-rats

Important RDHV2 Update For Rabbit Owners ⚠️

The Minnesota Board of Animal Health announced last week that Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 (RDHV2) has been confirmed as a cause of fatalities in two rabbit colonies in northern Minnesota. These are the first confirmed cases of RHDV2 in the state since 2022. RHDV2 is highly contagious and can be spread directly through contact with infected rabbits, as well as via vectors such as flies, humans, car tires, hay/feed, and vegetables.

RHDV2 is preventable via vaccination. Visit a pocket pet savvy vet for more information on how to get your rabbit vaccinated against the RDHV2 virus. Twin Cities Area Pocket Pet Vets ➡️ https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/vets

Visit the Minnesota Board of Animal Health's press release for more detailed information about RHDV2 and the recent outbreak: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MNBAH/bulletins/42c8518

Look at these faces. 😍

Viridian and Pewter are lovely rabbit sisters who have been in the rescue for quite some time. We are ✨anxious✨ for them to find a loving home where they can eat their hay and play together. Unfortunately, Viridian and Pewter came to MNPPR after being found outside. We are so thankful they are getting such great care—next stop is adoption. These girls deserve the world! Hoping to learn a little more about this bunny pair? Take a peek at their profiles!
