OTHER ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS
A list of trusted animal welfare organizations you can find rescued rats: LadyBird Animal Sanctuary, All Creatures Rescue Toronto, Ottawa Rat Rescue, Ottawa Pocket Pet Rescue, Marley's Pet Rescue, or your local Humane Society.

*These are places we’ve worked closely with or observed ethical practices in, but we can’t speak to the details of their operations.

If you are a representative of an animal welfare organization and would like to join this list, click this:

REQUEST FORM TO JOIN NETWORK OF TRUSTED RESCUE PARTNERS
*Please fill out this Word document, and e-mail to rainbowratrefgue@gmail.com!

We strongly value transparency and would love to answer any of your questions in regards to our approach, practices, and records. We can also provide references from other animal welfare organizations and veterinarians.

We encourage people to look into what it means to be a reputable rescue and ask questions themselves when looking into supporting and adopting from rescues. Rescues are not regulated in Ontario. Unfortunately, this means anyone can call themselves a rescue. This includes animal hoarders, breeders, and those with other unethical practices. We will be providing resources on how to assess rescues and determine which ones are reputable amongst animal welfare organizations, and veterinarians.
