About

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.

Adoption process

1. Fill out an adoption application. Be sure to do lots of research on the species you'd like to adopt before filling out your application! You can check out our care guides. 2. We will review your application, then email you to let you know if you have been tentatively approved and to set up a Virtual Meet & Greet between you, the foster family, and your potential new pets. The Virtual Meet & Greet will be conducted via a service such as Google Meet, Facebook Video, Zoom, etc. 3. After the Virtual Meet & Greet, we will email you to discuss how it went and if we are to move forward with the adoption process. If so, we will have you email us a photo or video of the habitat or cage you will be housing your new pet in, including furnishings. Housing guidelines and links to recommended cages are listed on each species care guide page. Be sure to review this prior to purchasing a habitat for your new pets and let us know if you have any questions or need help. 4. We will review your habitat or cage photos and email you to let you know if they are approved. If not approved, we will provide suggestions in order to better the habitat. 5. Our Adoption Manager or Adoption Correspondent will contact you to let you know whether you have the approval to move on to adoption. If so, you will then complete our adoption contract, pay the adoption fee online, and arrange a time and date to meet. If all goes well at this meeting, you will be taking home your new pet! 6. When you pick up your new pet, be sure to bring a secure carrier to take them home in. You will need to have the habitat set up and all the supplies ready. We do not send home any supplies with adopted animals.
