Your Pet's Story or Bio
Our precious little Pod, our little hooded rat, found us two years ago on this very month. He was such a sweet boy who loved to give kisses, adventure on his mommy's shoulder and snuggle and nap in her arms. He came from the shelter alone, close to a year old and never having had other rattie friends before his life with us. He was so special and we knew it the moment we saw his little face poke out from his hammock at the shelter. We wanted to give him the life he so deserved after being abandoned and neglected. Pod was a gentle soul with so much love to give, all he ever wanted was to be with us andto love and be loved. Little Pod passed peacefully at home on March 17 2018 at the age of 3, held, loved and comforted by his human mom and dad.
