Some of my Rules about my Adoption progress and Etc.
I use bin cages breeding and housing of my rats. If you don't like that, please move along.
I do not house or keep overly skittish, aggressive , or in general un-mentally sounds animals.
ARS stands by all the rats we produce and adopt out, If you are unable to care for your animal regardless of the reason , we will take it back 100%. We will not however give you a refund!
All our rats start at $40 per rat and go up from there depending on variety and genetic traits, I do not currently offer shipping to out of state cliental.
No rat will be held without a Deposit there is NO exception to this rule. This deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE, and will go towards the full price of the rat when you come to pick it up. If you put a deposit on a rat and decide you would like another unclaimed rat instead, you may transfer the payment over, but you may only do this ONCE. If you pick a rat and pay, but never pick it up or you refuse to meet in the designated pickup location or your a no show! Then I have full right to put said animal back up for sale your application will be voided, thus putting you on my Do Not Adopt List! Rats are available to go home at 8wks of age, They will be resold if they are still here when they hit 12wks of age.
I do not breed to make a profit, there is NO money in breeding rats. All the money I earn from my animals goes right back into their care to pay for food, bedding, housing, vet care and serology testing.
If you have a problem with me or the way I do things, tell me. Don't go and sneak around telling lies to people in blacklist groups. "Pull up your big girl panties and say something to me! After all I'm the breeder and no one else is in my rattery!"
All payments for our rats can be sent via a Venmo. Final payment is to be done in cash or Direct Venmo Payment
All rats are to be picked up in the designated area, which I will send you. This day usually falls on a Saturday on the weekend. So please make sure you can meet me when requested. Please bring with you a form of identification, I will not give the rat to any other person then who I’m in contact with. This is for the safety of the animal, and for the sake of your 14 day health certificate!! If you can’t meet me on the set day and time, please notify me 48hrs in advance so we can reschedule.
If you need delivery of your animal, all gas payments for delivery must be paid for in advance, I will not even think about driving for delivery without gas money in my pocket first. This can be sent via cheque through the mail. The delivery charge is on top of your adoption fee, it is separate and I don't discount adoption fees because you may need delivery! Please inquire in advance about gas fees if you believe you need delivery!
Once the rat leaves my hands, you are in charge of all vet care. I WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY VET BILLS, THIS IS NOW YOUR PET AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. All my animals have pictures taken the day they leave, You will also be required to sign a health note on pick up to agree with if you believe the animal is health, and free of any and all illnesses, this includes. Sneezing, raspy lungs, lethargy, rashes, mite, lice and etc.
I DO NOT sell solo animals, you will be required to adopt two rats of the same sex, unless you can provide proof that you have another rat at home that needs a cage mate, if that is the case you will be required to send me pics of the rat in question showing me the genital region to confirm sex. I will not sell your rat a girl friend or a boy friend!, All rats are sold in same sex pairs for a reason! I will also not sell to homes with mixed colonies!
You will be required to sign an adoption form, this is so you give me acknowledgment of your understanding to the care that is to be given to your new pet, and etc. All animals are sold as PET ONLY! unless previously discussed!
Last and not Least, Please remember to bring your own box with some bedding when you come to pick up your new pet! Please no cat carriers!! I will Refuse to let them go if you show up with a cat carrier!
When sending me a message in regards for adoption, you will have 48hrs to respond to my message to let me know your 100% interested if not I will move on to the next person. All adopters are placed on a waiting list that is run first come, first serve!
This list of information may change as I see fit. I reserver the right to refuse the sale of my animals to any person for any reason, at anytime! If I see that its not the right fit!
