We are currently closed until further notice. We will not be taking in any animals of any kind.

Pawsome is a inhome rescue and sanctuary for small exotic mammals such as rats, mice, guinea pigs, ferrets, hedgehogs, gerbils, sugar gliders and more. Originally founded in 2012, we focus mainly on animals that are deemed "not adoptable" due to issues such as aggression, genetically damaged, old, or sick. If an animal cannot be adopted out due to medical condition(s), age, or veterinarian/animal behavior specialist discretion, they will spend the rest of their days as a permanent sanctuary residence. 

We are promoters of proper and holistic pet nutrition and care. We work closely with many veterinarians to insure our residents are getting the best care possible. All of our animals are fed fresh mostly organic meals daily and our carnivores are fed a strictly raw meat diet. We pride ourselves with our custom to the animal diets prepared in our kitchen with ingredients sourced locally or grown organically in the USA. 

To raise funds for veterinary
 care and other rescue expenses, we sew custom cage accessories and travel/bonding pouches for almost any size animal. We've had many different customers ranging from the smallest mice to a beautiful young kangaroo joey! Our hammock business is Nekko's Critter Cozies and you can find it on our website or linked below.
