Starting a Hamster Rescue
I've been thinking for a long time that I would like to start rescuing & rehoming the animals I know a bit about. Since I got my hamster boy, I realised that the area of Devon that I am in has always struggled with rescues like this. I found topics about my area on this forum talking about it years ago and how there was no access to ethically sourced pets within 80 miles.
I want to make something accessible for my community & thought I'd start by making a Facebook group or website. I posted an ad on this pet site talking about how I'd take on unwanted rodents and rehome them to really good homes, thinking not much of it. However, less than 24 hours had passed before I got a response. I think this is something that could really benefit my area.
It's always been a dream to have my own animal sanctuary, and I think even if I could do a little now, one day I could have something bigger.
Has anyone else done this here, and if so, how is it going?
