Constitution

PRRR - Perth Rat Rescue & Rehab or PRRR refers to the non-profit organisation registered as PRRR– Perth Rat Rescue & Rehab.

Goals & Strategies

    1. To provide for the Rescue & Rehabilitation of Domesticated (PET) rats in Western Australia
    2. We will provide veterinary care where needed as well as socialisation and suitability tests for all of the animals that come into PRRR – Perth Rat Rescue & Rehab’s care. Should an animals health be causing the said animal pain that can not be treated or controlled the animal will be humanely euthanased by a qualified veterinarian of our choice
    3. Our goal is to rescue animals that have been lost, abandoned, neglected or without owners. If the animals require rehabilitation we will commit to this before offering the animal for adoption. We hope to be able to adopt these animals to loving homes where they will be cared for properly for the rest of their lives
    4. We aim to supply all adoptive and interested parties with information regarding to rat care and wellbeing in the hopes that this information will be used by the public to care for the domestic rats that they currently have or are considering having to help reduce the number of animals that are being dumped due to lack of information. This information will be provided via a website, forum, hardcopy format as well as personal contact.

    5. We aim to find permanent homes for animals that come into our care.
